Ugh... loose skin

janiedoe111

I have lost 65ish pounds since February. The skin on my stomach is not looking so lovey. I have been looking into firming moisturizers; I found great reviews for this Neutrogena Firming with Copper, but alas, it seems as though they no longer make it.

Any suggestions?

Again this is for skin concerns I care a lot less about cellulite.

Thank you!

The skin on my belly is very saggy too. 2 10lb babies did it to me. I'd love to hear what others say.

I have saggy skin on my thighs above my knees! Sadly, I don't think there's much to do about it:grumble:

I have been using a lotion and body wrap product that I order since I started losing weight. My skin has really kept up well over the last 6 months. I've also seen other people get some good results too.

I don't think I am allowed to say much, because of the advertising rules on the site. Its a body applicator from a company called "It Works"

apparently just massaging the areas can help a bit. it gets blood flowing there and the blood flow helps firm it a bit. My sister saw this on tv, so I don't know *how* much it works. But. if it's just laying there rubbing your problem areas for half an hour a night, what's it going to hurt? *L*

I'm pretty sure you can tell people you like a product unless you are the one selling it.

That is the problem, I use it and I signed up as a distributor for the discount. Hence the problems with discussing it in the forum.

I am trying 'dry skin brushing'. Not sure about the results at this point, but I'll keep you posted

Sootymae, I think you're on to something. When I broke my leg last Feb. my physical therapist massaged my leg to "get rid of the debris" and get blood flowing again. I was dealing with a lot of swelling. My niece, who is an occupational therapist, showed me how to gently massage the area starting with the top part of my leg (knee) in a sort of effleurage, going all the way down. It did work.

So I am also looking for something that will help with saggy skin. I might start doing that same thing. My areas of concern are stomach, thighs and knees.

I will check back here to see what everyone has to say.

Weight lifting and cardio exercise would work better than creams. The muscles underneath with improve the look of the skin.

I do lift and do tons of cardio. Mine is more of an age thing than a weight loss thing-loss of elasticity where your skin gets "crepey". Heck, I'll try massaging, can't hurt and if it's a cream, maybe I'll get smooth supple skin!
