Default Saggy face and neck

I've noticed my face and neck have started to go a big saggy and I still have a way to go yet.

Any recommendations for firming creams etc that work?

I'm moisturising like mad, take zinc most days, face masks twice a week......or is this just inevitable middle-age (I'm 44)?

I would give it some time. You lose weight so quickly on this program that your skin probably gets taken by surprise. It sounds like you are doing all you can, but time is often a great healer

I swear by Bio-Oil....my neck used to get real 'turkey like' when I lost weight but I don't have that problem anymore!

Bio Oil is something you rub into your skin.

I used it when pregnant for stretch marks. Don't know if it helped because I still had stretch marks but they might have been worse without it? It is supposed to be good for scarring etc - generally good for you. I am planning on starting to use it again leading into winter. We all need to moisturise in winter so it can't hurt I figure!

Sorry for the delay in replying Bronwyn....Bio-Oil is the brand name & the maker....I don't know if you eBay but that is generally the cheapest place to buy it
