crepey skin ALREADY?????
 
I'm not even out of my forties and the skin on my chest (decollete) has this weird texture. I don't know if it is crepey or maybe cellulite (I am pretty overweight still). When I wash my hands after using the bathroom I notice it the most because I am very tall and I have to really bend forward to get my hands in the bowl and I always glance at myself in the mirror! Boom, there it is. Yikes!!!:(

I didn't sunbake myself in my younger years so I'm actually hoping it is cellulite because maybe that will go away when I lose all my weight? Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried skin brushing or taking MSM at all? I recently lost 104 Lbs and noticed my skin was getting a bit "loose" about half way through. So I started MSM supplements along with daily skin brushing for about 3-4 minutes every day. My skin seemed to tighten up and smooth out within a few short weeks.

I did gain a lot of the weight back but have kept up with the brushing and MSM and my skin still feels great.

What do you brush your skin with?

I use the one on the left. You can find types like the one on the right at most drugstores or retail stores in the beauty/bath area. These are both listed on Amazon if you search for "dry skin brush".

And here's a link I posted in another thread about how to do the brushing and it's benefits:

Skin brushing sounds easy, inexpensive and harmless. So, I will most certainly try it! Wish me luck
