Ok, Ladies, since we're on the personal side...

[MickeysMommy]

Do those firming lotions really work? You know like Jergen's Firming Lotion or Nivea or Olay? I'd kinda like to "firm up"

 

[Maleficent13]

I have never tried one, but after it may be time!

 

[NMAmy]

I've never tried one, either. Every time I start "unfirming" I start walking more on the darn treadmill. I'm actually at an "unfirm" time right now--I have a hard time committing to doing it until I actually really need it!

Never tried one either. I really don't believe they work. And if they do work somewhat, I think it is only for about 30 minutes when the active ingredient is first put on.

Why, oh why, to women's thighs have to be so yucky??

Have you ever noticed that on men, no matter how big their stomachs are or how awful they look, their legs NEVER age??? Skin is still firm, no bumps, lumps, etc.

It's not the lotion, it's the fact that your are massaging in the lotion. Try just massaging that area and see what happens. And yes very temporary fix.

Squats and lunges work better.

If they did work we'd all be bathing in it!!

Mickey's Mommy, LOVE your signature!!

I use them, every day. Do they really help? Who'll know? I don't use just that! I do weight watchers, I go to the gym, I shower with firming shower gel and I use firming body lotion (a different one for my thighs and breasts. the one for my breasts smells SO good!!!!!!!! Hey, I don't want to risk to have them hanging on my knees by the time I'm 50!). I mean, after all, you have to use a shower gel and body lotion anyway, so if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt!

And it's also the idea that counts!!

Christine - I totally agree! DH has a beer belly, but he's still got great legs and this nice tight butt.... yum!

Thanks, Robin. He's great isn't he?

I've been trying the Dove one for the past couple weeks but it's got such a heavy fragrance to it, I'm not sure I'll continue. Plus, for some reason now the scent smells a bit off. It doesn't smell quite like it did when I first started it---the tube's only a couple weeks old though! Haven't noticed a difference much, other than my skin not being dry for once. But I can get that result for a lot cheaper!

 

[ReggieB]

There is no amount of lotion that would firm me up!!!

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Well, the best things to do is to exercise, drink lots of water and use regular moisturizing lotion. If your skin doesn't keep moist, then it can start to sag and/or wrinkle.

I think a lot of the "firming" lotions are nothing but an excuse to charge more money.

As for a sagging chest, get good supporting bras and wear them. If you don't have a good supporting bra, you are more likely to start sagging earlier.
