Congrats on feeling healthier and getting fitter! I'm sure you are seeing wrinkles that no one else even notices! We are all our worst critics:(. With that said, it can take time for the skin to catch up to the weight loss by shrinking. Stay moisturized, drink lots of water, and it should improve. The dry brushing idea is great and it also improves circulation to the skin. As far as the face and neck goes, retinol can work wonders! I've been using it on and off for 10 years and so far I've very few wrinkles at 46. It can help to rebuild lost collagen and also repair sun damage. I get a prescription from my Dr. Costs about $50 for a tube that will last me about 6 months. They also have a lot of over the counter options that are cheaper but not as strong.

At 61 and 15 years post menopause, I found that my skin did tighten up somewhat after I list weight a few years ago. Well, either that, or I'm used to how I look with more wrinkles! But, people don't treat me like I'm 80!
