Loose skin

I'm sure that others in this WOL have experience with loose skin. I'm starting to notice that my arms are looking extra wobly these days due to the excess skin hanging off of it. I'm curently trying to work out my arms and I bought Vaseline Firming lotion. Does anybody have experience with these lotions and do they actually work? I'm hoping for some toning results in a matter of 4 weeks (that's the first wedding I'm in this year) and I'm planning on wearing a strapless dress.

Try supplementing with Borage oil and start dry skin brushing. Those two combined do grat things for the skin's elasticity.

Exercise works best!

Nothing can replace exercise. I have had a radical change in my body with regular exercise. Toning with weights will build your arm muscles and give you the shape you desire. The skin will shrink. It just takes a while. It is so important to exercise from the begining to avoid the excess skin. God luck and I now you will look great in your dress at the wedding!!
