I've been using an Avon Body Contouring cream. Really like the smell and my skin is so soft after each use. Think it's helped a little but nothing like good old toning exercises to do that job!!
Palmers cocca butter, or boots olive extracts I think it is
Hi Scotsmist
I have to admit im abit of 'eco' friendly girl, so I use pure unrefined shea butter - not the refined white stuff or the stuff you find in commercial creams with coco butter in them. The geunine shea doesnt come in a jar it looks a lot like a lump of yellow type clay, but it really really does work wonders for your skin, in keeping its elasticity, moisturing and firming and fading stretchmarks! Its relatively inexpensive and lasts ages. I think its because it has natural healing factors in it. My brother got stabbed 9 weeks ago through his arms and knuckles, had to have platic surgery and from using the shea butter his wounds and arms have improved dramtically!
The palmers coco butter is very good too which was what i used a few years back !

Hi Scotsmist,
I used the Palmers firming cocoa butter, but after using nearly one whole bottle in a little over the week, I kid you not, I thought one of these two things could happen:
1) I would run out of money before I ever got to the end of this diet.
2) Palmers would have such a run on sales they would think half the population of Ireland was using it.
So I think I will stick to dry body brushing for now and just use any of the creams I have, tanning, smellies etc. to use them up and keep skin supple and when I have lost a lot more weight I will go back to the Palmers, or try J-Lo's unrefined shea butter one.
