My mom’s beauty routine has always entranced me. Watching her indulge in her fancy creams and perfumes growing up, I couldn’t wait to have my own collection of lotions and potions to keep me looking forever young. She’s influenced a great deal of my skincare repertoire, but I love that I’ve also been able to lend my expertise to recommend quality products that have improved her skin for the better over the years.
I asked her what coveted anti-aging body products (new and old) she’d recommend to someone looking to improve rough, wrinkle-ridden skin. She named four standouts, and you can shop all of them below on Amazon, starting at just $10.
4 Mom-Loved Anti-Aging Body Lotions:
Gold Bond Neck and Chest Firming Cream, $12 (Originally $16)
Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum, $27 (Originally $30)
Gold Bond Neck and Chest Firming Cream
Amazon
My grandma said the Gold Bond Neck and Chest Firming Cream “did wonders for the sagging skin around her neck,” so my mom picked up a bottle. Her review said it was a game-changer for “smoothing the crepey skin on her chest” that had become loose due to her recent weight loss. She’ll “never need Botox” as long as she keeps applying this hyaluronic and salicylic acid-formulated lotion to exfoliate and hydrate her skin twice daily.
Osea Anti-Aging Body Balm
Osea
My mom and I have both declared Osea’s Anti-Aging Body Balm is a “time machine in a bottle.” Its star ingredient is seaweed, which improves skin elasticity, making it firmer and smoother. It also includes passion fruit seed oil, which enhances the skin’s ability to hold moisture, coconut oil to lock in that moisture, and safflower seed oil to nourish dry skin.
Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum
Amazon
Another body lotion my mom and I have in common in our routines is Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum. It makes your skin “unbelievably soft” and is formulated with retinol to improve the skin's elasticity and tone while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also includes urea, which removes dead skin buildup that traps hair under the surface, creating bumps (also known as keratosis pilaris or “strawberry legs.”
Nivea Nourishing Skin Firming Body Lotion
Amazon
My mom says she interchanges between the Gold Bond Neck and Chest Cream and Nivea’s Nourishing Skin Firming Body Lotion during the winter months because it’s thicker and is made to be used all over the body. It’s formulated with coenzyme Q-10, creatine, and provitamin B5, which work together to prevent sagging and wrinkle properties. She said the anti-aging lotion was effective after just two weeks, and she saw a “noticeable decrease in the appearance of wrinkles around [her] neck, chest, and thighs.”
