Expert Advice on How to Tighten Skin (Face, Neck & Body)

Loose skin: it’s one of the most tell-tale signs of aging. From the underarms to the neck and even to the eyelids, time and gravity are to blame for sagging skin. That’s why we talked with two leading experts to learn how to tighten skin through prevention and treatments so that you can boast those youthful contours for even longer.

How to Tighten Skin on Your Face 

Option #1: Use SPF and Collagen-Boosting Creams

Across the board, experts agree creams are the best place to start. “Prevention is the key to appear your best,” says board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Houtan Chaboki. “I like the fragrance-free sunscreens with mineral UV protection such as zinc or titanium oxide and with minimum SPF 30 for daily use,” adding to lather up even on cloudy days.

But if less-than-your-best skin laxity is giving away your age, shoot for creams that target wrinkles, notes Dr. Bobby Buka, dermatologist and contributing Founder & Chief Science Officer of the First Aid Beauty skin care line. “I recommend First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream to help firm up loose skin and reduce fine lines or wrinkles. It uses an advanced blend of peptides to boost collagen and reverse visible signs of premature aging.” Dr. Buka also recommends the First Aid Beauty’s Facial Radiance Polish with bark extracts, which prevent buildup of toxins and hydrocarbons on the skin.

Option #2: Get a Facelift

“Surgery is still the gold standard for tightening facial skin with a facelift, but it does require weeks of downtime and comes with some higher risks,” explains Dr. Buka. And with a price tag of an average $7,048, it’s the most costly but also the only truly long-lasting option. Because nonsurgical treatments can’t achieve the same results as this permanent option can, facelifts are for those looking for the optimal outcome; although, Dr. Buka adds it is recommended only after all other nonsurgical options have been taken.
