Waxy Skin

My skin particularly on my face, shoulders and chest, has a waxy feel. I am 6 mos out from RNY. Has anyone experienced this? Is it normal? Should I be concerned?

You have built up too many layers of dead skin cells and been putting lotions on top of them. The solution is to exfoliate and stop putting lotions on until the skin feels normal again.

Thank you! That makes sense. I have been trying to eliminate this problem without exfoliating! Again...thank you!

Try to use scrubs, peelings, cleansing and matting masks. That worked for me!
