Any suggestions?
cutting fat out of our diets and this weight loss will effect our skin.

I suggest Arbonne products. Especially Re9 b/c they are all natural and do not have alcohol in them. Alochol and fragrances will dry your skin out and the mineral oil base, well, your skin doesnt absorb it, it just sits on the surface.

Any all natural moisturizer IMO, is better for your overall skin, and decreases the chances of infections from the fruity, girly soaps and lotions we love to use..

just my 2 cents
