As we age, it is natural for facial sagging to occur around the chin and jawline. Jowls give the appearance that the normal jawline position has dropped and definition of the face is lost. It is not necessarily a sign of being overweight and does not indicate underlying health problems. A number of other factors can contribute to having jowls. Both sun-damage and smoking can accelerate the ageing process, resulting in a loss of the skin’s elasticity and collagen.
- The appearance of jowls can be naturally helped by taking these small preventive measures:
- Protect your skin against damage from the sun by applying an SPF daily
- Don’t smoke
- Use anti-ageing skincare products which include clinically proven peptides to stimulate the natural collagen production within the skin, improving firmness and reducing lines and wrinkles
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle and a well-balanced diet
- Seek advice from a dermatologist about professional skin treatments designed to target jowls.
