Everybody's happy when thanked to determination and a carefully chosen weight loss program comes to lose the extra pounds. But afterwards it often happens that we have to worry about our skin, because it sags due to significant weight loss.

So we have to fight perseverantly in order to revitalize our skin also. There are lots of disposable tools and beauty products for this. Here are a few of them, together with some reasons of weight loss caused skin problems.

Fatty acids
A weight loss procedure is in fact an attack against the skin. And the more severe the chosen weight loss program is and the more weight we lose the more aggressive effects has our skin to suffer. One of these is the loss of beneficient fatty acids. When we want to lose weight we try to get rid of the unwanted fat. But with this process we lose useful fatty acid as well, which are essential for our skin. These assure tenderness, silkiness and softness to it. In addition Omega 6 essential fatty acids take part not just in the conformation of the skin, but also of the hair and nails.

So if we focus on the wellbeing of our skin we have to keep in mind that these substances compose a useful layer on the skin helping it to maintain it's flexibility and defending it from desiccation. These substances can be found in vegetable oils, like primrose or black-currant-seed oil. If these are not part of our diet we should resettle them or take some nutritional supplements. As talking about skin care it's reccomended to use oily creams, body lotions with natural vegeteble oils. These kind of skin care products usually contain extracts of oily seeds and fruits and are very effective. Due to their skin-friendly components they work off easily in the skin. Their active substances nourish the skin, giving back the starch of it and helping in the complex regeneration of the skin after an intensive weight loss process.

Advice: A three-week, intensive cure with an oily body lotion of the highest concentration level can be beneficial.

Intensive hydration
We should not forget that due to the loss of fatty acids the selfhydrating system of the skin could be distroyed as well. To cure the problem drink at least 2 litres of mineral water every day and choose a body lotion wich has powerful hydrating effects also.

Advice: Hydrating creams work off better if you use them on wet skin. So after taking a shower don't dry your skin completely, but applicate your body lotion on the wet skin.
