Hey everyone,
I'm here on behalf of my wife (who does not know I'm here). This seemed like a wonderful community, so I was hoping I could get some advice for her. She recently lost a lot of weight very quickly, and as a result she has a lot of excess flabby skin, which has also gotten somewhat crepey in many areas. She's developed all kinds of body issues over it and she's been afraid to get online and ask for advice for tightening it back up. She keeps telling me that she wants to fix it, but that she's afraid she's just going to find out that it can't be fixed. Personally, I'm just happy that she's lost all this weight. She keeps saying that she feels so much better after losing it, but now she's so self-conscious about these skin issues that I almost wish she hadn't lost it! (just kidding).
What are some things to look into for her? She's using raw organic shea butter, and raw organic cocoa butter. I've done a little bit of research and I've seen mention of various whipped butters people make that have both of these in them. Is this something worth looking into?
She's been using a dermaroller. She's using it on stretch marks and on all of the loose skin. I'm still kind of skeptical about that functionality of this. It seems like a plausible idea in principle though. There does seem to be some benefit to it so far.
She is also using this high frequency facial thing on a lot of the skin. Again, I'm somewhat skeptical about this, but as with the dermaroller, there are tons of positive reviews on them.
Someone help! I just want her to get back to where she can be comfortable with herself again. She's been getting really down on herself about all of this. Any input would be very much appreciated.
