Ways to tighten skin (so i've read)

Feb 28, 2010

I have been reading about different ways to tighten skin.  Here is what i have found:

 
- Nourish your skin and encourage it's elasticity. Exfoliate your skin daily to encourage removal of dead skin cells. Doing this each day will stimulate your skin's circulation which should help in tightening skin up.

 - Treat yourself to a hot hour-long bath once or twice a week. While the bath is being drawn, add 1/2lb of pure sea salt to the water and allow it to dissolve. Besides relaxing your body and muscles, it will draw toxins out of your skin and will improve your overall skin tone.

- Aloe vera extract, soy protein and yeast extract can improve your skin's elasticity by increasing your body's production of elastin and collagen. It not only tightens your skin but your skin's natural defenses as well.

- Eating raw food such as cucumber, tomato, olives and coconut can mark an improvement in your skin's elasticity.

- Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in our body's tissues. It depletes over time, so it's worth supplementing your diet with some. It is critical for muscle growth, so if you're replacing pounds of fat with muscle, it's definitely worth taking. Smokers tend to be lacking this nutrient. It needs magnesium to synthesize, so ensure you're taking magnesium daily to reap its benefits.

- Moisturizer will add up to seventy percent of moisturizer to your skin. When you are losing weight, it is great to use a moisturizer as it will help to maintain that elasticity as your body is shrinking. Cover your body in heavy moisturizer each night before you go to bed. When you apply the moisturizer to your body at night, you may want to wear long sleeves and long PJ's
in order to make sure it does not rub off on your sheets. This will also help to hold that moisture in as you sleep at night.

- When you use a body scrub or loofah at least twice a day, you will be helping to tighten up that lose skin that is caused by weight loss.

- You may not believe this, but massaging the skin helps to build that elasticity back up. You should use mustard oil in order to get the best results. That daily massage will also help your muscles develop. In mustard oil, you will find that there are many medicinal properties in it that will help you to have healthy and glowing skin. (You can also also soak in Mustard Bath for better results.)

- The best asana for you to do in order to tone up that skin is called Bhujang Asana. Lay down flat on your stomach and raise your face up off of the ground as much as you can.

- Applying collagen cream to your stomach area three times a day will help out. You should give the collagen moisture enough time to soak into your skin
