As we said, to fight a loose skin problem you need to do everything as part of a holistic plan. It’s always better to check your cholesterol level because when it slows down, the lipid barrier starts to break up and the skin loses moisture quicker. Your skin needs to stay hydrated in order to become more firm.
Also, pay attention to your cortisol level because it can show how stressed you are. There is evidence that high levels of cortisol can cause a thinning and weakening of the skin.
7. Eat one serving of lean protein a day.
Experts recommend eating 2 servings of fruits, 2 servings of vegetables, and 0.75 g of protein per kilo of body weight per day. A protein portion should fit into the palm of your hand, which is approximately one serving.
8. Practice coffee scrub
Specialists suggest that coffee scrub massages can assist in lymphatic drainage and stretch skin tissue so your skin gets more elastic and improves cellulite appearance. If you combine it with retinol and carnitine, caffeine increases the thickness of the top layer of skin.
Never mix with used coffee grounds for your scrub because these have already been damaged. And be sure that you apply a traditional coffee, not decaf. Scrub 1-2 times a week depending on your skin type.
9. Pay attention to the color of your urine.
Drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. And after using the toilet don’t forget to check the color of your urine. Normally it should be pale yellow throughout the day. If it is dark yellow, then you need to drink more water.
10. Don’t use strict diets.
By torturing yourself with strict diets you won’t be able to get your skin to firm up again. The body needs nutrition, including healthy fats. Experts say that crash diets like only eating carrots and celery for 30 days, or following a tea and toast diet consisting of 800 calories per day, etc can be detrimental for your skin.
