Since sun exposure is the main cause of crepey skin, using high SPF sunscreen daily is virtual to prevent and minimize it. Skin creams and moisturizes and also help when they are fortified with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which boosts hydration in the skin.
It is important to be realistic when considering beauty and skincare. Creams and at-home skin care products will not provide dramatic results. These are recommended as maintenance and treatment options, however, for longer-lasting or dramatic results, patients can try one of the following procedures:
Crepey skin is a term that refers to the appearance of very thin, fragile, and finely wrinkled skin that resembles crepe paper. In some cases, it can also be loose or saggy. Crepey skin can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appears under the eyes, on the inner side of the upper arm, and above the knees.
The primary cause of crepey skin is sun damage, which causes the collagen and elastin that ordinarily keep skin supple and firm to break down at a faster rate.
Aging is another factor, collagen production naturally ceases in the 20s and 30s, which can lead to the onset of crepiness if not prevented. Weight fluctuations can also contribute to this common concern.
