Vogue’s feature, “The Best Body Lotions for Aging Skin, According to Dermatologists,” highlighted clinical perspectives on how to support aging skin. Among their trusted voices was MetroDerm’s own Dr. Pearl Rimtepathip, a Board-Certified Dermatologist who shared expert strategies for maintaining firm, radiant, and youthful-looking skin.
While in-office procedures bear the standard for reversing signs of aging, don’t discount the powers of the best body lotions for mature skin. “When used consistently, anti-aging lotions can improve the skin’s appearance by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots,” says Dr. Pearl. “They can also improve skin tone, texture, and hydration, which helps with the overall appearance of the skin. I like to think of anti-aging body lotions as a key tool for skin maintenance.”
Dr. Pearl highlights powerhouse ingredients like sea kelp and algae, which nourish and rejuvenate the skin. You can find these ingredients in La Mer’s The Reparative Body Lotion. “La Mer effectively uses the power of sea kelp and algae in its skin care products,” she explains. “Sea kelp and algae contain powerful antioxidants, minerals, collagen, and peptides. Combined with other ingredients – such as hyaluronic acid – kelp and algae can soothe skin, increase moisture, and reduce dullness.”
A great skin care routine goes beyond lotions alone. “Sunscreen is the most important anti-aging ingredient and has the biggest payoff,” Dr. Pearl advises, recommending at least SPF 30 daily with frequent reapplication. She also recommends retinoids, which are clinically proven to stimulate collagen production, smooth texture, and reduce wrinkles over time. Other collagen- and elastin-boosting ingredients, such as peptides, can help decrease sagging skin and fine lines, though results are typically mild.
