Crepey skin on the body often shows up as skin that looks thin, finely wrinkled, or paper-like—most commonly on the arms, legs, neck, and chest. While it’s often associated with aging, crepey texture is frequently the result of dehydration, moisture loss, and a weakened skin barrier rather than time alone.
When skin lacks sufficient water and oil, it loses its ability to stay supple. Over time, dryness and repeated exposure to harsh soaps, hot water, or environmental stressors can make skin appear fragile and crepey.
What Contributes to Crepey Skin
- Moisture loss and dehydration
- Hot showers or frequent washing
- Lightweight lotions that don’t seal in hydration
- Dry or cold climates
- Inconsistent moisturizing
The key to improving crepey texture isn’t aggressive treatments—it’s consistent nourishment and moisture retention.
