Weight loss ,need Skin care advice

Hey all I’m looking for some advice. I’ve recently had a bypass and the weight is dropping off me. I was 17st 9 at my heaviest and I’m currently 14st13. Which is great but my skin is starting to feel “crepey?” On my stomach as my flab is reducing. Are there any creams that can help this? I am taking collagen, the 5 type one and I’ve got to say I’m loving it. But is there anything else?

also looking for recs for a facial skin care routine. I’m 45, not really prone to breakouts at all, I get maybe 3-4 spots a year. And I’m a natural redhead with , I don’t know, normal skin? Maybe sun damage as I’ve got a lot more freckles these days than I had previously. I really want to try and keep my skin as tight and firm as possible or I’m going to look like I’m melting like a candle 😂.

got a budget of about £60 to get started

thank you in advance!

I'm an older woman - 65. I inadvertently lost 2 stones, put it back on again...was left with 'orrible arms. Nivea Firming Extra Nourishing Q10 has made a big difference.

I've since lost the 2 stones again but have also been weight training and that's helped as well. (When I lost the weight the first time, I lost muscle tone.)

My worst area is probably my inner thighs. I forgot about creaming them, unfortunately. (I'd creamed my stomach.) The cream is now helping to an extent and I'm also trying to build up muscle there.

At my heaviest, I was above 16st 4lbs. Currently 14st 4lbs.

Thank you, I’ll order that Nivea right now. I know I’ll likely need a tummy tuck in the future as my baby apron is pretty floppy when it’s not full of fat and I have a terrible case of separated /split tummy muscles. But the cream will definitely help in the mean time!
