A short, conversational video explaining the difference between wrinkles and crepey skin. The speaker describes crepey skin as tissue-paper-thin skin caused by loss of collagen, fat, muscle mass, and hydration; warns that collagen-enriched moisturizers won't reverse crepey skin; and recommends ingredients such as ceramides to restore barrier function and retain moisture. Ends with an invitation for viewer questions.

These are not wrinkles. These are wrinkles. This is crepey skin. Unlike wrinkles, you can't botox crepey skin, but wrinkles you can botox. Crepey skin, like its name implies, is tissue paper thin skin. But it's much more widespread than wrinkles are because of many different factors including not just loss of collagen but loss of fat and muscle mass, not to mention dehydration and loss of moisture. So how then can you treat crepey skin? Do not be fooled by marketing collagen. Enriched moisturizers that have pure collagen are not going to reverse the look of crepey skin. Instead you want to look for a slew of other ingredients, one of them being ceramides. Ceramides are like the glue that hold the superficial skin cells together, creating a nice barrier that minimizes water loss from your skin so that your skin can retain the hydration and moisture that you are putting on your skin.
