For years, since our 20s, we’ve been bombarded with skincare products to keep our face looking youthful and wrinkle-free. We’ve seen thousands of products that promise to make those fine lines disappear and keep our face glowing and young.
But what about the skin on the rest of our body?
Skincare companies have failed to recognize that our face isn’t the only part of our skin we want to keep looking young.
While there are plenty of body lotions available in the market, they’re not as targeted as face care products and often have only one simple goal: Moisturisation.
Moisturisation is important, but is it enough?
Sure, moisturisation helps to protect our skin from dehydration, cracking and peeling. But dryness is not the only change our body goes through over the years.
Have you noticed your skin getting... saggy, droopy or crepey?
No simple ‘moisturising lotion’ will tackle these very real problems skincare companies fail to talk about.
We all know that our skin ages with us: it loses collagen and elasticity and after 40 or 50 or 60 years, we can’t expect our skin to look as firm, tight and taut as it did in our 20s.
Or can we?
If you’ve ever heard of Ayurveda (the Ancient Science of Life that originated in India over 5000 years ago), you’ll know that this holistic system of wellness has a large focus on self-care.
Many routines and practices in Ayurveda are made specifically to keep our skin looking and feeling young – and what makes Ayurveda so special is that it actually focuses more on the body than it does on the face
As stated above, the earliest mentions of Ayurveda in ancient books and texts date back to over 5000 years ago. That means that the Ayurvedic self-care routines and skincare formulations we know today, have been around for literally thousands of years. If the test of time doesn’t prove how effective they are... well, what does?!
So according to Ayurveda, here are 5 Proven Ways to Firm the Look of Saggy, Mature Skin on the Arms and the Legs:
1. Understand What Causes Aging Skin To Get Droopy, Saggy or Crepey
First, we have to understand that saggy skin can be the result of 2 different causes – Rapid Weight Loss and Aging
If you have ever experienced extreme, rapid weight loss, or know anyone who lost a lot of weight in a short time (whether intentional or due to an illness, you might have noticed that the skin around their upper arms, stomach, hips and thighs is saggy.
That’s because the body lost volume faster than the skin could ‘shrink’ to stay tight around the body. Many resort to plastic surgery, and sometimes consistent exercise and a healthy, nutritious diet is enough to help the skin get back into shape over time.
Such cases are unrelated to age and can occur even in adolescents. But, because elastin production is still optimally active in younger people, the skin can bounce back to its original state (though it may take several months – just like after pregnancy).
But if you’ve blown out your fair share of birthday candles over the years and suddenly noticed the skin on your upper arms to ‘jiggle’ more than usual... your body’s elastin production has likely taken a backseat. Elastin is responsible for the elasticity of skin, and collagen for its firmness and suppleness. As we age, both usually slow down hand-in-hand.
Ayurveda has a kinder explanation for it. In our life, we go through three stages of life: Kapha, Pitta, and Vata – which are also the three doshas or bio-elements in Ayurveda.
Kapha consists of the elements of earth and water and is associated with oiliness, juiciness, heaviness. Kapha is the first stage of life – just think of a baby’s juicy and plump skin and the expression “baby soft skin”.
Pitta consists of the elements of fire and water and is associated with heat, sharpness, and determination. Pitta is the second or middle stage of life – just think of a teenager’s acne and hot temper, or a young adult’s drive and ambition.
Vata consists of the elements of air and space and is associated with dryness, lightness, alertness and creativity. In the Vata stage of life, we experience dry, rough and sagging skin, we may feel cold more often, but also reach maturity, wisdom, grace and mastery. During this time, it’s important to focus on practices that are warming, stabilizing, grounding and nourishing.
Now that you know that mature, sagging, or drooping skin is a result of the dry Vata stage of life, let’s find which Ayurvedic practices can help rejuvenate saggy Vata skin!
Lotions and body milks... we’ve been using them for years. Phrases like “Ultra rich”, “cocoa”, “shea smooth”, “aloe hydration”, “express hydration”... have made it to every skincare’s dictionary. But once you look at the list of ingredients, they all look almost the same!
In fact – have a look at the ingredient list of your current face care product. “Which one? My serum, day cream, night cream, treatment cream?” you may ask.
Exactly.
There are SO many different face care products in the market today, each tackling a different skin concern. And yet for body care, it’s just one or another different kind of moisturisation.
Ayurveda specializes in self-care and body care! It explains the practice of ‘Dinacharya’ or daily self-care rituals for your skin, body, soul and mind as an expression of self-love. This helps build a foundation to achieve good health and longevity.
One of the pillars of Ayurvedic wellness and self-care is daily self massage or ‘Abhyanga’. Simply taking out a few minutes every day to massage your own body, to stay grounded and connected.
The benefits of abhyanga or self-massage are manifold:
While a good self-massage should take about 15-20 minutes, taking out even 5 minutes per day for yourself is enough to see effects.
5 minutes a day to love yourself, to love your body and to feel better and look better - a 5-minute investment that is worth your skin’s while. Only 5 minutes of self-massage to give your bodily skin the same kind of love that you might give your face.
Ayurveda recommends doing this self-care routine with not a lotion, but an oil.
3. Use Oils Specific to Your Body-Skin Type
We have been moisturising our skin – both face and body, for decades, but do we really know what is it that our skin needs and calls out for the most? What is it that actually moisturizes our skin deeply and what doesn’t? And with a myriad of options available to moisturize skin, how would you ever know what is it that would suit your skin the most?!
And on that note, one question that has perplexed almost everyone we know is - do oils moisturise and hydrate the skin much more effectively than body lotions?
The answer is YES!
Reason?
Let's list them out!
“But there are body lotions that are oil based, do they not support the skin’s lipid barrier?”, you might wonder.
These body lotions contain only a small portion of oil in them, which is nowhere near to what our skin requires.
Some more reasons why oils are a better friend than body lotions:
Remember the three doshas or bio-elements we talked about earlier: Kapha, Pitta and Vata? Each of these roughly translate to the skin types we know today as: oily, sensitive/irritable, and dry, respectively. Ayurveda identifies that all natural ingredients (oils, foods, herbs, spices) have specific properties, and which ones are ideal for which dosha. Oils are no different:
Dry Vata skin benefits best from Sesame Oil because of sesame seed’s nourishing and warming properties, and castor oil because of its thick, intensely moisturising properties.
Hot, irritable Pitta skin needs a cooling and calming oil like Coconut Oil.
Oily Kapha skin can benefit from Almond Oil or Sesame Oil, but those oils should also contain Kapha-balancing herbs like rosemary or orange.
While oils alone are a great start, a better way to get even more targeted benefits for your body and make it more specific to your unique Dosha is by cooking it with herbs and spices.
Some of the best Ayurvedic ingredients specifically for dry, aging, sagging skin are:
Also known as an ‘uber nourisher’ in ancient Ayurvedic texts, Black Gram is an extremely potent moisturising and unctuous ingredient for an Ayurvedic oil that intensely moisturises the skin and gives it a plum and supple look.
Although Black Gram found its fame as a staple food in South-East Asia and the Middle East, Ayurveda has known of its powers to deeply nourish and strengthen skin, for centuries.
The oil derived from this nutritious kitchen-ingredient is known to promote youthful, firm and tight looking skin, and manage the appearnce of sagginess and crepiness. Its intense moisturizing and nourishing powers, along with its smooth, non-sticky and non-greasy texture when added to an oil are what make it a suitable ingredient for any skincare – be that for the face or for the body!
But moisturisation is not the only thing that your saggy skin needs. To keep it looking plump, firm and ample, your skin also needs intense hydration that can prevent it from looking dull and dry.
One such Ayurvedic ingredient that can help maintain skin’s natural barrier by supporting moisturization is Himalayan Rock Salt
Himalayan Rock Salt is also known to reduce the look of roughness and give the skin a moisturized look
With an exterior similar to that of Black Gram, slightly bigger however, Velvet Bean, as its name suggests, is known for endowing skin with a soft, velvety texture. Velvet Bean comforts the skin and gives it a nourished and rejuvenated look.
These magic beans for moisturisation have also earned a name in being a skin-soothing agent that can also purify and keep it looking clear from the inside-out.
Ancient Ayurvedic texts talk vividly of Velvet Beans’ ability to induce firm looking skin through external application by means of an oil.
No discourse on herbs that manage saggy skin can be complete without mentioning Nutsedge.
A strong promoter of youthful looking skin, Nutgrass has been in use in ancient Ayurvedic skincare for centuries to help soften the look of UV induced aging,
It is known that the powdered extracts of the root of this grass are highly potent when it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness.
The cooling nature of this grass makes it a fine skincare ingredient for extremely dry skin that may cause further irritation. It is also known for promoting skin’s radiance and brightness.
5. Use an Ancient, Proven, Time-Tested Formulation
There are multiple procedures and treatments available that claim to get rid of your saggy appearing skin, like chemical peels, ultrasound skin tightening procedures, Radio frequency treatments and more.
One option is to even go under the knife, with surgical treatments like Rhytidectomy also known as Arm lift and Face Lift.
These procedures and treatments can not only be uncomfortable, but also costs you an arm and a leg!
Ask yourself, is it, really, worth it?
What if we tell you that there is a better, non-invasive, 100% natural, Ayurvedic body oil, that can answer all your dry and aging skin woes of your arms and legs?

"I love this body booster oil!"
As a mature woman, I am always looking for better skincare products. When I saw this item and read the ingredients, I just had to try it and I'm SO glad I did! The oil glides on my damp skin effortlessly and has no oily residue. It just makes my skin feel so soft and I swear it appears that my skin is firmer, too! I liked it so much, I asked about using it on my face as well. The Ayurveda Experience quickly responded stating that it was not intended for facial application. Now I can't wait to order the new Yauvari Amplified Youth Spring facial and decolette oil with Black Gram and see how much more youthful my face, neck and decolette will be!

"Wow"
I have had scaly dry skin since my 20s and have tried a lot of natural oils and body lotions. I have been very impressed with this oil. It smells rather divine after it soaks in (a bit strong going on). My skin looks so lustrous after putting it on. It gives a wonderful (dry not oily looking) sheen. I have noticed the very dry crepey skin above my knee is feeling softer longer. I recently got back from a trip to the desert which always leaves my legs flaky and cracked, but using this while I was there, there was no damage! I am looking forward to seeing how my skin responds after 6-8 weeks!

On my legs, especially after saving, my arms and decolletage, everywhere. My skin feels so much more resilient, crepiness gone, glowing. Treat yourself, you are worth it.
