I am happy I'm losing excess fat! But, I seem to have lost the mojo out of my face from losing fat there! Is there any way to combat that?
Thanks. :)

    A good moisturizer is what I'm trying. I like Clinique's products.

    It will probably tighten up some on its own over the next year, but there is no product you can rub on that will tighten the skin for you. Cosmetic surgery is the only thing that can do that.

    Have you looked into doing facial exercises?

    My general anti-wrinkle regimen: Retin-A Micro every night, a vitamin C serum during the day (Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is the best one, but also most expensive), and a moisturizer with niacinamide (I like CeraVe PM moisturizer). Also, during the day use a broad spectrum sunscreen. Look for ones with physical blockers such as zinc oxide, they tend to be most effective and cause the least irritation. Hope that helps!

    I have the same issue. mostly around my mouth. looks like I smoked and I never have. makes me look about 10 years older(I think anyway). so you are not alone.cant say what to use as I am hoping others will state things that will work some,without being too pricey

    I use grapeseed oil after my shower and it works great. No loose skin.

    I second the use of oils. Apricot oil is another good option - DH started using it last year and it reduced some pretty intense wrinkles he had on his forehead. I like switching between argan oil and marula oil. A little pricier, but they seem to work better for my skin.

    Product won't help unfortunately. Filler. I did Botox, too. It's a totally personal decision and I'm incredibly happy with it!

    I've met a lady who looked like 50, but she said she was 70. Her secret was wearing sun screen all the time and retin A ( I think you can buy it in Mexico or get it prescribed in US )

    I was getting a little saggy at the neck/eyes...got the Clinique Smart Repair night mask. Very thick. I have sensitive skin - no breakouts. One of the things the girl said was to always put the heavy face stuff on your neck/decolletage area which a lot of folks skip.

    Also said lots of water/green tea.

    I think I also just caught it early and dealt with it while losing the weight. So far, so good. Told someone my age and they said they would've guessed 10 years younger or so, so I'll take it :smile:

    I have used tons of things....from very expensive to cheap. My favorits now are yes, PONDS!! It smells awesome and does a great job. I also use CereVe and coconut oil sometimes.....I can't afford Botox but these are my favorite products for my skin.

    I have found the Aldi Creams brilliant, not sure if it helps with loose skin from weight loss, but for me its made my skin feel the best it has in years, and few people have commented how much better my skin looks, fine lines reduced etc. Lacuna i thinks its called, i got day, night and eye cream for about a tenner or so x

    I find it much more affordable to consult a dermatologist to help your set a daily routine than to keep trying different products. I do get twice a year treatments (in my case, laser).

    You can still get Ponds Cold Cream? My mum always used that, and looked younger than she really was until her last few years. I loved the smell of it too. :smile:

    I want to agree with everyone who said sunscreen here, sun is your skins enemy! It won't help reduce wrinkles you already have but it will prevent future wrinkles and keep your skin young and healthy. And slather on your favorite moisturizer :)
