| Hi everybody!I've read almost everything,trying to work out the best remedy for sagging skin but got lost.I need your help!I'm 35,quite good skin,I've been using Lancome and Clarins for two years,the primary effect was great,my skin-brighter,even and firm.The effect gradually decreased and my skin kind of sunk and I've got that sad expression when everybody's asking you 'what's wrong?'Then I've had hyaluronic acid(Juvederm)injected into nasolabial lines and that improved my look,I recommend it for this zone,but still can't find something to plump up my skin.I'd prefer an effective serum or cream,not injections.Is there anybody with a similar problem? |

Welcome to EDS annima. 
You say your skin sunk. Have you lost a considerable amount of weight. Many times weight loss with cause the the face to sag. It is very important that you drink a lot of water. Yes, product can help but what you put inside (nutrition) is crucial.
Before we give you suggestion, what is your skin type? |

Try Elizabeth Grant serums. They are fantastic and will hydrate your skin for 24 hrs. This is what skin needs. Moisture. You don't want dry and wrinkled or crepey looking. |

The best long-lasting hydration I've found is emu oil. Some people don't like to use it because it comes from animals. If not, you might try something with squalene oil in it (from olives not sharks).
There are quite a few threads and mentions of emu oil on EDS so you can search and read for a while! I like to spray my face first with a thermal water like Avene and then use a cream from www.laidinmt.com I prefer creams with a high amount of emu to straight emu oil but both are great!
As you already know, it's good to moisturize from within as well as without. You may want to read the thread (very long) on taking hyaluronic acid supplements internally. Also, do you take an essential fatty acid supplement?
For sinking and sagging: there are some products that temporarily lift but I don't have a specific recommendation. I feel my skin is tighter (but not too tight) after using Jason Beckett Alphaderma CE which has a number of actives in it. You can read more about it here on the Forum. But, you might want to consider facial exercises or electrical stimulation like the Nuface gives.... |

| You can get Dremu oil (a form of emu oil) here on EDS. EDS also carries Cellex-C and AlphaDerma. |

To address sagging I must recommend Janson Beckett's AlphaDerma and Skin Prep. You can order the try me size from EDS to see if you like it. These products helped me greatly.
You might or might not need moisture over AlphaDermaCE. My skin is combination and I am fine using these products solo.
As suggested Emu oil can be used. A few drops under JB products should give you ample hydration. |

| Thanks,khalie,I am doing facial massage with jojoba or wheat germ,but I was told by a professional therapist to do it once a month,perhaps it's too much once a week? |

Thank you bushy! It is hard to remember all the products I have used. Ferox Pure Pulp is amazing for plumping up tired, stressed skin. |
