“I just love applying it daily-it has changed the look and feel of my dry, sensitive skin,” adds mbg beauty director Alexandra Engler. Rather, it’s a spreadable, breathable formula that melts upon application. Personally, I’m a big fan of the texture: It's not fluffy, like other whip-thick body creams, but it's also not too balmy, like a slick moisturizer that sits heavy on the skin. The entire mbg team cannot get enough of our ultra-hydrating body lotion. With shea butter, moringa seed oil, oat oil, and squalene, the formula also deeply hydrates-and keeping your skin ultra-moisturized is key to prevent any more sagging. Not to fret: Plenty of other healthy aging ingredients on the market can help your skin look soft and supple-like coenzyme Q10 (which helps skin cells literally act younger), aloe vera, botanical oils, and targeted-biotic ingredients, all of which are included in mbg’s star body lotion. If you have sensitive skin, you might find ingredients that promote cell turnover (like retinol and AHAs) a little difficult to tolerate. Given the derms' top tips, might we suggest a lotion that can do both? Below, find the best moisturizing players that also slough the skin smooth. And according to board-certified dermatologist Amy Ross, M.D., exfoliating and promoting cell turnover are also key: "Using an exfoliant (whether chemical or physical) will improve the appearance of crepey skin quickly," she says.

"Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize-this can improve the appearance," board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D., told us about how to treat crepey skin.

While the best remedy for the tissue-like skin is to delay it in the first place, it is possible to tighten the skin and prevent any more sagging. Crepey skin (or when your skin resembles a fragile sheet of crepe paper) happens for a few reasons: Most notably, the thin appearance is exacerbated by a lack of hydration, loss of collagen, and diminished cell turnover-processes that are affected by the natural course of aging as well as environmental influences, like sun exposure, smoking, and pollution.Īs a result, those larger sun-exposed areas tend to turn crepey most quickly: think upper arms, neck, legs, etc.
