Lotion For Skin Toning...



Recommended Posts

I was reading in another thread that keeping your skin well-moisturized can possibly help lessen (not prevent) sagging skin. I'm all for trying anything to help - especially something that simple. I'm still pre-op but I'd like to get started with hydrating my skin now so it can be in the best shape possible for my post-surgery life.

Does anyone have any lotion/cream recommendations? Anything that you think worked really well for you?

Thanks!

The absolute best way to keep your skin moisturized is to keep hydrated. Drink lots of Water. As far as lotions my wife swears by maderma. I use utterly smooth/utter cream.

Try getting a cream with collagen. vaseline has one and so does St Ives. (Sp?). They are found in drug stores and are reasonably cheap. Lather it on all over. It will help temporarily prevent from sagging which might help stop the creation of more stretch marks.

And like OT said, drink, drink, drink. You must stay hydrated.

Anything with collagen. I use st ives skin renewing for my body and st ives timeless for my face. Both are inexpensive and have collagen elastin.

At first I didn't want to respond to this thread because I think that creams, potions, etc. do not help with skin sagging, moisturizing yes but tightening no. The only way to tighten skin (My opinion) is weight lifting and exercise. All other fixes are only short term. Good luck to you either way and if it makes you feel better or you think it is working for you then it works. :D:lol:

Meme, if people have really dry skin like me, lotions really do help. Granted, they are temporary fixes. And they do make the skin feel better and softer and sexier when glowing. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
