loose skin

Does anyone know of any lotions, potions, pills, drinks, etc that will help bring the elastic (?) back in the skin. I have a couple of months before surgery and I figure if any thing helps even slightly I should start now. please respond.

I have been using Jergins Skin Firming lotion - Walmart, about $4, after reading several Amazon.com reviews saying people were having good results. I figured for $4, it was worth a try. I don't know how well it's working because I have nothing to compare it to.

Don't know if it is going to help with the floppity flopperies, but my surgery is 12/23 next Monday, and for the last three months I have been exfoliating every other time in the shower, with exfoliating gloves. The I rub sweet almond oil or a collagen moisturizing lotion all over the place. Only time will tell, but I must say, my skin is softer than it has ever been, and I am 62 years old!

Dry brushing before you take a shower/bath helps too. Moisturize with Almond oil and Castor oil combo.
