5 Products To Help Get Rid Of Crepey Skin

One of the perks of getting older is you get wiser, especially about the changes that arise during the later stage of life your skin is in. Naturally, mature skin shows some signs of aging but if you’re noticing more prominent issues like increased dryness, dullness, and crepey skin  — this means your old skin care routine might need an anti-aging upgrade. 

According to the Cleveland Clinic, sun damage is the primary cause of crepey skin, which causes visible signs of aging like dry, loose and often saggy skin to develop. You can protect and rehydrate your skin all at once by using an SPF moisturizer that contains lubricating and plumping ingredients like alpha or beta hydroxy acids or a product formulated with a high concentration of the newest and best ingredient for building up dry, crepey skin: hyaluronic acid. 

Hyaluronic acid is great because it boosts your skin’s moisture retention and helps plump up the skin's appearance while making crepey skin less noticeable over time. While there is no quick fix for treating crepey skin, these are the best SPF-based products to help minimize and prevent its effects for a more hydrated and healthy look.

With continued use, you’ll begin to notice a softer, visibly younger, more radiant-looking complexion.
