Crepy Skin

BornToShop — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:26:51 GMT

All of a sudden at 65 years young, I have developed crepy skin all over, ugh. I have done some research & so far the highest rated & recommended lotions are Eucerin Plus, Clarins Moisture-Rich Body Lotion & First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cresm. Any recommendations out there or any other tried & true lotions that have worked? TIA!

Body brushing, Dead Sea Salt baths and Isomers really helps my body skin.

You can't restore elasticity to the skin. Moisturizers help with the appearance but most of the products are ineffective and pricey.

If you have recently experienced considerable weight loss then crepiness can happen. Building muscle mass on your body with exercise may help to fill out the loose skin but won't make it go away completely. Other than a medical procedure, there really isn't any magical cream that will make it go away.

HotandFlashy has a youtube video on this subject. She recommended Alpha Skincare Revitalizing Body Lotion which is 12% glycolic acid. It's a 12 oz bottle and costs around $18.

@BornToShop My suggestion is Acure Organics Light Body Oil. It comes in a light rose scent or orange. You will find it on their website. I find that oils whether it's Argan or Marula really diminiish the look of lines and wrinkles. The light body oil would be excellent for you skin. It may be sold at iherb.com or Vitacost too. Good luck.

Same with me now at 65 even with frequent exfolliating. I have found Consult Beaute (Evine) Champagne Beaute Lift Firming Body Creme and it has done wonders for me. I don't think any product will get rid of it all but I have been using it for nearly a year now and my knees barely have any crepiness. My arms (which have always been firm and toned) started to have crepiness especially on the inner and especially upper part and now the forearm is crepe free and barely noticeable on the inner upper arms. I know you can't stop it but you sure can minimize it. For me well worth it. Also Consult Beaute Volumagin for hands has plumped and made my hands very smooth.

Everything doesn't work for everyone but this is what works for me.

Sadly there is no cure for crepey skin. It is a break down of collagen in the skin which usually happens with age but sun exposure really plays havoc on that. Some creams will give a slight improvement but nothing will totally will get rid of it. Some people rave about body brushing. You may want to try that.

There can be many reasons people develop creapy skin but a major contributor is medications.

I take prednisone for my asthma and even at very low doses it gives one many side effects - like weight gain around your mid section and creapy skin. However, since I prefer easy breathing over feeling I'm suffocating I put up with the side effects.

I've been using the Alpha lotion 12% for quite some time. Imo it's the best lotion for me. I usually wait until Alpha has their BOGO and that's when I stock up for the year. It keeps my skin very moisturized and virtually flake free with visibly less wrinkles. In other words...very smooth!

I am using the Alpha Hydrox Body Lotion also. Not a miracle worker but I definetly see an improvement.

@Tricolor I tend to agree. I asked my derm after wasting a lot of $ on creams/lotions. Like cellulite...no cure.

I have really good luck using Cetaphil on my skin . It contains almond oil which has vitamins like c,a,and d and help the skin . I use it on my face. When I apply ot it does seem a bit greasy , I wait a few minutes and let some of it absorb, I have extemly dry skin . Then I take a kleenex and dab all the excess and leave a tiny bit which I then rub into my skin , The next morning my skin looks great , I get many compliments . I tell them cetaphil annd theyy don't seem to believe me . But thats it.

I found if I use an olive oil body scrub (philosophy) first and follow with a body butter my skin stays plumper longer. I do the scrub 3 times a week. I'm 67 and my arms just started to look crepy this fall.

@SilleeMee ITA. Crepey skin is loss of elasticity, lack of collagen underneath the skin to fill it out and sun damage. Just like cellulite, it ain’t pretty, but not much we can do about it.
