Self skin tightening
After months of digging, I've found a few things you can do to keep your skin firm and full of elasticity while you are transitioning from working out. You know what I mean. Stretchmarks, most people can live with, and those who can't use shea and coconut butters.
Eat loads of raw, uncooked cruciferous vegetables.
Take vegan Borage oil supplements
Moisturize with Extra Virgin coconut oils
Essential Oil of peppermint - rub down with it.
Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily.
Muscle training emphasis instead of relying so heavily on cardio.
These methods combined will result in your skin thanking you later.
Remember, the loose skin can also be a result of losing too much weight too quickly, as evidenced in Extreme Makeover weight loss edition. Participants lose well over 100 pounds in a year and "need" skin surgery. There would be no need for it if
the weight loss were gradual, and the person was supplementing properly. I've seen a fitness model who lost 90 pounds in a year and she didn't get the surgery.
All the best to the Best!
