Supplements/Lotions for saggy arms and Neck?

Congratulations on losing weight!
I don’t know any creams that actually work, though I’d love to believe the bee venom really would.
The only thing I’ve found works for saggy arms is an Aquafit type class, followed by showering, then massaging moisturiser into your skin (to combat the chlorine).
I’ll be watching to see if GNs have any other tried and tested resources.

Well done on the weight loss. So this must be skin that has stretched and now needs tightening up and I guess the only thing that would do that is exercise, though a general moisturiser would help soften the areas I’m sure.

That’s me. Just under my chin is starting to crinkle, a bit like an overused rubber band after loosing two stone. I wondered if I put the weight back on will my chin go smoother again.
Plumper, or neck like a deflated ballon 🤔

I’ve heard needling? Is supposed to be good for loose skin.
Idea is to slightly damage the skin so that when it starts to repair itself, it builds new collagen.

Honestly?

Yes I won’t wear anything short, especially vest tops. Not a good look with baggy arms.

I can't see supplements or lotions doing any good, exercise sounds the thing to try, firm muscles, tightens your arms, take your time it will happen for you,you have done amazing already ,there's never a quick fix in a bottle regardless of how they promote it

I don’t think anything other than surgery can get rid of surplus skin. My niece knows a woman who has recently had all the loose skin removed from her inner thighs. It cost her £11,000 but she is very pleased with it. Years ago I knew a woman who lost about 10 stone and had surgery on her arms to remove hanging flesh. That was in the days when the NHS paid for it. She was also very pleased.

Exercise will only go so far, I know as I do weights quite a bit and there's only so far you can get.

But it's essential anyway so give shape and form to your arms if you decide on surgery or just make the most of firming creams.

I'm really not sure whether you could inject enough collagen for that amount of extra skin, tbh.

I agree with you Primrose
Over 20 years ago I had a tummy tuck because the only place I was putting on weight was my stomach, thin arms,thin legs,no hips or bum to speak of (still the same today )anyway I had the tummy tuck and I think it cost me £6000 back then, I had tried to exercise it away and it just wouldn’t go it was an apron of fat So yes, I think the only way you’re gonna actually do it is to pay for surgery and it’s not gonna be cheap not these days… But good luck

I’m pretty sure these days you can get it on a monthly payment plan which wasn’t possible when I decided to have my surgery, I went to the Nuffield for it

Long sleeves won’t hide a saggy neck.

3/4 sleeves and a pendant to divert attention away from the neck. I had fun ordering a cheap selection from Ebay, and wear them on a length of leather shoelace tied at just the right length.
Just remember that it is likely that nobody is looking at your saggy bits anyway.

One of those nice scarves you like for my crinkley neck.
Can you buy them in a fine material.
I do where a long, silk scarf but finding them incredibly hard to get hold of.

Wear 🤦‍♀️

I also have a selection of these skinny silk scarves to match various outfits.

I’ve long since given up on strappy dresses and tops. Much prefer a cap sleeve, drop shoulder or short sleeve in summer and winter is long sleeves anyway. Can’t imagine any lotion or cream is going to reduce copious wrinkles in the upper arms - I think only cosmetic surgery would do that and it would be expensive and painful. Love your bodies GNetters.

I think surgery or long sleeves are the only answer for "Bingo Wings".

I have a lovely friend who never,ever shows her arms because she feels very self conscious. One birthday I bought her some things that you wear with sleeveless dresses to cover your arms. She was really pleased. I will see if they are still made and give details.

These are the type of thing. There are some very cheapo ones on Temu and Ebay but I can’t imagine they are very nice.

The ones I bought her were lovely, lacy quality.

A time machine would be good

Those are gorgeous Primrose. Saving the reference.
Bingo wing exercises can give shape but only if the skin is not really loose. I find creams only last so long on the crepe look even with a decent shape under.

If you want to minimise it it means covering up or generous use of factor 50 when you expose them… sun does greatest rapid damage.

Oh, btw a tip that works for me. I realised that it is better with cream to massage by going dab dab dab with cream. Moving the arm skin tissues around just pulls them and the crinkles don't respond as well. I use cheap cream, Ceravive but lots and lots and its non greasy.

Yep, this is the answer. My arms seemed to go from normal to old and saggy overnight! 😳 I hate how they look (on anybody, sorry Grans) so just cover up. Don’t mind the neck so much but often wear scarves anyway.
