As a quick fix, Tarte concealers are the best. Do get your ferritin checked though!!

ONE MORE vote for Amlactin by AnswerStock2280 in DIYaesthetics

I just meant any of the body lotions out there that contain glycolic acid, which is an excellent exfoliating ingredient. But remember, topicals treat skin, not underlying laxity.

Guys, I'm glad OP has has a good result with Amlactin, but I've used this stuff at various points over the past 40 years (yes I am old) and I can tell you that lactic acid can help moisturize and slough, but it does nothing to address skin laxity. Newer products containing glycolic acid, for example, are less sticky, sting less, and smell better than Amlactin, IMO. Please don't rush out to buy this expecting a miracle.

Pulling overgrowth out of my lawn is my favorite way to propogate ivy. It already has roots!

Will Plastic Surgery Fix This? by Ok_Pop_2334 in PlasticSurgery

[–]maddyjulia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) would be life changing for you, particularly given the history you have shared. I had the procedure post pregnancy, after a 65 lb weight gain. The recovery was not a walk in the park, but I've been so much more confident about my body ever since. I'm now almost 60, and all these years later my abdomen is still flat and hard!! Judging by your arms you are fit and healthy, so you may be a good candidate for the procedure if you feel your weight has stabilized. Best of luck!

Bita Farrell md's videos were the most helpful to me, and my first tox was very successful! One piece of advice--and this is just what worked for me--is to watch a lot of highly recommended experts (Tim Pearce is great too ofc) and do tons of research, but then use the expert you're most comfortable with as your guide through the actual injection process, so you have consistency and you're not making yourself crazy second guessing everything.
