Skin firming lotion that actually works...if there is such a

I would love to know this as well.. I lost 168 lbs and need some firming so if anyone has suggestions please message me

I have no idea about skin firming creams but I did have a big burn scar (hungover cooking accident) on my stomach and also stretch marks on my stomach and the tops of my thighs and Lush Dream Cream helped to fade them. It took years but it did work.

I think Palmers Cocoa butter is also meant to be good for that sort of thing too and Bio Oil but I don't use either of them so I can't say first hand

Bump...interested in this

I've tried a few of the creams over the years and I think they are all OK (can't hurt). What makes a big difference is the cirulation you get when you apply it. The first cream I ever used was by biotherm in the 1980s and it came with a massager (hand held thing with rubber waves) and had instructions that required you to massage your thighs (or the offending area in question) for a period of time, then apply the cream massaging in. That was the big part I think. I still use the creams with a hopeful heart but I do think it's the drybrushing before my shower and the action of rubbing the cream in that does the work getting the blood circulating through.

I use the greasiest lotion I can find & smear it on every day after a shower. I did that when I was pregnant with my daughter too & came away with 3 tiny little stretch marks below my belly button.

Aloe can be very helpful. It is the main ingredient in Mederma which is sold (at an exorbitant price) to reduce scarring and stretch marks. Plain, natural aloe is very inexpensive. For stretched skin and cellulite bumps, research shows that vigorously massaging skin (in the shower, or with ANY lotion) breaks up the underlying fat deposits that create the pocked look to skin. Skin creams sold especially as firming creams work primarily by invigorating the blood vessels to bring more circulation to the area and to break up the fat pockets underneath, so no need for the expensive diminishing creams. I also use exfoliating mitts and a body brush encourage circulation, slough off dead skin cells, and bring fresh, new skin to the surface.
Preparation H is great under the eyes for a puffy skin day (models use it frequently), but on a daily basis, or on large portions of your body, I highly discourage it. Petroleum jelly instead.
Also, caffeine has been show to tighten skin (topically), but in the short term. I occasionally use coffee grounds as an exfollient in the shower (messy in the bath) which tightens skin, removes dead skin cells and the oils in the coffee leave the skin incredibly soft.
I hope you find this helpful! Many blessings!

I suggest l'occitane almond milk concentrate. It's a great body firming

My friend Rachel (carolinamomma) once said she swears by preparation H as weird as that sounds. She's lost I think 200lbs? And she has like...zero extra skin, so she must be doing something right!

^^^^ yup! This is exactly what I was gonna say. She says to slather it on and wear a pair of spanx. She looks great btw!!
