Has anyone used any essential oils to help tighten their skin up? If so, how's it going? What are you using? 

 

Thanks in advance!!

sadly the only anything that helped was the coconut oil I used...after plastic surgery to remove the skin :/  the most you can do is improve texture and skin health but nothing will get rid of skin except surgery.

Thanks! I'm only 9 months out so surgery is in the distant future. I just need to do something about this wrinkly stomach akin to make it a bit more appealing to the eyes for now.

If your wrinkle stomach has those nice little stretch marks on it like most of us there is no oil or cream on this plant that will make it more appealing to the eyes sorry. 

Until you have PS (if you decide on it) you will unfortunately have to deal with the wrinkle stomach skin.

Sadly this is just a gimmick.  The only thing that will fix sagging skin is plastic surgery :/

Nope. Genetics plays a part. Age plays a part. Toning the muscles can help certain areas of the body (my butt looks ok but stomach? not so much.)

Obesity has damaged our skin. It's permanent damage and surgery is the only solution. Kind of like the stretched out elastic on an old pair of panties just can't snap back into shape.

There's no essential oil in the world that will tighten up excess skin from weight loss. You may have softer excess skin and you'll smell pretty but no tightening, sorry. Exercises will help with develop muscles and help the outcome of whatever plastics you may choose to have in the future but save those pennies for plastics.
