I can no longer treat the skin on my body with scented body creams and frilly body lotions. I need to add in targeted treatments with ingredients that will help to address emerging concerns like crepiness, dullness, discoloration and loss of elasticity. I’ve been testing out a handful of body care products to see which will offer the best results. I have finally landed on a selection of formulations + devices that are helping to improve the skin on my body rather than just offer surface level results. Here are my current favorite anti-aging body care products.
The Anti-Aging Body Care Products I Use Regularly
OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement (discount code: MAREE15)
The Body Topical Supplement is one of the best treatments I’ve used that really targets anti-aging concerns for the body. Things like crepiness, dullness, loss of firmness, dehydration and protecting the skin barrier. This is a lightweight gel moisturizer that absorbs almost instantly and leaves no film or residue on the skin. I use it every day either alone or layered underneath one of my other scented body lotions or oils. If you are hesitant to splurge on a body care product, I would recommend using it mainly on the areas that are most visible if you want to make the product last as long as possible. Focus on the chest, neck, arms and hands because often that is the part of the body that receives sun exposure and can show a distinct contrast to the skin on your face.
Saltair Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum
I love hyaluronic acid products for my face because they help to intensely hydrate as well as hold onto moisture for longer. Additionally, hyaluronic acid is great for helping to plump, firm and boost skin elasticity. Adding a hyaluronic acid treatment serum into my body care routine has really helped with any dehydration or intense dryness. I typically like to layer this under a body cream or body lotion for that added boost of hydration in my routine.
Saltair Retinol Revive Overnight Body Lotion
As I’ve gotten older, retinol is one of the most important ingredients in my skincare routine. Cellular turnover slows down as we age so it’s important to use a retinol product to help speed up this process. Only using products that hydrate or add moisture into the skin won’t do much for the appearance, texture and tone of the skin on your body. Adding in those products containing targeted anti-aging ingredients will really help to improve the skin’s overall look and feel. I don’t use this body lotion every day but try to add it into my routine 1-2x/week. It’s important to use SPF daily while using a retinol product, so be sure to apply a daily sunscreen to the body or any areas that are exposed to the sun.
Currentbody LED Neck and Decolletage Mask (discount code: ALITTLEBITCB)
If I had to choose one beauty device to invest in, it would definitely be a red light LED mask. I’ve been using one on my face and one on my neck/chest for the past 2 years. This mask helps to target fine lines, loss of elasticity, loss of firmness and uneven skin tone/hyperpigmentation. It’s a slow process that takes consistency but the results are definitely worth it. I use my LED masks 6 nights a week for 10 minutes. There is a timer built into this mask so it will automatically turn off after the required time needed. It’s best to use on bare skin so don’t apply any of your body care treatments until after the mask is finished.
If there is one makeup product I have in abundance, it’s lip products. Lipsticks, lip glosses, tinted lip balms, lip oils – I love them all. And this year has been the year of the tinted lip balm! So many new ones have been released and more colors have been released in old favorites. Even though I like wearing a full face of makeup nearly every day, I love the idea of a moisturizing lip balm with a bit of tint to wear either alone or layered over another lip product.
