Crepey skin on legs - how to treat?

Hi, this is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I have developed really crepey skin on my calves. Unexpected as I don’t sunbathe, have always used sun protection, and am only mid 40s. Has anyone found any products that can make skin look smoother once this has happened? Or is this just something I will have to live with? Or is this just terrible cellulite?! I have attempted to take a pic to show how it looks. I am getting v self conscious about it.

Are you dehydrated?

Hmm, good point, probably given this weather!

Scrub. Scrub every day with a loofah or scrubby mitt or something. I find shaving helps get the dead skin off. Then lots of rich body lotion or oil or body butter. And get them out. Mine go like that after being under wraps all winter. They improve with sunshine and scrubbing!

Hmm....you'd have to get pretty close to your calves to actually see that!🧐

That's not crepey skin. I've got crepey skin, but I'm older than you.
