Teenager With Loose Facial Skin

Hello,
I'm an 18 year old girl and I have loose facial skin. It doesn't really show except when I do things like run or jump, my facial skin sort of sags or descends. I've also recently noticed that my lower eyelid (lateral canthus) is starting to droop. Why is this happening to me, what should I do? I'm still young to have loose facial skin.

How did it work out?

Everybody's skin stretches to some extent, and the skin will move if you are upside down, for example, or running and jumping. The amount that a person notices it depends on weight gain and weight loss history, as well as face shape, age, and skin condition. If you truly believe yours droops more than what is normal, you can try an exfoliating treatment a couple times a week which stimulates collagen production and strengthens elasticity. Applying a Q-10 or firming cream afterwards can boost the results. But don't exfoliate any more than a couple times a week.

All the best,
Brittany
