Xtra Skin?

Hi,

I read somewhere about an aromatherapy formula that is combined with a good carrier oil that will help to shrink excess skin from weight loss. I can't remember the formula but I think that it used Cypress and Juniper which is supposed to also be good for cellulite.

Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

I am going to do some research and if I find the recipe and people are interested I will post it here.

Best wishes,
Karen

I know someone who had gastric by-pass that donated their extra skin to organ donation. It can help burn patients.

I don't know about herbal remedies, but I do know that exercising while losing the weight will help the appearance of the skin. It won't eliminate excess skin completely, however, the skin is an amazing organ and I've seen people lose over 100 pounds and have most of their skin snap back pretty well.

After losing more than 80, I have only a tiny amount of excess skin. It's hardly significant, and not something I worry about. It's better to be a small, healthy person with a little bit of loose skin than to be unhealthy and tight.

Your sister needs to begin concentrating on how she feels, more than on how she looks. That is one of the keys to success. Too much focus on the outside never worked for me. When I worked on my "insides", the outside took care of itself and my body returned to normal.

Best of luck to you and your sister, please let us know how it goes.
