How can I tighten my loose skin naturally?

People who lose their body weight, in the process. As we age, the moisture and elasticity of our skin deteriorate, resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. Women face this problem mostly after their pregnancy. They’re in with the loose skin and they get stretch marks too.

To keep our skin young for a long time, we need to keep our eating habits and lifestyle on the positive side and systematic. Still, a hectic lifestyle, lack of better sleep, low nutrients in the body, and a lot of stress are some of the reasons for wrinkles and signs of aging right after the age of 25.

Common domestic misbehaviors such as: –

Natural Remedies for Loose Skin

Let’s jump right in and talk about some of the best natural remedies for firming and tightening your loose skin. One of the great natural remedies is Essential Oil. Using essential oil on a regular base has proven to be one of the best solutions for tightening loose skin.

Geranium Oil

This essential oil is therapeutic for delivering kidney. It’s also been proven to cater to the following:

• Get Rid of Skin Inflammation
• Hydrate The Skin
• Firms and Tighten Up the Skin

How to Use It:

Mix five (5) drops of geranium oil with 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil and rub it on your skin once or twice a day.

Frankincense Oil

Since prehistoric times, frankincense oil has been the most frequently mentioned essential oil in the Bible. It’s been used for beauty treatment for thousands of years and it contains a compound combining which is an anti-inflammatory property. Frankincense oil helps with skin tone.

If somebody has age spots or sun-damaged skin, frankincense oil can naturally heal that skin and even out that skin tone and can also help firm the skin because of the compound-like properties found in this essential oil. Frankincense oil can be used anywhere the skin is saggy, including the abdomen, jowls, or under the eye.

 

How to Use It:

Mix six (6) drops of frankincense oil with one (1) tablespoon of unscented oil (jojoba oil) and apply directly on that saggy area of your body.

 

CAUTION:

This combination has blood-thinning effects. So, I recommend that you start with some patches as a test and wait to see how they react before proceeding with full use.

Argan Oil

My favorite essential oil to use overall for the skin is Argan Oil. This oil has been used throughout history to reduce bruising. If you are somebody who bruises easily or gets some of those black or blue spots, argan oil reduces inflammation and improves circulation to those areas as well. Argan oil is one of the number one carrier oils used in the mixture with essential oil for anti-aging in the skin.

 

How to Use It:

Mix a few drops of argan oil with frankincense, myrrh, and geranium to improve skin tone.

 

CAUTION:

Frankincense has blood-thinning effects. Do not use it during pregnancy. Myrrh can also lower blood sugar levels. So, it should be diluted for topical use.

Hyaluronic Acid

This is a unique compound that is traditionally found in bone broth and collagen products. You can get it from a bone broth powder and add to your smoothie and get it by drinking. But naturally, the number one way to get it on your skin is by doing a hyaluronic acid treatment on your skin which is a great way to tone up your skin on a regular base.

 

It also helps to:

• Lubricate and clear substances produced naturally by the body
• Retain collagen
• Increases moisture
• Provides elasticity and flexibility

Optional Sources of Hyaluronic Acid

• Injections (Not too advisable)
• Creams
• Serums
• Lotions
• Prescriptions
• The commercial formulation is often derived from bacteria/bird protein

 

Products containing hyaluronic acid decrease the appearance of wrinkles and reduce skin sagging within 30 days of consistent use. (Journal of cosmetic dermatology)

CAUTION:

Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding. People with allergies to eggs/feathers should also avoid them if they use medications that affect blood clotting.

 

Collagen Promoting Foods

As you age, your body produces less collagen. Collagen is actually what keeps your skin firm, toned, and tight. So, to slow that aging progression, you have to consume foods that are rich in collagen.

 

Collagen Boosting Foods

• Bone Broth
• Wild-caught salmon (Preferably the skin)
• Egg yolk
• Sardine

Supplements

 

Collagen Supplement

I recommend a collagen supplement. You can get collagen supplements from multiple sources, like:

• Chicken
• Fish
• Turkey

Collagen is the best source, but putting bone broth powder in a smoothie every day is also a good option.

Qualities:

• One of the best natural skin remedies available around
• The highest percentage of amino acid

 

Double-blind placebo-controlled studies carried out proved that women at age 35 to 50 took 2.5 to 5 grams of collagen hydrolysate daily for 8 weeks and the result was just so fantastic.

 

It helped in their:

• Skin elasticity
• Skin moisture
• Dryness
• Skin roughness

 

I have a relative who started using a multi-collagen protein supplement along with a bone broth supplement, and she told me that in just two (2) weeks, she noticed a tremendous improvement in her skin, hair, and nails.

Astaxanthin

This one is also a natural compound found in, sea wheat, wild-caught salmon, fruits, veggies, and leafy greens. A Japanese study found that taking astaxanthin orally and topically for three (3) weeks improved skin texture and elasticity.

Lift Weight

We have talked about foods and supplements but there is also one most important factor I want us to talk about and this is Lifting Weights. Lifting weight helps increase muscle mass which is something that helps reduce saggy skin, cellulite, and premature wrinkles.

I understand that most women are afraid that lifting weights will make them bulky, but the truth is that most women do not have enough testosterone in their bodies to increase muscle mass and bulkiness.

If anything, they are just going to look very toned, lined, and firm. And it is the number one thing besides cardio that women should be doing as they age not just to have beautiful and amazing tight skin, but also for the health of their bones to prevent asthma pyrosis and overall balance hormones.

You know, lifting weights supports hormone production in the body. Lifting weights for 20 to 30 minutes twice a week will help your body tremendously in reducing loose and saggy skin.

Dry Brushing

Dry brushing exfoliates the skin. It helps to detoxify and stimulate the skin. It can also reduce cellulite for some time due to the weak collagen structure.

How To Brush:

You start from the bottom of your feet in a sweeping motion towards the head. Brush each area several times and overlapping and as you go, make sure you miss no spot.

CAUTION: 

Don’t brush away from the heart. It could cause vessel rupture and varicose veins.

Stop Smoking

This is a no-brainer. Yeah. You do not need anyone to tell you that smoking will make you age faster. Smoking makes your skin look 9 years older than your biological age. Nicotine-related sleep loss gives bags under the eyes. Smoking accumulates more mid-section visceral fat than non-smokers. Black pepper essential oil is used to naturally curb cigarette cravings.

How Long Does Loose Skin Take To Tighten?

It depends on certain factors beyond our control:

• The age of the skin – Skin that is older shrinks significantly more slowly.
• Your level of hydration – The skin will shrink more slowly when dehydrated.
• Sleep quality – Better is more.
• How the skin is regularly moisturized – Better is more.

 

Here is how it works:

• It could take months for a 20-year-skin old to age.
• Years may pass before a 50+-year-old person’s skin begins to tighten.
• An elderly person’s skin may never thin out.

How To Tighten Skin Naturally – DIY Remedies

There are excellent homemade remedies that not only will it fix this loose skin, but will also make it look young again whether it’s face or body. These homemade remedies will tighten that skin and make it look great and beautiful again very effectively.

 

Skin Tightening Serum

The first serum can be used on both the face and body. For the recipe of this homemade anti-aging serum, we will need:

• Rice
• Potato
• Lemon
• Cucumber

 

Things rich in starch like rice banana potato wheat sweet potato and oats work best for skin-tightening. Rice does not only tighten the skin but also makes the skin smooth and makes it glow too. It contains vitamin B which helps increase the new cell production of the skin and keeps the skin young for a long time. For the recipe for this homemade serum:

First, boil 1 cup of rice

After that, strain the rice and separate the water and make sure that the quantity of the water should be enough to give us a cup:

• Then grate 1 potato and 1 cucumber
• Strain them to remove their juice
• Add potato juice to rice water followed by cucumber juice
• Add 3 tbsp lemon juice and mix all these ingredients
• Transfer this liquid to a glass bottle or a plastic spray bottle

 

Then this remedy will be ready. The potato and cucumber juice helps tighten the skin pores and this process helps to loose skin to tighten. This not only removes the wrinkles from the face and body but also removes spots, scars, and stretch marks from the skin.

This homemade serum can be applied to the face and body every night before going to bed with the help of a cotton ball. After regular use, you will start to feel the tightening effect on the skin.

The wrinkles will cure and the skin will get a natural glow. Also, it’s very important to keep the serum in the refrigerator right after it’s made. If you plan on using this homemade serum for an extended period, you can add 2 vitamin E capsules of oil to it.

If you want to use the serum for 1 month, then it can be stored in the form of ice in a nice tray also and whenever you have to use it, you can massage affected areas with this ice cube.

Skin Tightening Paste

Let’s take a look at the second remedy and for this one, we will need:

• Gum tragacanthin
• Egg white

 

Tragacanthin is very beneficial for our health and energy, and it also has benefits for the skin. It’s rich in anti-aging properties that remove fine lines and tighten loose skin. This gum is a hundred percent natural, removed from trees which is the reason why with its first use, we can see the difference on the skin.

 

For the recipe:

• Take 20 grams or 2 tbsp gum tragacanthin
• Put it in 200ml water overnight, the next morning it will have turned into a white gel similar to ice
• Strain this gel and remove all the excess water from it
• Then add one egg white to it
• Grind it in a blender to make it paste

 

This remedy will be ready. Apply on those parts of the body where you have loose skin and leave it for 20 minutes, then wash it off with regular water. Right after washing the area, you will start feeling the tightness on the skin.

Apply Aloe Vera gel or any moisturizer to the skin after washing it. The reason we used egg white for the remedy is that it has immediate effects on the skin, and using this remedy regularly helps tighten the skin and also removes wrinkles.

If you use the serum and gel regularly for one week, then you will get amazing results but when you want to make some changes in the skin or body, then it’s important to give the needed nutrients to the skin not only externally but internally as well.

So, our skin can tighten internally as well. If your body lacks the important nutrients for the skin, then even after trying different external remedies, the results will not be fast.

How To Tighten Skin After Weight Loss Naturally

The length of time the skin was stretched, the age of the person handling the skin, a person’s genetic capacity for recovery, and a few other factors can have an impact on skin elasticity.

 

Step #1

• Reducing weight quickly.
• You don’t have to lose weight so quickly that your skin doesn’t have time to respond.
• (How awful, who wouldn’t like to drop pounds quickly?)

This has an impact, despite how alluring it may be. Strive to limit weight loss to 2 pounds per week.

Step #2

• Hydration – Your body should have a favorable environment enabling your skin to recuperate and adjust by drinking enough water.

Step #3

• Nutrients – This is one crucial suggestion in my opinion.

What we ate over the past three months has a significant impact on the health of our skin. The skin has an extremely difficult time trying to recover if we are eating junk food. Your skin benefits greatly from a diet high in vitamin C, protein, and healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, and collagen.

Step #4

• Maintaining a sufficient level of leanness to encourage skin firming. Skin elasticity is adversely affected by yo-yo dieting. The skin loses suppleness if it is repeatedly stretched.

Step #5

• Boost your muscle mass. One option to improve the appearance now that your skin is loose is to add some muscle to fill the skin. More than tightening it, it is strengthening the base underlying. It will therefore require less overall “tightening” to be achieved.

Step #6

• Moisturizer – Keeping the skin hydrated MAY enhance the healing process as a whole.

 

Exercises To Tighten Loose Skin

As you struggle to tighten your skin after, maybe, childbirth or weight loss, it is ideal to incorporate exercises into your struggle. The most common skin-tightening exercises include the following:

• Sumo Squats – Sumo squats are good for the muscles in your legs. The hamstrings, hip flexors, quadriceps, glutes, calves, and hip adductors are all worked out.
• Around The World Lunges – Around the world lunges are a combination of 3 separate lunge exercises. It targets the muscles in your legs.
• Resistance with a Loop Band Exercises – Using a loop (or tiny) band to add tension or resistance during this specific workout works more muscles and boosts strength.

Final Words

Although loose skin might be an issue, there are many strategies to minimize or lessen it. A major contributor to the skin’s suppleness is collagen. One method to lessen loose skin is to increase your body’s production of collagen.

Skin can be tightened using laser resurfacing, usually more effectively than with any other method. Moreover, it might lessen age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles on the skin. The trade-off is that it necessitates recovery time and carries a higher risk of adverse effects, like scarring.
