A sagging belly looks ugly, this is how you can tighten it!

For female friends, a loose waist and abdomen is a big flaw, especially for women who have just given birth. Their belly after childbirth is like a deflated balloon, which is ugly no matter how you look at it. They can only rely on corsets and loose-waisted clothes to cover it up. At this time, if they know how to take measures to tighten their belly, they will soon be able to restore a tight and elastic belly!

Why does the skin become loose after childbirth?

During pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, the growing expansion of the uterus exerts long-term pressure on the abdominal skin, forcing the abdominal skin tissue to stretch, while the venous return in the body's circulatory system is blocked, resulting in varying degrees of pregnancy edema, increased water content in the interstitial spaces, and skin tightness. After the mother gives birth, although her abdomen is no longer swollen, the skin tissue will temporarily lose its elasticity due to long-term stretching.

After delivery, although venous return improves, pregnancy edema disappears and the skin appears loose, it is difficult to return to the pre-pregnancy level naturally.

In addition, mothers often stay in bed for a long time and lack exercise during the postpartum confinement period, which leads to muscle atrophy and gradual filling with fat, so sagging skin is inevitable.

How to restore sagging skin after childbirth

Supplement collagen: Mothers should supplement collagen in time after delivery, whether through injection, oral administration or using collagen-supplementing creams. Appropriate supplementation of collagen can significantly enhance the skin's supporting ability.

With the help of skin care products, it can tighten the skin, promote blood circulation and speed up metabolism. Completely solve the sagging and aging of the skin caused by postpartum, enhance skin radiance, and make the skin as smooth as silk. The effect is better if combined with massage techniques.

Avoid exposure to the sun: Mothers should avoid exposure to the sun after delivery and pay more attention to sun protection. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can cause skin aging. The skin of a new mother will suffer varying degrees of damage due to swelling during pregnancy. If she is exposed to the sun before she fully recovers after delivery, the damage to her skin will be more serious than that of an ordinary person.

Vitamin supplement: Postpartum women should eat more fruits, such as oranges and other fruits rich in vitamin C, which can protect cells from damage by ultraviolet rays and neutralize free radicals, help synthesize collagen, and improve skin wrinkles and sagging.

Replenish moisture: Postpartum women also need to replenish moisture, improve moisturizing levels and the resistance of the stratum corneum, replenish moisture for the skin, and make the skin tissue structure plump and elastic.

Moderate exercise: You should exercise appropriately after giving birth. Don’t lie in bed all the time to rest. Appropriate exercise (such as aerobic exercise such as yoga) can speed up your body’s recovery and prevent abdominal fat accumulation.
