Good Facial Moisturizer



Recommended Posts

I am looking for info regarding a good facial moisturizer and if it helps tighten all the better. I know there are no magical lotions or potions to get rid of loose skin, but I would like to find something for my face to keep it hydrated. There is soooo much on the market I dont know where to start.

I use clean and clear moisturizer, if you are prone to break outs it's great. Plus the best thing to do is really exfoliate your face I use the apricot scrub 2-3 times per week and I also use this brown-ish exfoliating washcloth that you can find at Walmart or heb. They have one that is like a regular washcloth on one side and the exfoliater on the other, but I like the one that's just the exfoliating. If you look up Christie Brinkley and her face routine you will see that is her "key" thing is exfoliating to keep her looking SO young. I have been doing it for years and I'm 42 ppl never think I'm my age, even with being heavy. So I'm HOPING it continues when I lose this dang weight!!!

Sadly I looked 20 years young a year ago. Fat fills out the wrinkles. I wouldn't trade, but it's one of the reasons I tell people to make their decision early (younger) because the older you are, the less you bounce back. I've officially started my nip tuck savings account.

To the original question, I have several kinds I'm trying. There used to be a product called Neutrogena Copper Firming Lotion that was fantastic...so they stopped making it. I am looking around for another product that has active copper as that seemed to be the key for me.

I use other more intense stuff around my eyes, but for now the clean n clear is perfect for my face. Want to keep the wrinkles at bay as LONG as possible! lol

I use Aveeno Ultra Calming daily moisturizer and I love it. It's a little on the expensive side but one bottle lasts me about five months, give or take.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
