You've had the bariatric weight-loss surgery and you are looking fabulous
as you are feeling healthier, able to live a more active lifestyle, and wear
more fashionable clothing. But you're noticing that your skin seems to be
so dry! If you've had a problem with acne or oily skin before, then you are
elated that your skin has cleared up and is less oily. But for those who started
out with normal to dry skin to begin with, this new extra-dry skin poses a
bit of an issue, even perhaps, a discomfort from itching and flakiness.

Developing dry skin after the surgery can become a problem for many after
they undergo the surgery. Not getting enough fluids in is probably the biggest
culprit but not solely responsible. Acne and oily skin often come as a result
of certain foods; and since a bariatric patient has basically cut out such
foods that are fatty, fried, and greasy, the acne or oily skin goes away.
This is happy news for someone who battled acne or oily skin for years. But
for those who fall into the normal to dry skin category prior to surgery,
the increased dryness can be irritating.

The skin is the largest organ of our bodies. It is a breathing and functional
covering of our body that holds our skeleton, muscles, and vital organs all
in one neat safe package. Our skin sweats, absorbs, feels sensations, and
also protects everything inside. It is important that we take care of it so
it can continue to function at its best for us.

Hand and body lotions are the easiest remedies that offer a wide range simple
basics to vitamin-enriched formulas. It's wise to experiment with little trial
samples of these products to find out what soothes your skin issues the best.
Buy the smallest amount possible at first so in the event your skin doesn't'
like a product, not so much money was spent on something you wont' use again.
And when you find that product that works best for you, remember where you
purchased it so you can buy more - because you WILL buy more when you use
your favorite hand or body lotion everyday. Hand lotion will be used several
times a day, probably each time after you wash your hands; so carry some hand
lotion with you in your hand bag (men have some in the car). Washing hands really dries out the skin since soap and tap water is harsh. Your hands may be clean, but they tend to get so dry, you can barely pick up a single sheet of paper!
