Has anyone had any success with helping speed up the tightening of their skin after weight loss, I mostly see it in my stomach, which could be in part to three pregnancies in less then 5 years as well, that and in my face.

I've read that drinking lots of water and exfoliant scrubs help. Have you tried any firming creams?

I drink lots of water, I will have to try doing an exfoliant scrub. I haven't tried any of the firming creams yet. I guess I should probably give it a shot. Thank you!

I am not saying it will work but I where gridle underwear. Not the size I am because they are to tight but a size or more bigger just to keep me from jiggling around and stop the bounce and stretch of my skin. Here's hoping it'll work a little.
