Where Do You Notice The Weight-Loss First?

[Juli Salzman 41]

I looked at my face this morning and noticed it looks thinner. However, it is sagging, too. What can I do? I'm not anticipating being able to afford plastic surgery at any time. Are there exercises, creams, voodoo spells (j/k) that will help keep my skin up on my face? I prefer prevention to surgery.

There are some skin tightening facial masks on the market, as well as some skin creams that are said to promote elasticity and firm the skin. I'd suggest researching a bit online to find out what ingredients to look for in creams and masks. Also, if there are any facial care places nearby, you might consider a consult with them too. Far less expensive that cosmetic work, and usually they can recommend what to use and often offer a series of treatments which might be the route to go. I have a feeling I'll be soon be researching these things as well because my family members have mentioned noticing the weight loss (only 17 so far) in my face as well. I have the same concerns. I'll keep you posted if I find any particularly promising products! Good luck!

I noticed it in my face first. I went to a local day spa and had a skin firming facial and it did help. They recommended I come back once a month. I cost me $40 so I may have a few more but not once a month.

I noticed first in my face. I do notice some sagging neck skin.

Lots of people recommend Mary Kay and I may try some of the anti-aging, skin tighening products.

I think genetics plays a huge role...sigh.....

i use chemical peels... they are marvellous for building collagen. Also have a skin roller (derma roller) which has lots of very small needles on the drum... i use that regularly, about twice a week to encourage collagen. thats good as well. i also use rose hip oil. i massage that in, after ive put some Water on my face. im hoping that i can get away with chem peels and derma roller for some time. im 66.

My Dr warned me I would lose from top to bottom. He was right.

That said I am 52 years old and never thought I looked my age.... until now. So did some research and found the Philosphy line which I now use religiously on my face. There are plenty out there.... find one that works for you. I use the Help Me rentinol cream, the When Hope isnt enough firming gel and Hope in a jar moisturizer everyday. If I forget any of the 3.... I can see a difference.

They also have a firming lotion for the body and as much as I love it.... I cannot see any difference on my arms and legs after I use it except that they are smoother.
