As we age, taking care of our skin becomes increasingly important, but many women over 55 find that simply moisturizing their skin is no longer enough to maintain its health and vitality. While traditional moisturizers help alleviate dryness temporarily, they often fail to address deeper concerns like collagen loss, sagging, and the development of crepey skin. To truly combat the signs of aging, older skin requires advanced solutions that go beyond surface-level hydration. That’s where the power of liposomal delivery comes in.
In this blog, we’ll explore why older skin needs more than just a basic moisturizer, how liposomal technology works, and why Hygieia Skin’s Crepe Repair Cream is specially formulated to penetrate deep into the skin, providing lasting hydration and anti-aging benefits. With the right approach to skincare, you can restore your skin’s firmness and resilience and enjoy a more youthful appearance.
Why Moisturizer Alone Isn’t Enough for Aging Skin
Moisturizers are an essential part of any skincare routine because they help keep the skin hydrated and prevent water loss. However, as we age, our skin undergoes structural changes that require more than just surface-level moisture to address effectively. Let’s look at some of the key reasons why older skin needs more than a basic moisturizer:
-
Loss of Collagen and Elastin
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping the skin firm, smooth, and elastic. This decline leads to sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin. A regular moisturizer can’t replenish these proteins or stimulate their production. -
Thinner Skin
Aging causes the skin to become thinner and more fragile, making it more prone to damage, dryness, and crepiness. Thin skin also means that it’s harder for topical products to penetrate deeply enough to have a significant impact. -
Decreased Lipid Production
The skin naturally produces fewer lipids (fats) as we age, which compromises the skin’s protective barrier. This makes the skin more susceptible to moisture loss, environmental damage, and irritation. While moisturizers provide temporary relief, they don’t rebuild the lipid barrier from within. -
Reduced Cell Turnover
Cell turnover slows down with age, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. This can result in a dull complexion and make it harder for active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate the skin effectively.
To effectively combat these challenges, older skin needs a skincare solution that can go beyond the surface and deliver active ingredients deep into the skin, where they can make a real difference.
What is Liposomal Delivery Technology?
Liposomal delivery is an advanced technology used in skincare to ensure that active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin. A liposome is a tiny spherical structure made from phospholipids, the same material that makes up our cell membranes. These liposomes act as carriers, encapsulating active ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, and moisturizers and transporting them through the outer layers of the skin.
Here’s how liposomal technology works and why it’s so effective:
-
Deeper Penetration
The liposomes used in skincare products are small enough to pass through the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, which acts as a barrier. Once they penetrate the skin, they release the active ingredients exactly where they’re needed—in the deeper layers of the skin. -
Enhanced Absorption
Liposomes improve the absorption of active ingredients, ensuring that they don’t just sit on the surface of the skin but actually reach the cells that need them. This targeted delivery system makes the active ingredients more effective. -
Time-Release Benefits
Liposomal technology can also provide a time-release effect, meaning that the active ingredients are released gradually over time. This allows for longer-lasting benefits and reduces the need for frequent reapplication. -
Protection of Active Ingredients
Some active ingredients, like antioxidants, are sensitive to light and air and can degrade quickly. Liposomes protect these ingredients from external factors, preserving their potency until they are delivered to the skin.
How Liposomal Delivery Helps Address Crepey Skin
Crepey skin, with its thin, wrinkled, and sagging appearance, requires more than surface-level hydration to improve. Liposomal delivery technology is particularly effective for treating crepey skin because it ensures that active ingredients penetrate deeply into the skin, where they can stimulate collagen production, repair damage, and restore firmness.
Here’s how liposomal delivery helps combat crepey skin:
-
Stimulates Collagen Production
Liposomes deliver collagen-boosting ingredients like peptides and Idebenone to the deeper layers of the skin, where they can stimulate the production of new collagen. This helps firm the skin and reduce the appearance of crepiness over time. -
Deep Hydration
Ingredients like hyaluronic acid are encapsulated in liposomes, ensuring they penetrate the skin’s deeper layers. This deep hydration helps plump the skin from within, smoothing out wrinkles and giving the skin a firmer, more youthful appearance. -
Repairs and Protects
Liposomal delivery ensures that powerful antioxidants like Idebenone are delivered where they’re needed most, protecting the skin from free radical damage and promoting cellular repair. This helps reverse the signs of aging and prevent further damage. -
Restores the Lipid Barrier
By delivering lipid-restoring ingredients deep into the skin, liposomal technology helps rebuild the skin’s natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and improving the skin’s resilience.

How to Incorporate Liposomal Skincare into Your Routine
To get the most out of liposomal skincare products, it’s essential to use them consistently and as part of a well-rounded skincare routine. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to incorporate Hygieia Skin’s Crepe Repair Cream into your daily routine:

Apply Hygieia Skin’s Crepe Repair Cream
After cleansing, apply a generous amount of the Crepe Repair Cream to the areas where you’re experiencing crepey skin, such as the arms, neck, and décolletage. Massage the cream into the skin using upward, circular motions to encourage absorption and stimulate circulation. -
Use Sunscreen Daily
UV rays can accelerate collagen breakdown and worsen crepey skin, so it’s essential to wear sunscreen every day. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 after using the Crepe Repair Cream to protect your skin from sun damage. -
Stay Consistent
Consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Use the Crepe Repair Cream every morning and night to see the best results. Over time, you’ll notice a visible improvement in your skin’s texture and firmness.
