How do I get this crepey shambles to look refreshed?

I don't mind wrinkles, it's the crepey texture that upsets me. It's like I can't get enough moisture into my skin. Any recommendations?

What’s your diet like? My skin suffers if I have too much caffeine, bread or alcohol.

My diet is pretty poor, lots of sugar, ugh.

Sounds like your skin might be dehydrated. What’s your skincare routine? I’d recommended a deep moisture spray, hyaluronic acid, a good moisturiser and a good face SPF.

I’ve taken my eye off the ball a bit. When I’m doing everything properly…
cleanse with TDDO or Elemis balm
Clinque exfoliant toner
Missha Time Revolution
a serum of some sort
moisturiser

I’ve been rubbish at using sun screen.

What age are you? It might just be normal.

52, but with a bit too much sun I suspect.

It’s up to you but you could save a lot of money you’d spend on cosmetics just by changing your diet. Plenty of water, fresh fruit/veg, fish.

Diet - loads of fresh ingredients, salmon and healthy fats
Water
A better thicker Moistusier
You could try a hydrating toner too
