skin firming creams & exercises

[Linda51]

Does anyone know which is the best skin firming cream, the skin on my arms seem to have gone a bit loose looking, and also what is the best exercise for those floppy bits (batwings) I do swim a lot but there doesn't seem much improvement. Hope someone can help.

"Skin firming" cream does not work. There has been a big thing in the news over the past few days about how all these cosmetics companies are misleading thousand and thousands of people with their adverts etc.

Regular cardio vascular exercise (swimming is good) and a light weights programme will tone the muscles in your arms to give the appearance of tighter skin.

Gevs is correct, as was dicussed on here a few weeks ago, all of these so called skin rejuvinating/firming/wrinkle removing etc etc creams are a total waste of your (considerable amounts of) money.

Hi I have made some improvements to my arms by regular exfoiliation of the skin using any body exfoiliating products at least twice per week. Dove firming cream body lotion is brilliant as a moisturiser. False tan will also improve the appearance. To transform your arms and shoulders by excercise then I suggest you buy a copy of David Kirsch's New York Body Plan (Book and DVD together are about �20 on Amazon) The upper body excercises are wonderful and he advises drinking a whey protein shake after excercises to help build lean tissue. You will need to do the excercises at least four times per week.You will notice a big difference inas little as two weeks.
