I have asked on here about firming up loose skin, and I can see it's a topic that often comes up, so I thought I would try some products and see if they work!
I know a sample size of one is not exactly representative, but though I would see whether I can firm up my belly... if anyone else wants to try, with any products or methods you fancy, please do join in!
I've still got 24lbs to go till I'm at target, but my belly is the worst bit of my body - it is where I tend to store fat easiest, and lose it last, and it's a little saggy - and I am concerned it will look worse as the last of the weight goes...
So far, I have (occasionally) been using palmers firming lotion, but I have recently bought Nivea 'My Silhouette' gel (which claims to have measureable effects, reducing masurements by up to 3cm) and a body brush... I'm going to give my flabby belly a good brush every day, and apply the gel twice a day.
I will take measurements, and pictures and see if the brushing and gel seems to have any effect... I will log my progress and post measurements on here, but may not be brave enough to post the pics!
Wish me luck!
(I will also be trying to lose the rest of the weight, so any inches lost may just be due to weight loss, but I am really keen to see if the skin can be firmed up and look less loose along the way!)
