I just bought a bottle of "skin tightening" lotion to help my skin as I lose weight. Has anyone here had luck with stuff like this, or any suggestions on what to use?

I don't want to lose my weight only to have loose skin everywhere (I can already notice my skin getting looser).

I personally don't have anything for the rest of my body BUT I do take care of my face/neck. I don't want the turkey thing going if I can avoid it.

I use Mary Kay Timewise and the night serum also. I also use the micro-dermabrasion 1-2 times per week. I did this before when I lost 100+ lbs (on my own) and I never had issues with my face and neck. Other areas...yes.

I am interested to see what everyone else does with the rest of the body. =)

I just use regular lotion. Well, it's typically whatever my husband buys me from Bath and Bodyworks.

I exfoliate once a week with a homemade sugar or salt scrub. I slather lotion and massage it in until it's absorbed and then put more on top.

When I was actively losing, I would take a thick body butter, slather it on my skin on my upper thighs, butt, and abdomen and wrap plastic wrap around those areas, not too tight, then I would do housework naked while no one was home. Do I think it helped? I don't really know, but my skin felt amazing LOL.

Time is the best thing for skin. Genetics and ethnicity play a huge role in how our skin looks post weight loss. I know my skin is rebounding every month, and I still moisturize religiously. I have wrinkly skin, but it's getting better. Filling out the extra skin with muscle mass is the best option. I need to do some heavy butt and thigh workouts to fill out the extra flabby skin.

For my face, and neck, I use Garnier ultra lift gravity defying moisturizer every morning and every night. I have wrinkles (crows feet and laugh lines) that are extremely apparent when I smile that were not there when I was fat. Nothing is going to fix it, but I do not have a turkey neck. I can tell a difference in how my skin looks if I skip the Garnier. My neck doesn't look as smooth.

Hi, I have been using it now for close to a month .......is it working? I have no idea but then I am still losing. I am also taking collagen capsules.

I am just one week post op. But I started using a skin care set by Jafra that my Mom sent me. It has the night cream, daily cleanser, optimum eyes serum and exfoliater. Thats for my Face! LOL

Now...for the rest of my body , I have been trying to use the Royal Jelly Body Complex she sent me, along with some RJ Pomegranate oil . We will see how that works. Ill keep yall posted...

Interesting post... I use face cream daily and nightly... it isn't an expensive one but I do like it and I can feel a difference if I forget... I too don't want that turkey neck thing going on..

But, I keep forgetting the rest of my body, occasionally and it is occasionally, I do use some body cream... I think this is a habit I should get into!

So far so good with my Jergins "Skin Tightening" lotion. I've just been putting it on in the mornings after I shower - including on my face. I'm pretty sure it's working because it kinda burns and tingles so it's at least doing something to my skin. lol

I'm only 25 years old so I'm hoping my age will help with my skin tightening up as I lose weight. Time will tell.
