How to Tighten Up Skin

Tighten Your Skin for Good

As you age, you will notice the skin on your face is becoming more droopy, saggy and wrinkly. Your pores may appear bigger than usual and no amount of foundation or powder will cover your flaws. Fortunately, there are a few ways that you can tighten up your skin at home without seeing a dermatologist or paying for any expensive over-the-counter products. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed here, do not follow this regimen and see a dermatologist instead.

Things You'll Need

• Oil-free acne cleanser
• Cotton ball
• Oil-free toner
• Egg
• Paper towel or pastry brush
• Clay mask
• Oil-free moisturizer

Instructions

1. Wash your face twice daily with an oil-free acne cleanser like Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser. You can purchase an oil-free acne cleanser at your local drugstore. Scrub your face gently with your fingers and work the cleanser into a lather for at least one minute. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

2. Apply an oil-free facial toner twice daily with a cotton ball. You can purchase toner, like CamoCare Chamomile Oil-Free Toner at your local drugstore or beauty supply store. Drench the cotton ball in toner and let it dry completely.

3. Apply an egg mask to your face. Separate out the whites of two eggs and beat the whites with a fork. Brush the egg onto your face with a paper towel or pastry brush and let dry for approximately ten minutes. Rinse the egg off with warm water.

4. Apply an oil-free clay mask to your skin. You can purchase a clay mask at your local drugstore or cosmetics store, like Sephora. On damp skin, apply a thick coating of a mask like Biore Pore Perfect Shine Control with your fingers. Allow to dry for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mask is dry to the touch. Scrub the mask off with a washcloth and rinse thoroughly.

5. Slather your face with an oil-free moisturizer like Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, which you can purchase at your local drugstore. Massage the moisturizer into your skin thoroughly twice a day.

Tips & Warnings

• Repeat the egg mask and the clay mask once a week.

• If you experience hives or a rash from any of the steps in this regimen, discontinue use immediately and see a doctor.
