Creams that promise to tighten, smooth and lift sagging, dimpled or loose skin are always popular in the summer. The question, however, is do body firming creams actually work or are they just a waste of your hard-earned money?<\/p>\n<p>In the<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/realstylemagazine\/\">March 2018<\/a><\/span> issue of Real Style Magazine, we asked dermatologist Dr. Jessica Weiser with the New York Dermatology Group about the effectiveness of body firming creams. \u201cSome active ingredients in skin care products like hyaluronic acid can make the skin more firm or taut often by drawing water to the surface of the skin. Additionally, Retin-A\/retinol can stimulate collagen production. These products can soften fine lines and make skin appear smoother. Creams generally cannot produce elastin (the stretch fibers) in the skin or reverse skin laxity and stretch marks. Many cream effects can be temporary and reproduced daily when applied to the skin surface and achieve some sustainable improvements with consistent use.<\/p>\n<p>So, if your still in the market for a body firming cream, we\u2019ve pulled together some of the best reviewed body firming creams below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56432\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56432\" style=\"width: 338px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-56432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/ee-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nivea Skin Firming and Toning Gel Cream with Q10 Plus: $12.99<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56436\" style=\"width: 319px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/trr.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-56436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/trr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/trr.jpg 824w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/trr-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/trr-768x604.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bliss Fabgirl Firm Body Cream: $24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56437\" style=\"width: 298px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-56437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/356-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream: $57<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56440\" style=\"width: 334px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/453.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-56440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/453.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/453.png 643w, https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/beauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/453-276x300.png 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soap &amp; Glory Sit Tight Super Intense 4-D: $24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; With summer finally here, store shelves are lined with seasonal beauty products including the always popular body firming creams.
