Body Laxicity: Causes

More specifically, the following are responsible for the image of laxicity in the body:

The natural aging process which slows the growth rates of collagen and elastin. Aging is one of the factors that cannot be prevented.
Smoking is also included among the damages it causes to health, as it affects the production of elastin, the substance that gives elasticity to the skin, and collagen, which gives the skin its characteristic firmness.
Losing weight, especially heavy weight loss, leads to sagging skin, which is the next big problem that someone who wants to get rid of excess weight has to deal with. Also, women after the pregnancy period face a problem of relaxation especially in the abdomen area.
Exposure to the sun is another factor in skin relaxation, since UV radiation affects the elasticity of the skin.
