No matter the season or stage of life, having soft, hydrated skin can be a game-changer when it comes to feeling confident! As our skin matures with us over time, it naturally undergoes a variety of changes. Dryness, crepe-like texture, loss of elasticity, sun damage, and other unexpected shifts can leave our skin feeling tired and lackluster. But the good news is, it’s never too late to prioritize a little extra TLC and nourishment for our complexions. A high-quality, deeply hydrating moisturizer is one of the most powerful tools we have in our skincare arsenal to combat these common skin concerns and restore a radiant, healthy glow.
When your skin feels good, you’ll feel good. And a good moisturizer helps!
Here are our top treatments to keep your skin healthy and happy.

Best Exfoliating
Paula’s Choice Retinol Body Lotion – $31
This retinol body lotion helps to moisturize and exfoliate dry patches, especially for follicle-related chronic skin conditions including keratosis pilaris, bumps, strawberry skin, and flakiness. Body lotions that have a percentage of retinol are great for mature skin because they increase skin cell turnover and promote collagen synthesis. Don’t over scrub your skin––be gentle.
Note: Paula recommends using a BHA liquid exfoliant rather than harsh scrubs that can feel like sand. Here’s her choice.

Movement Living Tip: When choosing a moisturizer, try going for a thicker cream—especially if you have very dry or itchy skin. These often have a higher oil-to-water ratio than thinner lotions, and are a great go-to for extra hydration!
