Causes of sagging skin on the hands

The list of reasons due to which sagging skin on the hands is as follows:

1. Skin aging. After 25-27 years, our body begins to work more slowly, and the older a person becomes, the less cells are saturated with oxygen.
2. Lack or absence of physical activity. This does not mean carrying heavy bags - these should be exercises that are performed in the gym or at home, aimed at the muscles of the hands.
3. Excessive UV. With strong exposure to sunlight, the skin becomes flabby and loses elasticity.
4. Dramatic weight loss. As a rule, with a sharp decrease in weight, the skin does not have time to quickly tighten.
5. Excess weight. In people who are full, fat deposits hang down, because their muscle mass is poorly developed.

Important! If you start getting rid of saggy skin on your hands today, then the result will be noticeable after a couple of months. However, the fight against this problem should be approached comprehensively.
