Loose skin after weight loss

Losing weight is something that women can never stop doing, and various ways of losing weight are very popular. For obese women, they will try various weight loss methods, especially those who choose to lose weight through exercise. They should not only stick to it, but also control their diet. Proper diet plus moderate exercise can have a very obvious weight loss effect. However, there is also a worry for successful weight loss, that is, the skin becomes loose after losing weight. What should you do?

Causes of loose skin after weight loss

1. The fibers between cells degenerate over time, causing the skin to lose elasticity.

2. Loss of subcutaneous fat causes the skin to lose support and sag.

3. The muscles supporting the skin relax, causing the skin to relax as well.

4. Other factors such as gravity, genetics, mental stress, exposure to sunlight and smoking also cause the skin structure to change, eventually causing the skin to lose elasticity and become sagging.

What to do if your skin becomes loose after losing weight?

1. Supplementing vitamin C can protect cells from UV damage and neutralize free radicals, help synthesize collagen, and improve skin wrinkles and sagging.

2. By using collagen-supplementing creams, the skin's supporting ability can be significantly enhanced, or eating more foods rich in collagen such as pig's trotters and white fungus can also achieve improvement effects.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing antioxidants, such as carrots, tomatoes, grapes, etc., and drink more red wine and tea, which can protect the collagen in the skin. Avoid eating high-fat foods to prevent the production of free radicals and accelerate aging.

4. Applying some vitamin E oil or essential oil and massaging it can also improve the phenomenon of sagging skin after weight loss.

5. Sticking to aerobic exercise is an effective way to enhance skin elasticity and shrink loose sebum. Sit-ups can effectively help firm the abdominal muscles. You can do sit-ups every day according to your tolerance level, which has a very good effect.

6. To restore skin elasticity in a short period of time, boiled water is the basis! Don't choose carbonated drinks and try to avoid alcohol, because while they provide you with water, they also supply a lot of sugar, which not only increases the burden on your skin, but also provides a lot of calories. Drinking a glass of boiled water every morning can activate the regeneration of skin epidermal cells and accelerate blood circulation. In addition, the daily water intake should not be less than 1000cc. Drinking water before meals can also control appetite and have better results.

7. Baby oil is delicate, easy to penetrate, nutritious and non-greasy, which has all the favorable factors. Carefully apply baby oil on the skin surface before going to bed at night. The epidermis will absorb it quickly and repair skin wrinkles. The dermis will act as a partition, preventing the nutrients in the baby oil from continuing to penetrate and being absorbed by the fat.

8. Refined salt can effectively open pores, remove aging stratum corneum, and promote skin metabolism. The specific method is not difficult: put a small bowl of fine salt in the microwave to heat it slightly, and then carefully apply it on the surface of the skin. In order to achieve the best effect, you can also apply a layer of honey on the salt to make the skin smoother. Wash off after one hour. Fine salt can also act as a scrub. Occasional use can reduce skin wrinkles and make it tighter, but excessive use can make the skin rough. The frequency of wrinkle removal should be controlled within once every two weeks.
