Along with daily applications of hand and body lotion, I highly recommend
the use of bath salts at least twice a week as well. A good soaking bath in
bath salts will give your dry skin the extra treatment it needs. Bath salts
soften the bath tap water for the skin while the skin absorbs the softness
from the salts just
like clothing absorbs fabric softener. If you do a lot of swimming in chlorinated
pools, your skin will truly thank you after a good bath salts soaking. Bath
salts provide a long-lasting effect and make the skin feel refreshed. Bath
salts come in loose crystals or in solid forms that dissolve in warm water.
I prefer the crystals because this allows you to control the amount you want
to use per bath, be it a lot or a little. Plain Epsom salts are the barebones
if that's all you want, or you can buy the bath salts that are colored and
perfumed to enhance your soaking pleasure and ambiance.

Don't forget the lips! They are suffering too from dryness after surgery!
Use a good moisture-rich product. For problem lips that need help instantly,
try a medicated lip balm that has special healing medicines that will take
immediate affect to stop the cracking and burning. Lip balm should be worn
throughout all seasons as the cold, heat, wind, and sun are not kind to unprotected
lips.

When you buy sunscreens for outdoor activities, select a product that offers
not only efficient sun blockage for you, but also offers moisturizers. (Here's
where you can find more detailed information on skin care and stretch
mark removal cream.)

If you've never babied or pampered your skin prior to surgery, then you
need to begin doing it afterward. You'll find that you're experiencing more "touching" encounters than ever before because people want to hug you in congratulatory embraces as they tell you how happy they are for you. Make it a "softer" experience
for everyone involved as you drench your skin with great skin products.

Skin care is something that needs to become a part of your daily routine
as much as getting enough fluids in after surgery. If you do this, your skin
will feel healthier, look more radiant, and you will probably knock a few
years off of your appearance too! Continue to amaze others - not only in your
weight-loss achievements, but in your general overall healthy appearance as
well. Remember those hugs that are coming!
