Unavoidable: Other than wearing supportive garments, it is unlikely that you can do anything to improve skin elasticity beyond what your genetics have in store for you. Excesses with tobacco use or sun exposure and repeated weight fluctuations may cause diminished skin elasticity.

Unfortunately: There is no absolute way to prevent this. Strength training with weights will tone the underlying muscles and help the arms look better. There are also some rf machines (venus freeze, velashape, exilis), that may help with some mild tightening effects.
