After my delivery, I've noticed I have a lot of loose skin around my tummy area. It's bothering me quite a bit. How can I get rid of this excess skin after pregnancy?
My mother-in-law gave me traditional post-pregnancy massages (maalish) and tied a cotton cloth around my tummy, which really helped support my back and slowly tighten the loose skin.
Wear that loose skin like a badge of honor! It's basically a permanent balloon that held a whole human. Give it some time, normal walking and core exercises will slowly bring it back.
Beta, oil massages with warm mustard or olive oil help improve skin elasticity over time. Don't rush into heavy exercises, let your body heal naturally first.
Don't waste money on expensive firming creams or salon treatments, they rarely work. Focus on drinking water and doing basic home workouts once your doctor clears you, it saves money and works better.
Getting rid of loose skin? Honestly, I'm just trying to get rid of my dark circles first, haha! Give your body some time, it took nine months to stretch so it won't disappear in a day.
