This year, many people spent the hot summer at home. However, it is quite possible that you will still have to lose weight: if international air travel is resumed, we will all be waiting for the winter holiday season, for which it would not hurt to prepare in advance.

But there is a downside to getting rid of extra pounds – sudden fluctuations in weight can provoke skin problems. Together with cosmetologist Elena Gretsova, we tell you what troubles most often arise with rapid weight loss.

Sagging skin

Most often “excess” skin after weight loss is left on the arms, abdomen and chin. This problem can be solved with the help of a cream, which should include peptides and retinol.

Fine wrinkles

Not only the body, but also the face suffers due to sudden weight fluctuations. If you do not have enough money for permanent tightening, the situation can be remedied by cosmetic products with hyaluronic acid.

Acne and allergies
