Reviewers Swear This Body Lotion Softens Fine Lines After Just 48 Hours

To meet both goals, select a body lotion that plumps your skin short term and improves barrier function over time. And according to reviewers, mindbodygreen's postbiotic body lotion does just that—it may even soften fine lines in just 48 hours. 

First things first: Keeping the skin well moisturized improves barrier function, which is key to maintaining supple, youthful skin. But hydrating humectants (like aloe vera) can have an immediate "plumping" effect on fine lines and ease crepey skin. As board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D., once told mbg about the common skin concern: "Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize—this can improve the appearance." Make sure your lotion has a blend of emollients and occlusives, too, which can fill in and soften cracks and lock in that moisture for lasting hydration (ours features shea butter, moringa seed oil, oat oil, and squalene). 

Specifically, our special biotech postbiotic comes from Lactobacillales, the "educational" strain of bacteria2 that teaches skin to act young, protect itself, and revitalize barrier function. Sounds like a tall order, but your skin microbiome is pretty powerful—that's why we always push ingredients that nourish the trillions of bugs that live on your skin—and it adapts rather quickly to whatever you're using. "At first I thought the postbiotic bit was hype, but my hands and wrists are free of fine lines after 48 hours," notes Evelyn C. in a review. "The postbiotic lotion is kind of magical." We (and 27 other reviewers) would agree. 

Fine lines are inevitable at some point, but it is possible to soften the appearance of those creases. Snag a quality hydrating body lotion, like ours, and watch the skin-enhancing magic unfold.
