Firm and sculpt your silhouette. The skin on the body is different from the one on the face: its epidermis is less well protected against dehydration and is subject to the effects of various hormonal changes throughout its life. Its firmness depends mainly on the quality of the elastin and collagen fibres supporting it. This is particularly true of the chest area, as the skin is the only thing supporting the breast, neck and shoulders. Over time, skin becomes less supple, less elastic and less toned. Repeated diets, excessive exposure to the sun and pregnancies all play a role in accelerating the loss of firmness. |
