Fixing my wrinkly skin!

Hey Guys!

I'm getting close to my weight loss goal and working on toning up, (thanks to Jillian) but I have a quick question. I had my son 2 years ago, and only gained 15 lbs but it was literally ALLL baby, so as you can imagine, lots of stretched skin left over. My stretch marks are paleish and I can deal with them, but with the toning I've done, and the weight I've lost so far, (just 17 lbs but still) I have a pretty wrinkly stomach left over. I figured toning would help but so far I dont see it getting any better. I don't need it to be perfect but right now I look like I have an extra butt crack under my belly button haha. Though it could be an awesome joke to the fam around the pool, I don't welcome it anymore. Any idea of anything else I can do to tighten the skin up short of lasers/surgery? I'm sure it would help me to get down to minimal body fat like the women in exercise videos but I just don't find that attractive. Is there maybe some new exercise I don't get from 30DS or cardio that might straighten it out at least a little? I'm sure theres something one of you with your awesome sucess stories has done to tighten your goods, care to share? I can try to post pics if you need to to see the severity, it's not extremely awful, but it's enough to make me uncomfortable in a bikini. Thanks in advance!

You could look into using a good oil and massage the skin to help. Castor Oil packs can help and you can look the information up on the ARE's website with Edgar Cayce. Also some people like Coconut Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil both can have good benefits for the skin.

Thanks! Have you had success with either or know anyone else who has?

It's use for massage quite a bit and yes it can work if you do it each day. Massage will help with the skin as well.
