Skin creping is an unfortunate consequence of aging. Crepey skin is caused by the substantial loses in the collagen bundle content beneath your skin. It can most often be found in areas of the body that are most exposed to the sun as well as under necks, arms and legs. As the body ages, it no longer is able to replace collagen and the result is crepey skin.
Once crepey skin appears it can be treated with various plastic surgery procedures including dermal fillers and laser treatments. However these procedures are often only temporary and need multiple sessions.
Luckily there are many topical products on the market that can help prevent and reduce creping skin. Look for products that contain Cynergy TK and Hyaluronic acid. Cynergy TK is sourced from sheep raised in New Zealand and has been found to help boost the body's collagen production. Hyaluronic acid is used in injectable facial fillers and has more recently been used topically.
Other ingredients for treating crepey skin include:
Natural vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol), which helps to purify and normalize sebum secretion and also works as antioxidant to get rid of fine lines.
Grapeseed oil is a powerful antioxidant that helps skin retain moisture and hydration.
If the skin around your eyes has begun to crepe, it can easily be concealed with makeup. Various makeup artists shared their crepey-skin concealing secrets with WebMD.com.
"After you wash your face in the morning, apply moisturizer while the skin is damp, which will plump it up and even it out, helping makeup glide on," says Billy Lowe, celebrity hairstylist and beauty expert for television shows such as Extreme Makeover and TLC's 10 Years Younger.
"Start with a silicone-based eye serum that will gel to the concealer and prevent it from slipping," says Lowe. And, he says, "Packing on the makeup to cover lines or dark circles will cause it to crepe and bring out creases."
Once you get tired of using makeup to cover crepey skin on the lower eyelids, professional skin resurfacing is an option recommended by many plastic surgeons.
Austin Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Edward D. Buckingham says, " Skin resurfacing is certainly one of the solutions to crepey lower eyelid skin. This can be accomplished through chemical peels or laser peels.
The peel needs to be moderate in depth and that would include Jessners and TCA or Phenol. Laser resurfacing can be performed with CO2 laser or Erbium and even Fractionated laser can be of benefit."
