Hey everyone! I’m going to be turning 39 this spring and I’ve noticed that the texture and overall tone of my body skin is changing quite a bit.
I do massage pretty regularly and only use natural products but I’m wondering what everyone else has done to improve the texture/tone on their bodies? Are there procedures like thermage or radio frequency or something else? Certain products? I do a deeper exfoliation with a special cloth thing like every week or two but other than and shea butter moisturizer, I don’t do anything else.
It almost feels like the tissue below my skin is becoming more lax and I’m not sure if there’s a certain kind of workout or something that I could do to affect the deeper layers. Maybe just building muscle would help that? I’m definitely active but inconsistently.
Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated! Thank you! |

I started exfoliating EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!!
Also, as far as actives go, I've noticed that ascorbic acid is better for my body skin than anything else I've tried. (And I was REALLY rooting for the niacin!!!) But I also DIY a lot of my leave-on stuff and the vitamin C is fresh before every application. |

Hey there,
Once a week, I dry brush the entire body using woven plant material to promote lymphatic drainage and exfoliation. I then apply a blend of raw organic castor oil and another oil, like avocado oil. Then I steam or dry sauna for one-hour, alternating between cold and hot. I have used saunas weekly for 26 years. I believe this is a health and beauty practice. I also cover every inch of the skin to protect from the sun for example sun gloves for driving and full coverage bathing suit when snorkeling. I also apply glycolic lotion or DIY vitamin C serum all over.
Good overall health is great for the skin.
