Toning/Firming/Sculpting Creams and Lotions?

DarkSwan

So my theory is every little bit helps. I'm watching my portions, choosing healthier foods, drinking water the whole nine yards. So why not make my skin do some work too? I wanna know what of these products you have tried and how effective they were for you. I know there is no miracle cream to tighten skin, but I know that the elastin in your skin needs a little help sometimes.

I have been using the St. Ive's All Over Firming lotion and I have seen an improvement in the texture of my skin. I also have used Soap & Glory's Return To Slender, which tingles and seems to help my upper arms a little. It might be a placebo effect but I am definately happy with the St. Ive's considering its only $4 a bottle. I caught the Return To Slender on sale for $5, if I had paid full price I wouldn't be happy. Lol.

Yeah, I agree that every little bit helps. I've used some, and I've found that they do improve the skin's appearance. Right now I'm using Nivea's lotion with Coenzyme Q10 in it. Can't remember the name, but it seems to help. I'm gonna use lotion anyway, so I might as well use something that helps things look better too!

I am going to have to do some product research. I wonder if its better to go for "toning" or something with extra nutrients, maybe an anti aging lotion?

I've also tried Return To Slender and it does give a feeling of tightness after I've used it. Never got into a routine of using it every day yet though so I don't know how well it works in the long run..

On a side note, where in the US can you buy Soap and Glory? I'm in love with it and I bet it's a lot cheaper over there than it is in the UK... will have to look for some on my next holiday

I use Jergens Firming gradual self tanning lotion. Not really sure if it firms but it gives my skin a bit of a natural glow which to me makes my muscles pop and the definition noticable!

Question Where did you get the Return To Slender?
(I mean like what store cause I don't really like ordering stuff offline)

Currently S&G is not available stateside, they say that they will rerelease here in September. Target used to carry them though, and you may find some products lingering there.

I got it at Target, but like I said they pulled their stuff and won't be back till September. Which is sad cause I really like their stuff. You may still be able to find them at places that sell over stock.

Well I don't go on holiday until MArch anyway, so I guess I will just have to track it down when I get there
