Let’s start with a little self-love: Your skin is beautiful as it is—with every line, stretch mark, and wrinkle. That said, the best tightening body lotion can help if you’re looking to get the look of firmer, smoother, and more even-textured skin.

(No wonder retinol body lotions are having a moment.) With that in mind, here are the best tightening body lotions packed with firming ingredients to help you look and feel your best.
