Crepey Skin? Let's start a body care routine!

Hello, At Organic Body Shop, we prioritize all your skincare needs. Recently, many clients have been inquiring about crepey skin. We have some suggestions!

What is crepey skin? Crepey skin is a term used to describe skin that appears thin, wrinkled, and saggy, resembling the texture of crepe paper. It's often associated with aging, sun damage, and loss of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity

What to do? To restore the loss of elasticity, we recommend a body scrub. Then apply a body oil or a body lotion. 

Why Scrub? Body scrubs, especially those with natural exfoliants, can help improve the appearance of crepey skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This can lead to smoother, firmer, and more elastic skin, potentially reducing the crepey texture.

By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, scrubs can help moisturizers penetrate more effectively, leading to better hydration. The physical action of scrubbing can increase blood flow to the skin, which may contribute to firmer, more elastic tissue. 

We recommend a body scrub daily,  once a week, or once a month. Depending on how you feel. You will see instant results.  We offer scrubs in a lotion blend or a magnesium salt and oil blend. We also have scrub in a coconut and sugar blend. Have a look at the scrub section below.

What to moisturize with after a body scrub? Body Lotion or Body Oil?

Why use a lotion? We recommend using a body lotion as it penetrates more effectively after a body scrub. Organic body shop lotions with glycerin, sunflower, shea butter plus other hydrators can help minimize the appearance of crepey skin by moisturizing, plumping, and improving skin texture. Lotions, can also stimulate collagen production and speed up skin cell turnover, potentially improving skin firmness and elasticity over time.

Why use a body oil? Organic body shop body oils are rich in nourishing oils, which can help to replenish the skin's moisture barrier and improve elasticity. They absorb into the skin, and we often recommend the body oil for very dry skin. But all skin will benefit. Body oils can help address crepey skin because they're highly effective at moisturizing and locking in moisture, improving skin elasticity, and promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance. Oils are occlusive, creating a barrier that prevents water loss and helps to keep skin hydrated, which is crucial for reducing the appearance of crepey skin. Additionally, many body oils contain nutrients like vitamin E and antioxidants, which can further support skin elasticity and improve overall skin health. Organic body shop massage and body oils will absorb leaving your skin with a healthy glow.
