Katherine~

I read your post about using the soap on your belly for wrinkly skin. I suffer the same problem- wondering if you were seeing any results w/ it? I am currently taking BB and am seriously considering the soap for a boost- was especially interested in what you have to say about the results (if any) you were having on your stomach, though!

Thanks!

Hi, HS29!

Yes I've been using the blossom-s on my crepe paper tum...it's only been a couple of weeks, so I'm not going to jump up and down hollering "I"M HEALED!!!", however, I do believe that the skin is getting softer and smoother. The lines are still there but it is also too soon to know for sure. I'm very aware that this is a soap product, though quite mild (not getting the detergent itchies and I'm normally quite sensitive) so I make sure to use sesame oil (or other quality moisturizer) as well.I'm waiting for my St. Herb cream to come in, and even though its pricey, I'm planning on using a wee dollop of this on the belly after soap asap. I figure if PM is good at plumping breasts (and the creams are all about skin health + rejuvenation) it's worth a shot! :)

I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to you!

Hi ladies, What an interesting concept that it would tighen belly as well. I'll be watching to see how it goes for you, I'm luckier than some mothers in that area, but you just don't grow a person inside of you without having extra skin leftover :)

Check out these pictures. Thermage is definately a procedure that I will look into if the results are this good. The result on the belly is amazing! http://www.skintastic.com/services_thermage.html

Sorry, I didn't log in on that post above, it was from Sissy.

Sissy, Does looks good!

It was kind of weird in that for 3 years after having 3 kids, my skin seemed to bounce right back. No stretch marks or anything (hips and boobs a different story!). It's like my sun worshipping finally caught up w/ me and tummy skin said "listen up! I've been darn good to you and now you're pissing me off!" and slowly started to rebel as a later PS. I've been thinking of collagen/EsterC as well, but thought I'd take a go with what I already have at hand. Do that for 3 mos (same trial I give when changing nbe program) and see what happens. Time will tell! Compared to most of my friends who've experienced similar issues, I actually don't have much to complain about....So no obsession with this one, more curiosity. I'll leave the obsessing for the full B's (or A's......) :)

Congrats on a tummy that still show you love!

Thanks for the response Kat-- I may still give it a try.

Sissy- I have looked into Thermage and not only is it expensive, it is temporary. The results do not last. You'll get a couple of years out of it, but I'm not willing to keep going back every few years and keep paying for it over and over again!

I did do skin brushing for a time- but got bored w/ it. Bought the brush from T-Tapp. That thing is like a steel brush- ain't for the soft skinned- I can tell u that. Tried for 2 reasons- belly skin and cellulite. Probably didn't do long enuf to really see a difference. I do use a loofah in the shower every day- so I'm hoping it's like the same thing.

Sorry I keep laughing to myself about this one. Was thinking about how when I go South or to the beach in summer, as long as I stood up real straight there was no crinkling....Now I'd have to walk like an inverted crab to stretch that one out....or fellow bathers might think something was stuck were it shouldn't be!!!!LOL!!!!Attack of the Cucumber or something! Apologies, I'm a wee bit warped!

I know what you mean about standing a certain way and it looks better. When I say I'm luckier, I still have stretchmarks on my lower belly, and I'm worried what my belly skin will look like when I'm done, as I'm hoping to lose 30 more lbs this year. I used to really be upset by them, but I have seen my friends tummies and seen pictures on the internet of badly stretched bellies, and I don't complain anymore. My bikini days are over, except in a private spot in the back yard for sunbathing. Sounds like you are the luckiest of us all, no stretchmarks on your belly after three? Wow, that is great.

About the thermage treatments HS29, I thought I read that the results could be long term? It is expensive though, maybe the price will come down over the next few years. The results look so good it looks airbrushed. I might still keep that on my wish list, but in the meantime I will be more realistic and might try the soap. -- Sissy

We all have our crosses to bear, don't we? Good for you on your weight success thus far, and hope you reach your goals on all fronts. it's true, there's always someone worse off isn't there? Puts life in perspective but thank goodness a girl's got options!

Yes, I was very lucky with the stetched tummy, I did sesame oil like nobodies business. My derriere is another story. Except the 65 extra pounds made reach arounds rather difficult, I SHOULD have been oiling my ass, too!
Meh, can always fix that view by sitting on it!!!:)
