Tested for you: Goda’s “Silk Body Oil” from Instagram

The Silk Body Oil is said to be a true miracle product, if the manufacturer is to be believed. It promises to firm up sagging skin and aims to prove it with before-and-after photos. But pictures are patient and can be edited… The reason why the skin looks wrinkled and creased is then explained as follows: “This is mainly caused by the breakdown of structural proteins, moisture loss, and external factors that make the skin thinner and less elastic. Its texture is reminiscent of fine crepe paper or parchment.” These are facts. The main causes of the wrinkled appearance are also correct. Namely: Breakdown of collagen and elastin: As we age (starting around age 25–30), the body produces less collagen (which provides firmness) and elastin (which provides elasticity). The fibers in the connective tissue break down, leading to a loss of firmness and structure. UV radiation (photoaging): Excessive sun exposure is a major factor. It causes massive damage to the connective tissue by releasing enzymes that destroy collagen fibers. Dehydration: Crepey skin is often extremely dry skin. The loss of hyaluronic acid and fat tissue in the subcutaneous layer causes the skin to “sag” and fine lines to form. Hormonal changes: Especially during menopause, declining estrogen and progesterone levels lead to thinner skin and reduced moisture retention. Lifestyle: Smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, stress, and an unhealthy diet accelerate skin aging. Weight loss: If the skin no longer has enough elasticity to adapt after rapid weight loss, it can sag and become wrinkled. Goda Silk Body Oil Women is supposed to fix all of that.
