Loose Skin...Tips?

[justathing2me 146]

I have lost 92lbs so far and I feel like I'm trying everything to tighten my loose skin! Ab exercises, exfoliating, firming lotions and now I'm going to try dry brushing My dry brush just came in the mail yesterday! Has anyone ever tried this? Your results? I don't qualify for a Tummy Tuck according to my insurance and I'm understanding to that. It's really for my own self image and I have seen severe cases.I consider my loose skin minimal and I have had 4 children but there must be something besides surgery that can help. Please share what has worked for you. Thanks!!

I have not heard of dry brushing, but I have heard of something called Skinny Wraps that people have been talking about. Do not know what it entails, but you can look it up. Seems like a lot of people have had good luck with it. Maybe someone will chime in about it.

Unfortunately loose skin can't be shrank. Either it shrinks as you lose or you're stuck with it.

It all depends on genetics, age, weight lost, skin elasticity, whether you smoke or not, and how long you carried the extra weight.

Muscles beneath the skin can tighten, which will help appearance

Btw, all those wraps are gimmicks. They are all temporary by either diuretics or thermogenics and if you ever stop using them you expand again.

LOL! No magic, what about a miracle then? I would love to have a Tummy Tuck ( I think) when I get back where I need to be, just concerned about the whole process and recovery time. May just keep all my old saggy skin! LOL!
