Improving skin elasticity and firmness on arms and thighs
I am new to this and anxious to start using the products. My issue is needing to tighten the skin on arms and thighs. I have always worked out and am very fit; however, the skin on my arms and thighs have lost elasticity and I want to know what product would be recommended particularly for this problem. Any help is appreciated!

Dear Sheri:
Here's our recommendation for improving the look of elasticity on the body:
The key to a more youthful look is the use of a good method of exfoliation (with hydroxy acid and/or manual abrasion) + SRCPs to help initiate strong skin rejuvenation. Keep in mind that consistency and patience are vital.
Here is a suggestion on how you can start using the products:
AM Use: Body Area AM - After cleansing the skin*, apply a light amount Protect & Restore Body Lotion or TriReduction Cream. These are strong copper-peptide creams for skin firming and lessening the appearance of blemishes on the body. TriReduction is stronger than our P&R Body Lotion, but the body lotion is available in a larger size which may be better suited for coverage of larger areas.
PM Use: Body Area PM - After cleansing the area, lightly apply Lactic Power 10 (a 10% hydroxy acid product that helps exfoliate dead skin cells). Wait about 20-30 minutes before you apply anything on top.
*Note while cleansing the skin: Investing in a microdermabrasion cloth or skin scrub to effectively increase the skin cell turnover rate has helped many of our clients to see even better results from the SRCPs work on the skin. Remember to use all methods of exfoliation in a gentle way so as not to cause excessive irritation.

I don't have enough time to use both exfol cream and body lotion everyday. Is it okay to use them every other day if I just want to maintain elasticity as opposed to reversing skin damage? Perhaps less often? Thanks!

Dear TW:
Sure! That is fine.
Some find it is easier to do a method of manual exfoliation (loofa, skin scrub, or microdermabrasion cloth) while they're in the shower each morning and that helps keep good circulation and exfoliation going in the area without having to spend a lot of time applying a topical.
Then when they get out of the shower they apply their P&R Body Lotion, but at least they've done some manual exfoliation for the day.
