Georgia Louise, the seasoned facialist\u00a0behind famous faces\u00a0like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Anna Wintour, swears by this technique to lift and sculpt her clients&#8217; visages. By gently massaging your own face (or doing facial exercises), you stimulate the muscle tissue which improves your skin&#8217;s volume and combats atrophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> While it may sound weird, facial massages feel amazing and you&#8217;ll get even more enjoyment out of it knowing that it&#8217;s refining your pores and plumping your skin.

As Brendan Camp explains, &#8220;The sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays cause damage to structural proteins in the skin, like collagen and elastin. These proteins normally provide firmness and rigidity to the skin. Less collagen and elastin are associated with features of aging skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and less buoyant skin.&#8221; Of course, if you can&#8217;t avoid the sun, then you&#8217;ll want to make sure to slather on the SPF. &#8220;Sunscreen is extremely important to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. Sunscreen aids in preventing sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer. During the summer months, it is important to reapply sunscreen often, every 2 hours or so,&#8221; says Shari Sperling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Eat Collagen-Boosting Foods <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Certain foods are known for stimulating collagen production. Pack your diet with a healthy balance of nutritious superfoods\u00a0like dark leafy greens, amino acid-rich eggs, avocado, and even garlic. Look for foods abundant in vitamins C and E and antioxidants. There are even collagen-boosting powders you can add to your food or drink of choice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_4-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">04<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exfoliate Your Skin <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Exfoliating your skin doesn&#8217;t only leave it smooth and soft, but it can also help stimulate collagen production, which then turns into firmer, more plump skin. &#8220;Removing dead skin cells from the surface helps reveal brighter, more radiant skin and is also thought to encourage the production of collagen, which can contribute to more youthful looking skin,&#8221; Camp says.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_5-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">05<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Try a Skin-Plumping Mask <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Once you&#8217;ve tackled all you can from the inside, treat your tired skin from the outside. You can whip up a natural skin-plumping mask\u00a0at home by mixing together one egg with two tablespoons of rosewater and two tablespoons of glycerin. Adding glycerin to the mask serves as a natural humectant (a natural way to hydrate skin) to help with visible skin plumping. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and then rinse with water.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_6-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">06<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Get a Good Night&#8217;s Sleep <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> One of the best things you can do for your skin is to prioritize a good night&#8217;s sleep. As Sperling explains, &#8220;Sleep is a restorative process and is necessary for optimal health. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system and impact hormone regulation.&#8221; Camp adds that not getting enough sleep can not only impact our overall health, but the health of our skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_7-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">07<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Use Proven Ingredeints <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Incorporating good-for-your-skin ingredients\u2014hydrating hyaluronic acid, anti-aging retinol, and plumping collagen\u2014into your routine will bring you one step closer to a healthier complexion. Additionally, you should be exfoliating at least once a week to shed off any buildup (dirt, sebum, dead skin cells, etc.). Not only will this improve dullness, but it will also allow product ingredients to better absorb into the skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exercise Regularly <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We don&#8217;t need to tell you that exercise is good for you (okay, we just did). Getting your heart rate up will increase blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the organs\u2014skin included\u2014resulting in a healthy post-workout flush.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Also, exercise is a great outlet to let go of stress and even set the stage for a good night&#8217;s sleep. Since both stress and lack of sleep can have adverse effects on the skin, addressing these aggravators can bring you plumper skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-outro_1-0\" class=\"comp article-outro mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">How do you know if you have tired skin?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>If you notice that your eyes are a bit puffy or dark, your skin is looking dull, and the lines on your face are more prominent, then you&#8217;re likely dealing with tired skin that needs a little TLC.

Georgia Louise, the seasoned facialist\u00a0behind famous faces\u00a0like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Anna Wintour, swears by this technique to lift and sculpt her clients&#8217; visages. By gently massaging your own face (or doing facial exercises), you stimulate the muscle tissue which improves your skin&#8217;s volume and combats atrophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> While it may sound weird, facial massages feel amazing and you&#8217;ll get even more enjoyment out of it knowing that it&#8217;s refining your pores and plumping your skin. Massaging regularly keeps everything engaged and tightened, like a natural face-lift.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--tips beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tips\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Byrdie Tip<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>Aside from using your fingers, you can also use a jade roller or a gua sha stone to massage your skin.

As Brendan Camp explains, &#8220;The sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays cause damage to structural proteins in the skin, like collagen and elastin. These proteins normally provide firmness and rigidity to the skin. Less collagen and elastin are associated with features of aging skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and less buoyant skin.&#8221; Of course, if you can&#8217;t avoid the sun, then you&#8217;ll want to make sure to slather on the SPF. &#8220;Sunscreen is extremely important to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. Sunscreen aids in preventing sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer. During the summer months, it is important to reapply sunscreen often, every 2 hours or so,&#8221; says Shari Sperling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Eat Collagen-Boosting Foods <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Certain foods are known for stimulating collagen production. Pack your diet with a healthy balance of nutritious superfoods\u00a0like dark leafy greens, amino acid-rich eggs, avocado, and even garlic. Look for foods abundant in vitamins C and E and antioxidants. There are even collagen-boosting powders you can add to your food or drink of choice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_4-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">04<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exfoliate Your Skin <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Exfoliating your skin doesn&#8217;t only leave it smooth and soft, but it can also help stimulate collagen production, which then turns into firmer, more plump skin. &#8220;Removing dead skin cells from the surface helps reveal brighter, more radiant skin and is also thought to encourage the production of collagen, which can contribute to more youthful looking skin,&#8221; Camp says.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_5-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">05<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Try a Skin-Plumping Mask <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Once you&#8217;ve tackled all you can from the inside, treat your tired skin from the outside. You can whip up a natural skin-plumping mask\u00a0at home by mixing together one egg with two tablespoons of rosewater and two tablespoons of glycerin. Adding glycerin to the mask serves as a natural humectant (a natural way to hydrate skin) to help with visible skin plumping. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and then rinse with water.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_6-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">06<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Get a Good Night&#8217;s Sleep <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> One of the best things you can do for your skin is to prioritize a good night&#8217;s sleep. As Sperling explains, &#8220;Sleep is a restorative process and is necessary for optimal health. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system and impact hormone regulation.&#8221; Camp adds that not getting enough sleep can not only impact our overall health, but the health of our skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_7-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">07<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Use Proven Ingredeints <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Incorporating good-for-your-skin ingredients\u2014hydrating hyaluronic acid, anti-aging retinol, and plumping collagen\u2014into your routine will bring you one step closer to a healthier complexion. Additionally, you should be exfoliating at least once a week to shed off any buildup (dirt, sebum, dead skin cells, etc.). Not only will this improve dullness, but it will also allow product ingredients to better absorb into the skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exercise Regularly <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We don&#8217;t need to tell you that exercise is good for you (okay, we just did).

Since both stress and lack of sleep can have adverse effects on the skin, addressing these aggravators can bring you plumper skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-outro_1-0\" class=\"comp article-outro mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">How do you know if you have tired skin?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>If you notice that your eyes are a bit puffy or dark, your skin is looking dull, and the lines on your face are more prominent, then you&#8217;re likely dealing with tired skin that needs a little TLC.

As Brendan Camp explains, &#8220;The sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays cause damage to structural proteins in the skin, like collagen and elastin. These proteins normally provide firmness and rigidity to the skin. Less collagen and elastin are associated with features of aging skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and less buoyant skin.&#8221; Of course, if you can&#8217;t avoid the sun, then you&#8217;ll want to make sure to slather on the SPF. &#8220;Sunscreen is extremely important to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. Sunscreen aids in preventing sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer. During the summer months, it is important to reapply sunscreen often, every 2 hours or so,&#8221; says Shari Sperling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Eat Collagen-Boosting Foods <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Certain foods are known for stimulating collagen production. Pack your diet with a healthy balance of nutritious superfoods\u00a0like dark leafy greens, amino acid-rich eggs, avocado, and even garlic. Look for foods abundant in vitamins C and E and antioxidants. There are even collagen-boosting powders you can add to your food or drink of choice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_4-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">04<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exfoliate Your Skin <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Exfoliating your skin doesn&#8217;t only leave it smooth and soft, but it can also help stimulate collagen production, which then turns into firmer, more plump skin. &#8220;Removing dead skin cells from the surface helps reveal brighter, more radiant skin and is also thought to encourage the production of collagen, which can contribute to more youthful looking skin,&#8221; Camp says.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_5-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">05<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Try a Skin-Plumping Mask <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Once you&#8217;ve tackled all you can from the inside, treat your tired skin from the outside. You can whip up a natural skin-plumping mask\u00a0at home by mixing together one egg with two tablespoons of rosewater and two tablespoons of glycerin. Adding glycerin to the mask serves as a natural humectant (a natural way to hydrate skin) to help with visible skin plumping. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and then rinse with water.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_6-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">06<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Get a Good Night&#8217;s Sleep <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> One of the best things you can do for your skin is to prioritize a good night&#8217;s sleep. As Sperling explains, &#8220;Sleep is a restorative process and is necessary for optimal health. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system and impact hormone regulation.&#8221; Camp adds that not getting enough sleep can not only impact our overall health, but the health of our skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_7-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">07<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Use Proven Ingredeints <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Incorporating good-for-your-skin ingredients\u2014hydrating hyaluronic acid, anti-aging retinol, and plumping collagen\u2014into your routine will bring you one step closer to a healthier complexion. Additionally, you should be exfoliating at least once a week to shed off any buildup (dirt, sebum, dead skin cells, etc.). Not only will this improve dullness, but it will also allow product ingredients to better absorb into the skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exercise Regularly <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We don&#8217;t need to tell you that exercise is good for you (okay, we just did).

Since both stress and lack of sleep can have adverse effects on the skin, addressing these aggravators can bring you plumper skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-outro_1-0\" class=\"comp article-outro mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">How do you know if you have tired skin?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>If you notice that your eyes are a bit puffy or dark, your skin is looking dull, and the lines on your face are more prominent, then you&#8217;re likely dealing with tired skin that needs a little TLC.

There are even collagen-boosting powders you can add to your food or drink of choice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_4-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">04<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_4-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exfoliate Your Skin <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Exfoliating your skin doesn&#8217;t only leave it smooth and soft, but it can also help stimulate collagen production, which then turns into firmer, more plump skin. &#8220;Removing dead skin cells from the surface helps reveal brighter, more radiant skin and is also thought to encourage the production of collagen, which can contribute to more youthful looking skin,&#8221; Camp says.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_5-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">05<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_5-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Try a Skin-Plumping Mask <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Once you&#8217;ve tackled all you can from the inside, treat your tired skin from the outside. You can whip up a natural skin-plumping mask\u00a0at home by mixing together one egg with two tablespoons of rosewater and two tablespoons of glycerin. Adding glycerin to the mask serves as a natural humectant (a natural way to hydrate skin) to help with visible skin plumping. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and then rinse with water.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_6-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">06<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_6-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Get a Good Night&#8217;s Sleep <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> One of the best things you can do for your skin is to prioritize a good night&#8217;s sleep. As Sperling explains, &#8220;Sleep is a restorative process and is necessary for optimal health. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system and impact hormone regulation.&#8221; Camp adds that not getting enough sleep can not only impact our overall health, but the health of our skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_7-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">07<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Use Proven Ingredeints <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Incorporating good-for-your-skin ingredients\u2014hydrating hyaluronic acid, anti-aging retinol, and plumping collagen\u2014into your routine will bring you one step closer to a healthier complexion. Additionally, you should be exfoliating at least once a week to shed off any buildup (dirt, sebum, dead skin cells, etc.). Not only will this improve dullness, but it will also allow product ingredients to better absorb into the skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 08<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Exercise Regularly <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We don&#8217;t need to tell you that exercise is good for you (okay, we just did). Getting your heart rate up will increase blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the organs\u2014skin included\u2014resulting in a healthy post-workout flush.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Also, exercise is a great outlet to let go of stress and even set the stage for a good night&#8217;s sleep. Since both stress and lack of sleep can have adverse effects on the skin, addressing these aggravators can bring you plumper skin.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/plump-skin-naturally-11902469&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wqOorbO5JUm0aHmVPFR3JDR28mU=\/1500&#215;0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()\/plump-skin-3-112789a3690a4b7f86a6e45d1163063f.jpg&#8221;] 8 Ways to Plump Skin Without Injectables, According to Dermatologists It works.
