Body mosituriser that firms

glowgirl_2

Sort of like this you mean, from Avon?

There are loads on the market, but IMO you can't go wrong with Liz Earle's range which smells absolutley heavenly.


I just thought, and I'm going to try it myself, maybe one of those body brushes to use in the shower to stimulate circulation might be good.

Thanks thats the type of thing I'm looking for but it dosent have to be a sun cream, I've just ordered from Avon as well and forgot I was looking for a body mosituriser - doh:o

I haven't yet found a body firming cream which actually firms, so good luck with that one- but there is Boots No.7 body serum (not sure of the cost, mine came with a Christmas gift) which is quite nice to use and also Nivea to a anti-cellulite gel which is supposed to rid you of cellulite (3rd bottle and it doesn't) its around £11 at the moment, was half price about a month ago. Both of those though are creams I have continued to use even after I have proved the theory wrong as they are easy to apply, quick to soak in/dry and smell good.

Good luck with your search.

The Dove one seems quite good, have only used it for a week or so & there is an improvement....and reasonably priced too!

I'm using the Jergens Naturals firming one at the moment. Not entirely sure whether it firms, but it's a nice moisturiser and I got a big tube for about £2.50 when it was half price recently.

I had a hunt around last night and found a bottle of Liz Earle anti cellulite and firming gel in my bathroom I tried it and its horrible:( I didnt like the smell but the texture and cool feeling was nice however I woke up this morning and my skin is as dry as parchment paper:mad: oh well, the search continues......thanks for the replies:)

if you're looking for overall firming, maybe consider taking MSM as a supplement - for some people this results in firmer skin and loss of fat too, and its supposed to be good for skin and hair. I think Im gonna start taking this and see how it goes! :beer:

My friend told me she uses Dove it firms almost strightaway.

I've used Nivea and Boots but both take 2-4 weeks apparently. Would be interesting to hear how others find the Dove one.

I use Palmers Firming Butter

Look for things with Q10 in.

Have you thought about using hazelnut oil ? it is well known for its firming properties... either mix with your normal cream or mix if other esential oils ?
