This it what I use:
Fish oil supplements (omega 3's)
Vitamin C supplements
Plenty of water
Oil of Olay age defying cream in a jar (have used this for the last 10-15 years and love it!)
Eat good fats like Olive oil, coconut oil and fatty foods like avacados and salmon or mackeral
Get enough sleep - this is the time the body and skin repairs itself.0 -
Great ideas from everyone.0

Ask your dermatologist about retin-a cream for your face. It is a Rx. You DO have to wear sunscreen every day.0

My suggestion would be to smile all the time to celebrate your success. Happy faces always look younger. Congratulations on your success and I hope to someday celebrate my own 50lb loss!0

I am not sure about the rest, but when it comes to skin, I absolutely SWEAR by Paula's Choice products. I have had various skin issues my whole life and her products are THE BEST.

I lost mine a bit slower except for the first 20 and at that point I felt like my skin was a size too big, after 3 months of working out, (cardio, strength training, etc) my skin is slowly catching up. It does firm up after awhile, out body even over 50 still turns over the skin cells so just keep working out, but I would definitely consider slowing the weight loss down and let your body catch up. Good body lotions, I use a collagen base for face cream and a CoQ10 for the body cream, it has really helped my skin look much healthier. Oh and I drink a minimum of 10 cups of water a day, (some of that as unsweetened herb tea) and it has really helped, if I mess up my water I notice i don't look so good, lol.0

I know! I remember once reading that the one (or the only) good thing about being overweight is that it makes your face appear younger - probably because the fat smooths or stretches out the skin. But just remember, people won't notice that about you - they will notice how great you look because of the weight loss! We are our own worst critics! I bet you are beautiful!0

The fat in your face is what gives you a youthful appearance, after rapid weight loss or just through normal aging you lose some of that fat, which is why procedures like botox are so popular.0

There is a product called Lifeline skincare that has been developed using stemcells that i have heard great things about. I intend to start using it when I'm in the market for more skincare creams (just recently spent a fortune on them through duty free before I heard of this product)... Google it and have a read but it could be worth a try as well.0

I'm 50 and have been mindful of that because I've seen happen even on younger folks. A few of weeks ago, I decided that I would lose weight more slowly, about 1/2 a pound a week so my body can adjust slowly. At our age, let's face it, we don't spring back like 20 year olds! I'm also drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day and eating a variety of healthy, nutrient dense foods which are comprising 96% of my diet. Even my one little vise, a 6oz glass of wine (and no more than one daily) is said to be good for heart function.
I've lost 10 pounds now, far short of where you are to be sure, but so far, so good. I don't look any older than when I started.0 -

par57 Thanks for posting the subject, as I have a thin face already and wondering what - 20 is going to look like?0

I have heard...that if you lose weight slowly...your body adapts better....instead of losing it faster ...so there is more lose skin, less elasticity...etc etc.0
