If you've recently lost a significant amount of weight you may have been left with excess loose, flaccid skin. Many people will find that regular vigorous exercise will help to improve the muscle tone underneath the skin. Eating the right kind of foods and possibly taking supplements can also help to regenerate the skin's condition.
Collagen and elastin are proteins that are found in the body's connective tissues, bones, ligaments and skin. Collagen provides healthy, spongy skin structure and elastin provides its elasticity. Aromatherapy can be extremely beneficial for skin tone and cell regeneration. Some essential oils encourage skin cell renewal, therefore strengthening integrity of the skin, while others stimulate lymphatic flow and circulation which helps combat sluggish, congested skin. Better circulation increases oxygenation and nutrition to the dermis which in turn stimulates the production of collagen and encourages the cells to multiply. It is thought that the nutrients and proteins found in essential oils also helps to stimulate and protect collagen and elastin production. Aromatherapy massage also stimulates the peripheral nerve endings, reducing stress and tension which can increase the rate at which collagen and elastin are broken down.
