Has anyone used any and seen results with their skin? I've seen a few people say cocoa butter but any particular creams? Anyone had any successes they want to share? :D

    I don't think it's so much the type of cream that matters as the action of massaging it into the skin that helps. Cocoa butter would be fine.

    Tightening your skin up is really a combination of strength training, especially on the affected area, massage and time.

    Hope this helps.

    I know, I already do all those things to excess anyway, I just realised I've been using a cream I thought was cocoa butter and it isn't hahaha. I've been told to use a loofah as well to scrub away and help promote healthy cells instead of dead skin etc..apparently it helps!

    All you can really do is wait for your skin to do it's thing...if you lost weight quickly, it's got a lot of catching up to do. Don't know if the loofah thing works, but seeing as exfoliating might encourage skin cell renewal, it seems to make sense.

    Honestly though, exercise is the main thing I found that helps, but I think it does also depend on your skin's natural elasticity.

    Yeah I've looked at other avenues I thought this might just be a little helper along the way, maybe promote healthy cells a bit faster or something. I've had pretty dry skin anyway since I've lost so it's a good all round thing anyway. I do like 2 hours of exercise a day I can't do much more!

    There is NOTHING you can rub on your body that will make your skin tighter. The tautness of your skin is related to connective tissure which, if it's been stretched, will only tighten up in its own good time.

    The best thing you can do for your skin is to eat excellent food, exercise regularly and get plenty of restful sleep.

    I am going to start using a Firming Body Cream today and evaluate it's effectiveness :smile: It is part of product line that I already use and LOVE and I have heard good things about it! It's supposed to support collagen and elastin to help promote a firmer and smoother look and feel to skin. What can it hurt to try :smile:
