Smooth Away Winter Crepe: Reveal Healthy, Smooth Skin by Summer with Vitali
Has winter left your skin looking a bit...crinkled?
You're not alone! As we shed our layers for spring and dream of summer sun, crepey skin can undermine our confidence.
When skin loses its vital proteins; collagen and elastin—the skin can appear saggy, crinkled, and loose.
Don't fret!
With the right approach and Vitali Skincare's powerful formulations, you can restore your skin's youthful bounce and glow just in time for summer.
Let’s get down to science
Crepey skin, characterized by its thin, saggy, crinkled, texture, isn't just a sign of aging. While hormonal changes and weight fluctuations play a role, they aren’t the only culprits.
Crepey skin is not interchangeable with wrinkles. While wrinkling is related to genetics, repeated facial movement and aging, crepey skin is more often related to the following:
The Primary Culprits
Sun Damage
Years of sun exposure break down collagen and elastin, the skin's support system. Think of it like a worn-out rubber band – it loses its snap.
Decreased Collagen & Elastin
As we age, our bodies naturally produce less of these vital proteins, leading to thinner, less resilient skin.
Dryness
Winter's harsh conditions can exacerbate dryness, making crepey skin more noticeable. Our skin's natural oil production also decreases with age, further compromising its moisture barrier.
Vitali Skincare can help you combat crepey skin and achieve a smooth, radiant complexion for summer:
Summer Prep Plan
Boost Collagen & Elastin with GHK-Cu (Copper Peptides)
Copper Peptides help stimulate collagen and elastin production which are crucial for skin firmness and elasticity. Studies show that GHK-Cu can significantly improve skin laxity, firmness, and overall appearance.
Simply, in the context of crepey skin, GHK-Cu works to rebuild the skin’s structural support, making it thicker and more resilient. (research)
Apply Vitali Skin Cell Restorative Serum twice daily to targeted areas like the neck, inner arms, and decolletage.
Hydrate Deeply
Vitali Hydration Boost Squalane Oil: This lightweight oil mimics your skin's natural sebum, replenishing moisture and restoring suppleness. Squalane quickly smooths the skin’s surface which improves the textured appearance of crepey skin, making it feel less rough and more supple.
Skin Restorative Body Cream with Copper Peptides: Infused with botanical oils like rosemary, aloe, and cocoa butter, this cream provides intense hydration and nourishment, combating dryness and improving skin texture.
Accelerate Cell Turnover
Vitali 2% Bakuchiol is the natural retinol alternative which gently encourages cell turnover, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin without irritation.
Bakuchiol helps refine skin texture, reduce fine lines, and improve overall radiance.
Exfoliate Gently & Effectively
Vitali Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser: Formulated with lactic acid (AHA), this cleanser gently removes dead skin cells, allowing Vitali's potent serums and creams to penetrate deeper.
For enhanced exfoliation on crepey areas like arms and legs, use exfoliating gloves with the cleanser 2 times per week or leave on skin 5 minutes before rinsing.
