Crepey skin (dry, thin, wrinkled skin) is one of the problems many women face starting in their 50's and it progresses with age. The use of moisturizers can help, but most women benefit from a series of daily habits to truly decrease this nagging problem that impacts how women over 60 can comfortable dress in the hot summer months instead of dressing to cover up their crepey skin. A healthy change in diet, increase in water intake, along with a regimen of weight lifting combined with the use of moisturizers is the key to seeing a remarkable change in the texture of your skin. Start changing your daily habits today and you will see your whole body change, not just your skin!


I have discovered to truly reduce crepey skin, you must implement a combination of steps to decrease crepey skin. Hydrating from within by drinking water, eating a nutritious diet, lifting heavy weights to build muscle under the skin, and moisturizing twice daily are crucial in firming skin.

Follow these steps below and you will be on your way to firm skin:
Steps To Reduce Crepey Skin
To keep dehydration at bay, petite women over 60 should drink half their body weight in ounces. So, if you weight 105 pounds, you should be drinking about 53 ounces, (6-7 cups) of water each day.
Moisturize twice daily, preferably after a bath to lock in the moisture.
Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times weekly and follow with moisturizer.
Wear sunscreen daily.
I have seen some benefit from using an Amazon micro-current red light device along with a NAD Peptide lotion and a hyaluronic acid serum. This uses gentle current along with warmth and red light to stimulate the skin cells. Unlike micro-needling, it does not cause any bleeding.
Green Willow Soap Co in Ellijay, Ga. has a natural potion that I have observed to help alleviate crepey skin. Radiance skin treatment has 2 different solutions made naturally when mixed together produce good results for providing the moisture under skin needed to plump it up and alleviate the appearance of crepiness.

Eat a nutritious diet composed of lean proteins, antioxidants, and omega 3 fats. Avoid sugar, alcohol, and processed foods because those foods increase inflammation.
Weight resistant training helps to build muscle and makes crepey skin less apparent.


Implementing daily tips to reduce crepiness will keep you feeling and looking vibrant in your 60's and beyond.
