No

YES !!! a resounding yes - and the help is ridiculously cheap and great- smelling !

Beautiful soaps creams n gels U would have chosen 2 use anyway but these work exeprionally well to tighten up loose skin, banish wrinkles ... a facelift in a jar essentially .

Before U scoff ( like I did ) rich wimmen pay THOUSANDS of dollars for facial creams ... and they were smart enuf to marry a rich hubby ( unlike me ) ... so Im willing 2 learn!

Anything containing Salycilic acid 2% like Neutrogena's $7.00 Grapefruit scented gentle body scrub significantly helps tighten loose skin cure wrinkles and rejuvenate the face , neck and decolletage ( I hate a wrinkly bosom with a " young" face dont you ? ) and even helps with skin tags , sun spots and so forth ( of course wearing and reapplying sunscreen everywhere the sun reaches - arms , hands back of neck as well as face is essential too ).

Getting out in the sun body - wise also helps a LOT .

Body parts we're ashamed to expose never shrink and get better ... I just let it all hang loose tummy skin underarm bra overhang and all ... funny guys still seem to find me attractive ... and if they dont - well who needs a critical entitled a- hole anyway ?

Hope this helps . Rolling off the loose skin after soaking in a soothing jacuzzi - bath really helps tighten things up too . (((())))

Frankly the New York Times INFURIATES me .

I STILL cant read the article because their persistent popups demanding money for a " free trial " etc keep blocking it .

I hope they realize their choices are on the fast road to bancruptcy .

Too bad so sad for a worthy publication.
