Smoothing Lumpy Thighs

I'm embarrassed to be naked in front of my new guy because of my lumpy thighs. Do body-firming lotions work?

Yes, skin-toning solutions can reduce the puckered appearance of cellulite, but to see real results, you need to use the lotions every morning and night for six to eight weeks. Clarins Total Body Lift, $57, uses three plant extracts ‑- uncaria tomentosa, geranium and agrimony ‑- to inhibit the storage of fat in the treated area and help eliminate it from your system. Neutrogena Anti-Cellulite Treatment Retinol Formula, $18.99, contains retinol, which stimulates cell renewal to help skin appear firmer and more even. These products provide short-term cosmetic results, but once you stop using them, your skin will start to slacken again. Exercise combined with a balanced diet is still the only recipe for a permanently firm body.
