Suggestions For Firming Cream?



Recommended Posts

Nivea is pretty good for firming and Palmers oil for stretch marks. It's made for pregnant bellies. :-). The firming creams only help a little but I noticed my skin was less wrinkly but still sagging. Sigh.

I'm an independent distributor for It Works and we have the Ultimate Body Applicator. Check out my website. Our wraps work wonders to tighten tone and firm!

I used the gel this morning. Luckily I have about 3 bottles of it and several wraps from when I used to sell it

Not to be the sad news bringer... But no amount of cream, workouts, drinking Water, oils or massages are going to bring sagging skin back... Those work great on people who have gained 50 lbs or less. Anymore than that and you're really just wasting your money. I say save your money for cosmetic surgery.

Think of it this way: you open a package of balloons. They're small and crisp and tight. You start to blow air into the tight balloon. It stretches and stretches and stretches. When you let the air out the balloon shrinks but it doesn't go back to that tight small balloon you first blew up. ... Are you following here...

I just don't want anyone to be sad and disappointed when you don't end up with that tight beach body you're dreaming of. You'll look wonderful and feel amazing. But creams just don't work for tightening that amount of loose skin. Take it from me. I lost 185 lbs and 5 years later after spending hundreds of dollars on creams and lotions, drinking tons of water and actually spending another couple hundred dollars on a personal trainer...all the money and years later I could see a small difference. I could feel my tighter muscles.. But it was all under my flapping skin... Oh oh and also I had my surgery done when I was 22. No matter how young you are if you lose a giant amount of weight your skin is not bouncing back.

Thanks for the advice but I will still try to do something. If I lose 100 percent of my excess it will be an 80 to 90 lb loss and im going to try to avoid surgery

Actually it's different for everyone. Genetics is the first way to know, u also have to do weights a lot bc of the amount of muscle were losing so fast. Drinking water and keeping ur skin moistened. Of course this works best before u get loose skin but may help some if u already have it.

Your right! If lotion will make ppl feel great & smell good I'm all for it but if you think your skin will bounce back it won't. I'm going to be 34 tomorrow. My family have the good genetics we don't age or get wrinkle before time. I had surgery 6 months ago. I use firming lotion but you think the crap is working nope!!! I'm saving my money for plastic surgery. Plastic surgery isn't for everyone it's expensive but I rather do it here in NYC then go out of the country & be butcher or die. Here I have a chance of staying alive & the surgeon is a friend of the surgeon who did my gastric bypass. If lotion makes you feel good do it but take it from me it does nada! If I think about it I need a complete body lift but would have to win the lottery 1st. I'm doing one thing at a time. In due time I will have the body I want.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
