Blessed with a good complexion, I must confess I often went to sleep throughout my 20s, 30s and 40s without cleansing my face. Too tired or lazy, I rationalized that my skin could wait till morning for me to wash off my makeup. I never paid much attention to the skincare products I used either!
My attitude turned from casual to conscientious in my 50s, as fine lines debuted around my lips and dark circles under my eyes. What’s more, I was determined to do something about the sagging, crepey skin under my once-toned arms and the dry skin on my legs.
Since then, I’ve learned three key – and I mean key – lessons: A) You’re never too young to start investing in the health of your skin B) The quality and quantity of ingredients in skincare products is directly related to their efficacy and C) Consistency counts!
I’ve been using Crepe Erase® Advanced on my face and body ever since the brand was introduced seven years ago (I wish it had come out years earlier). Packed with essential, high-quality ingredients, it has worked wonders to reduce the look of fine lines, as well as crepey and sagging skin all over my body.
More on that later.
But the secret to the success of Crepe Erase® on my skin, besides what’s in it, is my consistency in applying these exceptional formulas.
We keep our muscles and tummies strong and toned if we stick to smart diet and exercise routines. And, our aging skin will remain firm and glowing if we consistently “feed” it lotions and creams filled with substantial ingredients.

THE SMART STRATEGY TO HASTEN SKIN CELL TURNOVER AS YOU AGE
Besides the natural breakdown of the collagen and elastin foundation that supports and firms young skin, toxins including environmental pollutants and smoking eventually rob it of moisture, dewy glow and healthy color. (1)
Our skin – a living organ – continuously repairs and regenerates itself on a cellular level throughout our lives. As skin cells form in deep layers of the skin, cells on the top epidermal layer mature, die and fall away to make way for the fresh, new cells. This process of natural exfoliation – called skin cell turnover or skin cell rejuvenation – takes anywhere from 40 to 56 days on average once we’ve reached adulthood.(1)
Unfortunately, our skin cell turnover rate slows down dramatically as we age, and can take as long as 90 days. Wrinkles, age spots, dullness, opacity, and other visible signs of aging come from the accumulation of cells at the surface of the skin. Dead cell buildup also invites bacteria to sit on the skin, producing blemishes. (1)
Thankfully, beauty scientists are continually developing formulas to help speed up skin cell rejuvenation, as well as provide the proper hydration and nutrition skin needs to look its best. Even the best products, however, that are packed with the highest-quality ingredients, won’t work well unless they’re applied every day – and at the right time! (2)
It’s absolutely crucial to protect our skin from sun damage and oxidation during the day. But at night, skin enters a peak renewal mode, when cells turn over more quickly and new cell production increases. Removing makeup nightly lets skin repair and regenerate most efficiently. It also allows moisturizers and serums to better absorb into the skin, explains Dr. Dennis Gross, a renowned New York City dermatologist, on his practice’s website.
Remember, it took years for your skin to show signs of aging and sun damage, so you won’t magically repair it in a single night. Be persistent and be patient!
THE FAB FOUR MUST-HAVE SKINCARE INGREDIENTS
By all means, start your diligent beauty regimen with the 5-Piece Crepe Erase® Advanced Body + Face System.It’s been my go-to skin savior for seven years, precisely because it delivers four substances dermatologists applaud for skin health: Olive Oil, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Retinoids. What’s more, Crepe Erase Advanced treats the skin above my chin, and has added an intensive hydrating and plumping treatment to repair dry, crepey skin on my hands.
The hero ingredient powering Crepe Erase® Advanced is TruFirm® Complex, an exclusive blend that includes three plant extracts to help reinforce our skin’s netting. This makes skin appear tighter and firmer, and helps it look like it did when we were younger. Crepe Erase® Advanced also contains nine Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides to deliver 48 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. Quick absorbing without leaving a greasy residue, the light and airy moisture-rich formula works to visibly smooth and renew the skin.

MY HAPPY ROUTINE WITH A TTT (TRULY TERRIFIC TREATMENT)!
Before stepping into the shower, or when I’m washing up at the sink before bed, I massage the luxurious and rejuvenating Advanced Refining Facial Scrub with TruFirm® over my whole face, down to my neck. This exceptional exfoliator gently removes my makeup and rough, dead cells, prepping my skin for its overnight cell renewal. My skin has become softer, visibly smoother, firmer, and brighter looking.
In the shower, I grab my bottle of silky Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment with TruFirm® and gentle exfoliators to lift away the dead, rough surface cells all over my torso, arms and legs. The lovely, fresh scent is a bonus! (By the way, avoid long, hot showers because they’ll dry your skin even more!)
After showering, I massage the Advanced Body Repair Treatment with TruFirm® into the crepey skin around my neck, chest, arms and legs. Just like its name says, this lightly whipped formula restores firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. Absorbs quickly and isn’t one bit greasy.
Even after a late night, I can trust my Flaw-Fix™ Eye Cream to instantly reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. It absorbs quickly and can be used at night and in the morning. Great as a hydrating mask, too.I never leave home without applying Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment, a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with TruFirm® and a blend of moisturizing oils. Along with its sister products, it visibly plumps, smoothes and firms, and diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Establishing a consistent skincare regimen with the right products will also improve the look of your makeup. You’ll need less foundation, plus your foundation will beautifully blend into your skin and not sit on top of it looking chalky.
