The causes of skin loss of elasticity can be divided into epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue from outside to inside. The quantity and arrangement of elastin and collagen in dermis are most directly related to skin compactness and elasticity.
Generally speaking, aging skin will gradually lose collagen at a faster rate than its growth, so the skin will gradually lose elasticity, wrinkle or collapse. In addition, poor blood circulation will affect the absorption of water and nutrients, or excessive stretching of skin will break collagen and elastin fibers, which is also one of the reasons that affect skin elasticity.
2 How to recover postpartum abdominal relaxation 1. Skin care: Choose skin care products containing moisturizing, vitamin C and fruit acid, apply them on swollen abdomen or local skin, and increase blood and lymphatic circulation with massage to help skin increase elasticity. In particular, vitamin C and fruit acid can penetrate epidermis and promote collagen proliferation in dermis.
2. Besides foods rich in colloid, such as pig's hands and chicken's feet, "protein" and "vitamin C" can also promote the production of collagen. She pointed out that most of the nutrients and energy needed by the body come from food, so carelessness in diet is natural and can create healthy skin.

She suggested that the intensity of exercise should be evaluated by the recovery degree of postpartum wounds, and the whole body should be slightly stretched 2 weeks after delivery, and then the local muscle strength training should be gradually strengthened.
