Prevent And Tighten Loose Sagging Skin From Weight Loss Avoid Surgery To Repair Loose Skin

flat tummy no loose skin


Loosing weight is a wonderful accomplishment. Weight loss improves your overall health and quality of life. However, you don't want to end up with annoying loose skin after you have worked so hard to arrive at your goal weight. The good news is there are steps you can take during weight loss to avoid sagging skin. Below are a few tips that you may find helpful.


Instructions


1. First, lose weight slowly. Your skin is designed to stretch and to retract as you either gain or lose weight. However, if you lose weight too quickly your skins elasticity can not accommodate such a rapid change, thus leaving you with loose, sagging skin. Try to lose weight at paced level. It is after all more healthy to lose weight slowly and you will have an increased chance of keeping the weight off.








2. Drink a lot of water! At least 8 glasses a day. Water prevents dehydration and adds moisture to the skin tissue making skin more resilient. Resilient skin will bounce back into its rightful place easier.


3. Use Moisturizer morning and night. Moisturiser adds to your skins elasticity as well. Keeping your skin well moisturized will give it an extra boost of "bounce back" so that it can shrink as your body weight decreases.


4. Last but certainly not least, you need to exercise regularly. Exercise at least 30 minutes per day 5 days a week. Exercise builds muscle and muscle acts as a support system for skin. It actually boost your skin and prevents it from sagging. If you want a flat stomach you need strong stomach muscles, if you want to eliminate loose under arm skin you need strong arm muscles and so on. It is worth the effort. You don't want to end up looking like a Sharpe puppy.
