As we get older, our skin changes. Around 40, many people begin to notice they have “crepey skin” on their neck, chest, and even their hands.
What Causes Crepey Skin?
Skin on the body is fundamentally different from skin on the face and décolletage. Our face may get wrinkles from repeated muscle movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting; but body skin ages for different reasons.
Elastin fibers in the body’s skin allow it to stretch and return to its normal position, but over time these fibers break down and eventually lose their ability to heal completely, producing crepey skin.
Many factors contribute to this condition: sun damage, dehydration, lifestyle factors, or significant fluctuations in weight. But the good news is that there are solutions for minimizing the appearance of crepey skin.
Here are some tips to help you look your best:
