Skin tightening compositions and methods of use

A skin tightening composition comprising:

• a) about 2 to about 35 wt. % of at least one thickener chosen from polyamide-8, styrene ethylene/propylene copolymer, nylon-611/dimethicone crosspolymer, VP/EICOSENE Copolymer, fumed silicas, hydrophobically modified silica, silica silylate, clays, and a combination thereof;
• b) about 1.5% to about 13 wt. % of at least one filler, wherein the at least one filler is chosen from silica sylilate, nylon-12, silicone powder, polymethylsilsesquioxane, and a combination thereof;
• c) about 5 to about 45 wt. % of at least one hydrophobic film former;
• d) about 32 to about 85 wt. % of at least one volatile hydrocarbon,
• wherein the skin tightening composition is anhydrous and a weight ratio of the at least one hydrophobic film former c) to the at least one thickener a) is 1:2 to 8:1 (hydrophobic film former c):thickener a)), and
• wherein, all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the skin tightening composition.
