one slight negative to weight loss

I was blessed with pretty good skin (hardly ever get any blemishes) that is still pretty young looking. However, I noticed in the mirror the other day that when I smile, I have extra wrinkles around my mouth that weren't there 3 months ago. My first thought was "What the heck...?"--then it clicked. I have less fat filling out my face, making the skin more wrinkled! Kind of a bummer, but I guess I'd rather have a few more wrinkles than stay fat!

Anyone know of good facial moisturizers that will help tighten up the skin? Just a basic anti-aging product?

    I know what you mean. I noticed not too long ago that I have the gobble neck and I'm totally freaked out. I didn't have it when my face and neck were fatter. I just moisturize like crazy. You might try some of the Olay products with the firming stuff. I hope I don't end up needing a neck lift!!

    Me too. My crows feet are so long!! I also have lines when I smile too. Time to invest in some anti aging creams. I thought I was going to get away with it since I was getting asked for id in the stores to buy alcohol when I was 29

    Another slight negative (from my DH): you get cold faster since you don't have as much bulk to keep warm!

    As for lotions, try something with vitamin E or A

    Don't forget to get plenty of water, good nutrient-rich food, and SLEEP!!! :)
