Congrats on your weight loss. Many factors determine how your skin will react to such weight loss: your age, overall health and how long you were carrying the extra weight.
The most important thing to do is keep your skin hydrated and fresh. Drink lots of water. Any lotion with vitamins A and E and colagen will be good for your skin -- even olive oil! Something to exfoliate and encourage circulation in the skin like a loofah mitt or sea sponge will help, too. Exercise will also help improve your skin's tone.
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on losing the weight!
Straight cocoa butter is supposed to be good for tightening skin, or as people have mentioned, you could try olive oil...but not not not baby oil. It is not natural. It'll soften your skin up but it won't do anything for the health or tightness.
Try using a brush of some kind (I have a synthetic one but you can get cactus bristles and all sorts) and use that to gently exfoliate in clockwise circles every day, it works a treat, and then you can try massaging in something like cocoa butter. The brushing and massaging gets the circulation going and greatly improves the circulation of the skin.
Good luck! :o)

As far as my knowledge exercise is the only method to tighten the skin, which has become loose after loosing weight. Oil massage can also help but I don't think baby oil will be appropriate for the same. Body toning and firming exercises will be fine. You can consult a gym instructor to know more about the exercises.

First thing u have to do is u need to drink water as much as possible. Atleast 8 to 12 glasses of water per day.
Drinking water gives glow to your skin and skin gets tightened. Fruit facial once in a week or 10 days also helps your skin to be healthy and stiff.

There are products made specifically to help tighten the skin. They work a little like starch. They are usually sold as anti-cellulite creams or skin tighteners.
For a description of how they work,. the effective ingredients to look for and some suggested products, visit http://www.ageless-beauty.com/cellulite-one.html.

A routine body massage would be the best home remedy for your condition. Use of oil during the massage would be helpful too.
Best wishes !

Mix baking soda with 3% hydrogen peroxide with non-fluoridated toothpaste(from the health store) and brush your teeth. The baking soda and hydrogen peroxide will whiten your teeth, the toothpaste is for the taste. Also if you get a bad after taste from the hydrogen peroxide just use some mouthwash. A little bit of advice, Dont use Fluoridated toothpaste, it actually decays your teeth and your bones slowly. Drink either distilled water or reverse osmosis water with no fluoride.

Moisturizing is good but don't use baby oil.......ugh.. petroleum products are not the best for nourishing the skin.
Excercise and give it some time, you may be surprised.
Plastic surgery is probably in your future.
