How to treat or prevent sagging skin?

I am a server at some food chain and as a server, I especially work at frying stations, where my face frequently receives a considerable amount of heat from the fryers. I use Keys Solar Rx sunscreen to maybe lessen the effects of it. My face gets very oily at work so I wash my face with regular soap before bedtime. However, I noticed that over time my forehead was sagging a little bit, I get break outs, and blackheads…overall, my face looks a bit course with uneven skin tone because my nose and forehead looked dry or burnt in some places. Is there any routine that I can do to prevent these? I’m just a 22 yr old student & I hate how I seem to age faster because of this. I suspect that it’s from the fryers because I have a fairly good nutrition. I don’t eat sweets at all. No fried foods. No simple carbs. Just plain complex carbs with a little bit of protein.

I worked long ago doing what you are doing I can tell you sunscreens will not do anything they are designed to prevent UVB and UVA rays from penetrating the skin not “heat”.

The regular soap you are using is probably causing most of your acne and oily issues. Regular soap is a super cleaning agent which cleans so good it strips everything from your face including all the natural oils. So your body makes more oil. When you use the soap again your body make even more oil so it’s not a pretty cycle.

The oil at work and the heat will also open your pores just like working out a lot will do you can take some cleanings cloths to work to wipe your face now and then to remove some of the oil from the fryers but as for a product to protect your face from the heat there is none other than stand back and pull your head back when you are lifting the fryer basket up and dumping the food then replacing the food and dropping the basket in the oil it will help some.

Use a skin care routine daily and right when you get home. Use for oily skin and add a light weight oil free moisturizer to help with dry patches. Use a facial cleanser to deep clean and stop using soap. To reduce pore size and remove blackheads you will have to extract them no other way for blackheads once extracted you can maintain them and tighten pores. I suggest a professional facial to really extract them properly. If this is too expensive then use Biore strips and do the rest yourself by softening them and gently extracting them.

Stick to your routine I think you will find once you get on a daily routine your skin will look brighter and it won’t appear saggy.

Hope this helps.
