Lotion to help loose skin?

[Stacie 1]

I am wondering if there is a good lotion I should be using to help with loose skin...Do you use one you recommend? I have a recollection that someone said they used something that worked well, but now I can't remember the details.

I lost so much muscle mass with two weeks in the hospital. And I am already really sagging. I figure lotion might not work, but it doesn't hurt to try!!

I use a couple of different brands. Of course, I have a super thick body cream by Bath and Bodyworks. But, I also use this stuff

It's uber thick, and creamy. I use it on my abdomen, arms, boobs, chest and neck.

For my neck, I use Loreal Revitalift advanced wrinkle concentrate:

I also use Olay regenerist micro-sculpting cream on my neck and face.

I have a little bit of a turkey going on, and those last 2 seem to help. I use both of morning and night. The Loreal product really seems to tighten my neck and jaw line.

Botox is definitely in my future.

I am a rep for a company that has 2 products that have been hugely beneficial for WLS with skin tightening and inch loss. But, I don't want to "advertise" here because that's not why I'm a member of this site so please feel free to PM me if you'd like info and my website.

I was sooooo glad to see your post about being on the other side of your complications! Congratulations!!!

I'm in the process of appealing for my sleeve and in the meantime i have done a little research, this website has alot of helpful hints that i thought was worth a try.

I was also watching a TV show and one good tip was taking a bath with 1 cup ebsom salt and a cup of green tea (8 teabags) i dont recall word for word but it is supposed to help get toxins out and tighten up the jiggly skin

Good luck!! and Congratulations!!

I'm using Obage products on my face and neck. I just got a big bottle of cocoa butter lotion for all around body. I have a little tub of shea butter/cocoa butter cream for hands and feet because those are getting dry. For detox I use a thick cream that I bought at a spa in Cambodia. I guess I'm a mishmash of products right now.

give me a lotion that actully keep loose skin away and i give you all the money in my savings and bank account i run 7 days a week and i still have loose skin. in the end i will not build up enough muscle to fill the skin and you have to remember gentics and all that stuff play in there.(although my mother 45 years old and doesnt have a wrinkle in sight same with my father both not overweight at all so i guess gentics didn't help me there lol ) most of my weight was in my thighs hence why i'm saving for the thigh lift. glad your doing better by the way!
