TIPS FOR GETTING RID OF LOOSE SKIN AFTER WEIGHT LOSS

TIPS FOR GETTING RID OF LOOSE SKIN AFTER WEIGHT LOSS

Did you recently have a baby or lose a lot of weight? You’re probably dealing with some loose skin that isn’t going away with your regular exercise routine.

Over time your skin elasticity will return and some of that skin will tighten up naturally, but below I share some tips for speeding up the process!

1. FIRST, LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BODY

Reaching your goal weight is a big accomplishment, and having loose skin shouldnt detract from that. Consider everything that you can do that you couldnt before, and start engaging in activities that make you feel good about your new body shape.

If theres an exercise program youve always wanted to try or a fitness class you were never confident enough to attend, go for it. Get outside and go for a jog, play with your kids or take the dog for a long walk around the neighborhood.

Moving more will improve your sense of self-assurance and help you to realize that health is the most important part of your weight loss journey.

2. TREAT YOURSELF RIGHT

The same healthy habits that helped you lose weight can also improve the health of your skin. Continue eating a diet that contains foods like leafy greens, fresh fruits, whole grains, beans and raw nuts. The nutrients contained in these foods nourish your whole body, including your skin, so that you continue to look and feel better.

Drink plenty of water to support hydration, and avoid excessive sun exposure. When caring for your skin, choose mild soaps and keep your skin hydrated and smoothusing Gel-V. The natural ingredients in Gel-Vsupport the contouring of sagging skin, enhancing your overall appearance – especially your stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks and other problem areas!

3. GIVE IT TIME

Although skin is naturally elastic, it needs time to recover from being stretched out during weight gain and loss.This can take months or even years.

You can speed up your progress by using Gel-V in combination with the V-Belt if you really want to tighten up quickly! The V-Belt provides physical reinforcement for your stomach through flex-fit compression technology while simultaneously promoting restoration of the skin’s elasticity.

When you use the V-Belt your loose skin and waistline is visibly reduced helping you to achieve an hourglass shape faster than if you used diet and exercise alone!

4. AVOID DANGEROUS PROCEDURES

You may be tempted to seek surgery to get rid of your loose skin. Tummy tucks and body lifts offer immediate changes, but they are also very expensive and pose a great deal of risk thats rarely worth the cosmetic payoff. Since plastic surgerydoesn’t improve your health in any way, its best to avoid italtogether.

You shouldnt let the possibility of loose skin deter you from pursing a weight loss program combined with waist training with the V-Belt. Remember that, no matter what your skin looks like, youll be healthier overall without the excess pounds. Stick with good diet and lifestyle habits to support continued wellness, and enjoy the things that your body can do as you get closer to your goal weight.
