Vitamin E - loosening skin during weight loss.

gispi918

So, I have had Vitamin E in my medicine cabinet for when I had scars from accidents that needed healing. Needless to say they helped, but not completely making it disappear.

Has anyone taken Vitamin E to help with loosening skin during weight loss? I'm not in the stage right now where I have excess sagging skin, but I have been feeling my tummy getting looser. I do realize that when you lose fat, the skin tends to hang as it is no longer supported by the fat that was underneath. I'm trying to promote skin elasticity so it won't be so bad later on.

Currently I'm 26 years old, and weighting 286. I started at 298lb, and got down to 276 before I was sent on business trips for over a month without my gym and without being able to follow my diet (eating habit). When I was 276 I felt my skin starting to get loose, and was worried that it wont bounce back at the rate I was going.

Any help would be good. I'm taking it easy this time around and just focusing on getting back on track, and eating better (again).

Thanks in advance guys.

Topically or internally?

I take a few things to help with skin health.
I've noticed things bouncing back quicker after this baby.

But overall, staying hydrated and focusing on good nutrition might be the better option.

Vitamin E is one of those vitamins that can be dangerous in large amounts.
I would not take it for more than 90 days in a row if internally (by mouth).

Surgery is an option you can treat yourself with someday (after all child bearing).
Until then, JCPenny's sells something called Spanx.
Get fitted. And ask when they go on sale. May cost about $80
