Instructions

How to Tighten Your Stomach Skin

1. Exfoliate the skin in a circular motion daily. Exfoliating the skin will help get rid of dead skin cells and prepare the body to produce new skin. This can help the skin become healthier and renewed.

2. Apply collagen cream. This will help tighten the stomach skin, replenish water in the skin that has naturally depleted over time, and restore elasticity. Restoring elasticity helps the skin to tighten after it has been stretched.

3. Gain muscle. Muscle can help replace fat and help combat loose stomach skin from reoccurring. Try starting a new fitness routine.

4. 

   Drink Water. Add at least three, 8-ounce glasses of water to your diet. Drinking water will help keep the body nourished, as well as help restore elasticity, thus tightening the skin.

5. 

   Add Vitamins A, C, E to your diet. These vitamins help to restore the tightness of skin. Some foods high in vitamin A are carrots, yams and cantaloupes. Vitamin C can be found in red bell peppers, oranges, strawberries and broccoli. Vitamin E can be found in most nuts such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds and hazelnuts.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider a tummy tuck---all of the loose skin can be surgically removed.
