Skin elasticity is something we lose over time and with weight loss, but luckily with aesthetic and skincare innovations there are ways to slow the process, tighten skin, and boost collagen production. As we prepare to enter 2026 this week, you’re likely setting goals for yourself, whether they’re professional, personal, or both. Within these goals, you may be prioritizing looking and feeling your best throughout the next year— and we have tips to help you take care of your skin and keep it firm. Keep reading to learn more about skin elasticity and the steps you can take to keep away the crepe.
To better understand what you’re treating, it’s important to know what’s causing your skin to lose elasticity and look crepey. Starting around the age of 25, your body starts producing less collagen and elastin, typically around 1-2% less each year. Along with lowering collagen levels, considerable weight loss, UV exposure, genetics, smoking, and hormonal changes all can contribute to loose skin.
The best way to treat loose skin is through a multifaceted approach, aka utilizing a few different practices together. Firming up crepey skin is also something that needs consistency and habitual compliance for ideal results. While adding in these treatments, products, and habits is a great way forward, it’s also beneficial to cut down on what could be causing the loose skin like smoking and excess UV exposure.

Skincare products are a great and often more accessible way to firm the skin. Sticking to a medical-grade daily skincare regimen including SPF and regenerative products is a good place to start. SKINHAUS Beauty’s The Bright Side Vitamin C serum is a great addition to encourage collagen production, especially when paired with The Peptide Perk Up eye cream that helps firm the eye area. Along with those products, the Elta MD daily SPF is perfect for both under makeup and to wear on its own and they offer a full body sunscreen that works for sensitive skin. Stick to using your products daily to see the best results over time and decide what else you want to include in your journey to firmer skin.
Similar to skincare, dry brushing and other forms of gentle exfoliation can help boost circulation, improve lymphatic drainage, and help products soak into the skin better. Dry brushing removes dead skin, leaving behind fresh skin ready for product, whether it be a firming lotion or a hydrating body wash. Gentle exfoliation in other forms like a light body scrub, gentle facial exfoliation wash, or Gua Sha use can do similar things to dry brushing like improving circulation and keeping skin ready to soak up products.
Another recommendation is to seek professional help from a med spa near you like SKINHAUS Beauty. Our providers include Certified Nurse Injectors as well as a Licensed Esthetician, all ready to help you achieve the skin of your dreams. Lasers, collagen boosting injectable fillers, and more are available at our office and can be done in collaboration with a medical-grade skincare regimen and regular at-home exfoliation. Collagen and biostimulatory fillers provide a lifted and plump short-term result while encouraging the naturally occurring collagen to keep up production long-term. Lasers not only help with resurfacing, but they can tighten the skin and lessen visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
