Ever see crepe paper up close? It has those fine crinkles in it. That perfectly describes the appearance of skin when it is very dry or when it has been around for a few decades!
Why does getting older make us more likely to have crepey skin? Ageing brings many changes in the body and of course in the skin. But age is not the only culprit, some changes are caused by our own actions; like smoking, drinking, laying out in the sun as well as things we can’t easily control; like pollution, stress and poor health. Crepey skin is most commonly seen on exposed areas of arms, legs, décolleté and neck.
All these factors cause the skin to lose basic elements of structure, firmness and elasticity. Collagen and elastin decline and are not replaced efficiently. Regrettably the peak of collagen and elastin production is around age 29, after that it is all downhill……unless you take action!
I advise my patients to get into a daily regimen of good skin care to combat the appearance of aging by supporting the production of these important components of skin.
Establishing a daily skincare regimen focused on supporting collagen and elastin production can significantly improve the skin's texture and firmness. Additionally, incorporating targeted skincare products into your routine can help combat the visible signs of aging for a youthful-looking complexion.
One such solution the Crépe Erase® Age-Defying Body & Face Kit, a clinically tested skincare line specifically designed to target crepey skin. Formulated with TruFirm® Complex, a proprietary blend of potent ingredients, Crepe Erase products work synergistically to hydrate, nourish, and firm the skin, effectively reducing the appearance of crepey texture and restoring its natural resilience.
I often recommend Crepe Erase to my patients seeking effective solutions for crepey skin. Backed by clinical research and formulated with proven ingredients, Crepe Erase offers a comprehensive approach to addressing the visible signs of aging, helping individuals achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
To conclude, while crepey skin may be an inevitable part of the aging process, it doesn't have to define your appearance. With the right skincare regimen and the use of targeted products like Crepe Erase, you can reclaim smoother, firmer skin and embrace a more confident, youthful complexion.
