When someone is overweight, the skin stretches to accommodate the increased volume of weight. After weight loss, the skin sometimes fails to tighten back, and becomes loose, hangs or sags. It often acts as a reminder of the weight you once had.

Unfortunately, this may be difficult if not impossible to remove through normal exercise or dieting. If you are young enough, the loose skin may regain some of it's elasticity. If you are older (and overweight for a long time prior to losing weight) the loose skin is likely to remain.

Start by exfoliating your skin daily in the shower. The outer layer of your skin is made up of old, dried, dead cells. Your skin is a pretty low-maintenance and takes care of the removal of dead skin cells all on its own. But, when you get a little older this process of natural exfoliation begins to slow down. Exfoliating will help the skins circulation and the balance of skin growth. Then apply a skin firming cream to tighten the skin. You may also want to consult a physician for advice on how to get rid of your loose skin.
