Monitor your progress.

If you see facial changes starting that worry you, consult your family doctor or weight loss clinic. You may eventually need supportive massage therapy.

We tend to lose fat where we actually have fat and we don’t lose it evenly. If your face wasn’t “fat” when you were heavy you will probably lose proportionately elsewhere.

That being said, everything will change. Will it be ok if you have a skinny face but reduce health issues, get more vitality and stamina and extend your life?

Loose skin, thinning hair and perhaps a skinny face are a badge of honor for the hard work.

The reality of weight loss is that your body is going to shrink wherever it wants. I lost weight first in the face, and now I am wrestling with that spare tire around my lower stomach. It is okay though. I would rather get rid of a lifetime of weight issues, and improve my health than worry about where I am and am not losing weight.

That should be the last thing on your mind right now. You just have to know that you are going to be healthier and better off by losing the weight. If you already have a thin face, chances are, you won't lose much there. That is the good news.

I did not experience a skinny face. But as the weight dropped off, a strange thing happened. I developed very fine paper thin wrinkles all over my face. The type that you see on people over a hundred years old. Now I know I am not a spring chicken, but these wrinkles were very disconcerting. My wife suggested I use a product which she was using called BioOil (which is available at Walmart, CVS and other stores). I put it on each morning and the wrinkles were gone. I have been using it for around 4 years now and I am very pleased with it.

Developing fine wrinkles can also be a sign of not meeting your daily Fluid requirement. So make sure you keep yourself hydrated.

i love BioOil. I have been using is since surgery to help with getting rid of my surgery scars. In the process, the stretch marks on my stomach have gotten noticeably smaller to the point where I can barely see them. My scars are smooth to the touch with the exception of the largest scar by my belly button. Anyway, the stuff is cheap, and I kind've even like how it smells.

Isn't Bio oil just mineral oil and a bunch of surficants, additives, etc? I prefer organic shea butter.

EVOO (extra virgin olive oil is effective ... bang for buck, it's relatively cheap too.

The primary component of Bio-Oil is PurCellin Oil, a synthetic version of the preen oil which is secreted by ducks. This oil helps duck feathers become waterproof. The oil acts as an effective delivery system for the product’s other ingredients speeding up absorption and improving spreadability. Bio-Oil also contains Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Lavender, Calendula, Rosemary oil and Chamomile.
