Body Toning Lotion: 5 Secret Ingredients Discovered

When exercise just isn’t enough, you can try a body toning lotion that will help tighten and firm your skin. This is not to be confused with toning lotions that are supposed to act as a stringent (disinfectant that cleans out pores) for your face.

Using a body toning lotion is especially critical as you age. After about the age 21-24, your skin starts producing less collagen and elastin, and even less or none as you get older. The consequence? Wrinkles, loose skin, cellulite, and crepiness (as found on hands and décolleté area).

While there are a slew of products that target facial wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes, there are fewer choices out there for body toning lotions that are specifically designed for …well…the entire body.

When choosing a body toning lotion, be sure not to be fooled by products that blatantly say they contain collagen and elastin. This is misrepresentative as these proteins applied to the skin cannot make your skin produce just that.

Instead, look for body toning lotions that contain ingredients proven to fortify the skin – meaning that it helps the skin become firmer and more toned by helping the skin re-produce collagen and elastin. Also look to see if it has antioxidant ingredients. Take your search one step further – find the research that a specific product is effective! If a company purports that your skin will become firmer, do they have research that verifies that claim?

I did find a brand new product that will be out on the market and available to consumers in mid-March 2010. As I researched the ingredients, the new body toning lotion contains the following ingredients:

1. Acai Berry Extract & Vitamin E (antioxidants). I haven’t seen any other body toning lotion that contains Acai Berry Extract.
2. Pumpkin Extract (stimulates collagen)
3. Argan Seed Extract (stimulates vital proteins)
4. Hawthorn Berry Extract (accelerates breakdown of fat)
5. Caffeine & Coffea Arabica Seed Extract (boosts the cells energy levels)
6. And 6 other antioxidant ingredients that reverse the signs of dry and damaged skin.

The manufacturer claimed that when using the body toning lotion (Based on an 8-week independent consumer study):

1. After 2 weeks, 94% of women said their skin looked smoother.
2. After 4 weeks, 3 out of 4 women said their skin looked toned.
3. After 4 weeks 81% said their skin looked firmer.
4. After 8 weeks, 68% said that their body contours appeared firmed.
