Weight loss and changes to the body
Weight loss affects the body in more ways than the bathroom scale is able to tell. Facial skin and hair are the two most common aspects of the body to show some of the additional effects of weight loss. Regardless of the amount of weight lost, the facial skin losing tone and body are most readily apparent on most people. With the improvements in cosmetic and non-intrusive methods of skin and hair regeneration and restoration these side effects can easily be dealt with.
The cosmetic treatments that all who have been through weight loss for whatever reason should consider important are:
Facial masks and moisturizing
As you lose weight the body’s water levels drop as well, and this can easily adversely affect the moisture levels in the skin. Depending on how much weight you have lost, the reduction in fat under the skin may lead to a lot of saggy skin and not just on the face. Use of the skin specific, appropriate moisturizing face masks and gels are a great way to increase moisture levels directly in the facial skin. Keeping hydrated is also recommended as part of the overall moisturizing process. Having the right internal and external hydration will go a long way to allowing the skin to readjust and naturally tighten. Use all over body moisturizers as well as face masks and drink a lot of water to improve the natural tautness and flexibility of the skin.
Hair regeneration or restoration
Many who have gone through a process of weight loss notice a change in their hair, either loss of thickness or color and volume. The main cause of this during or after weight loss is the reduction of nutrients and vitamins available for the hair as the overall diet changes. Improved hydration as aforementioned will help to provide cells with the fluids required for nutrient transfer and delivery. However, if the hair loss is severe, it is worth having a full check-up to ensure there are no underlying health issues as the hair is a great signifier of issues in the body.
