Firming creams: fight off flabbiness
What exactly are firming creams?
As we mentioned earlier, firming creams help to avoid flabbiness, but another advantage of these creams is that most of them have other ingredients to hydrate our skin, provide antioxidants and even to eliminate fat. They are 2 or 3 in 1 products that also have other advantages, such as eliminating stretch marks or activating microcirculation, just to mention some.
Most firming products are multi-purpose, which means they can be used on different parts of the body. Therefore, with the same product you will have everything you need to tone the skin on your belly, arms and buttocks. To firm your facial skin, we recommend using specific face care products.
When should you start to use firming creams?
That largely depends on each individual and each skin type. There is no set age to start using them. We recommend starting to use them when you notice that your skin is no longer like it was, and you have softer areas.
What are the most widely used ingredients in firming creams?
Although each product and brand have their own formula, some ingredients are common to most of them, such as elastin, hyaluronic acid or collagen.
There are also other ingredients such as tea or caffeine, which are used for their antioxidant power. Vitamins A, B, C and E are also used for their regenerating, hydrating and antioxidant properties.
