Tightening skin?

So I'm 7 months out and I've lost 115 lbs...needless to say I have a little bit of loose skin, although i am actually lucky because it's not a lot. Any recommendations on home remedies, loations or exercises that help firm/tighten skin?

For the benefits of both. I don't like the texture of re oil alone and it seems to soak in better mixed with the lotion. I also sometimes mix lubriderm in it as well

*the oil alone. Sorry typo

Time. Seriously. 7 months of rapid weight loss, your skin needs time to catch up. I have loose skin but saw a noticeable improvement between year 1 and year 2. I also work out regularly and hit my water goals.

I don't think a cream will help. Exercise & toning is the key. I lost 95 lbs at one point and toned most of my body except my inner thighs which were beyond toning and tightening loose skin. All depends on your skin's elasticity.
