BottomSlim | Loose Skin After Giving Birth

Postnatal Belly? Is Abdominoplasty the only choice?

Ju Ann is a mom to 2 lovely young boys and is a highly regarded blogger in Singapore who shares her views on parenting and beauty regularly. After giving birth to her boys in 2013 and 2016, she had a lot of flab and loose skin all over her body that she wanted to get rid of. Though she had lost the post-natal weight, she desperately needed tighten up loose skin that hung over her favourite pair of jeans.  
Chances are, if you’ve had a similar experience to Ju Ann, you will know that your body can do crazy things when you’re pregnant—stretch marks, varicose veins, acne, spider veins on top of weight gain. Most of these problems will disappear after delivery including the excess weight. . Yet, you will find that excess skin still sit stubbornly in the belly, on the hips, or on your backside. Unfortunately, you will need some help dealing with the hanging dermis, aka loose skin.
How does loose skin happen?
Weight gain can be emotionally frustrating for women who just want their bodies to go back to how they were pre-pregnancy. Don’t be surprised but losing weight too quickly can increase the odds of having excess skin after giving birth. The skin is made of elastin and collagen, allowing skin to expand with the growing belly. If the skin has not enough time to regain elasticity, it will sag. Your tummy pudge and stretch marks may not appear sexy now but your body just did an amazing thing by giving life, so go easy on yourself.
I lost weight, now how to firm up loose skin?
1.       Eat Protein
Feed your muscle building activities with healthy proteins and fats. Collagen in protein will help with the recovery and restore the elasticity of skin. Your protein intake should vary by how much exercise you are getting. Protein calculator here.
2.       Drink Water
When rebuilding the skin structure, your body requires you to stay hydrated. Having enough water intake helps the skin have food for recovery.
3.       Essential Oil Rub
Just like how essential oils work wonders on facial skin, many swear by the same principle in dealing with dermis. Rub castor oil mixed with peppermint, grapeseed or lavender oil with lemon juice on problem areas at night to tighten skin. Almond oil can also help with stretch marks.
4.       Skin firming products
Products containing peptides and amino acids when used on loose skin, encourage new collagen production, increases the elasticity of collagen fibers and rebuilds the resilience of collagen structure within the skin.
5.       Massage
This one not only feels good, it requires no effort on your part. A good massage would help drain fatty tissue deposit, and catalyse the firming process .
