How to Tighten the Skin After Losing Weight With Natural Spices & Herbs
One of the biggest challenges you may face after losing weight is tightening the excess skin that is left behind after all of the fat has been burned away. Sagging skin can also result from deteriorated muscle mass.
Several different methods can be used to coax your skin back into shape. However, many of these methods require surgery. Fortunately, there are herbs and spices that can be used to make skin-tightening masks and scrubs that may significantly help tighten your skin, allowing you to avoid costly surgery and harsh chemical treatments. Items from your pantry, such as rosemary, mountain ash, turmeric, cinnamon and ginger, can be used to tighten and refresh skin along the arms, neck, face and belly.

Try this turmeric and cinnamon exfoliating scrub before applying any type of topical skin treatment. Mix 2 tsp. turmeric with cinnamon, olive oil and salt (or sugar for dry skin). Turmeric helps tighten the skin, cinnamon energizes the skins and promotes collagen production while the other ingredients remove dead skin cells and moisturize.

Grind fresh ginger into a pulpy paste and add crushed anise seed or anise essential oil. Dilute the mixture with honey until a desired consistency is reached. Smooth the paste over skin for 10 to 15 minutes. In addition, www.cosmeticsandtoiletries.com, an International Magazine of Cosmetic Technology, recommends seeking out products that contain organic herbs such as mountain ash and rosemary, which are both known for their stimulating and tightening properties.

Tone up with an herbal toner. Toners, most notably known for facial use, can be applied to other areas of the body as well. Upper arms, neck and chest are all susceptible to wrinkling and gathering loose skin. These areas also respond well to toner. Seek products with tea tree oil for body care toners.

I have used honey and cinnamon or just about everything. Scrub your face with equal amounts of cinnamon/honey; rince with warm water and apply sour cream for 10 minutes; wash that off with a warm wet cloth and finish with a ice cube; pat dry. You will love the beautiful glow and tightness of your face and neck.
