I am also dealing with loose skin on my underarms after losing 8kg recently. I feel very shy wearing sleeveless tops now. Does doing simple arm rotations or push-ups really help to tighten them?

You need to target your triceps. I used my fitness app to schedule three sessions of push-ups and dumbbell extensions per week. Filling that loose skin area with lean muscle is the most effective way to tone up.

Since losing weight with PCOS can be slow, our skin sometimes gets time to adjust, but loose skin can still happen. I suggest focusing on a high-protein diet to support your muscle health. Consult your nutritionist for the best approach.

I used to hate looking at my arms in the mirror after my weight loss journey, it felt like my hard work was ruined. But please be kind to yourself. It takes a long time for the skin to shrink, so don't lose hope.

Hey! Don't worry at all, this is totally normal. Try doing some lightweight bicep curls and tricep dips at home. Building a little muscle underneath will make your arms look super toned and beautiful!

Beta, you can massage your arms with warm olive oil daily to improve skin elasticity. But remember, patience is key. The skin took time to stretch, so it will also take time to settle down.
