Ever wondered why you see some women in little dresses more often than others?
Or why, on a run to the supermarket even on a hot, sweltering day,
you still tend to reach for those bulky jeans?
Or why your shorts remain tucked away in the back of your wardrobe?
The answer lies in a problem that’s totally ignored by most skincare brands.
It seems like a small thing but makes a HUGE difference to our confidence in our overall appearance.
I am talking about your knees!
That’s right. Think ‘wrinkles’ and the image that flashes across our mind’s eye are the lines we see criss-crossing our face.
Or say ‘discolouration’ and the focus once again goes to the face.
But one part of the body that faces (no pun intended) almost the exact same problems but gets barely any attention from the skincare industry are your knees!
Overworked and often neglected, your knees undergo repetitive movements much like facial skin and are thus susceptible to wrinkles.
Knee wrinkles or ‘kninckles’ look particularly bothersome when you slip into that lovely short black dress. And then you notice your knees looking a bit saggy and creased in the mirror, which can leave you feeling less confident than you'd like.
And ordinary lotions and moisturisers simply aren’t designed to handle the skin on the knees.
Why?
Because the skin there is thicker than the rest of your skin and thus demands deeper and more long-lasting nourishment and moisturisation.
BUT…
Is there something that can help soften, moisturise, nourish and restore the smooth, firm yet elastic look and feel of the knees?
Maybe something thattaps the vast treasure chest of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of Lifethat has, for 5000 years, offered a host of natural, gentle,holistic answers to the perennial challenges of ageing?
SO, HERE ARE 5 PROVEN WAYS TO FIRM THE LOOK OF SAGGY, MATURE SKIN ON THE KNEES, THE LEGS AND THE ARMS:
1. Understand What Causes Ageing Knees To Look Droopy, Saggy, Crepey or Wrinkly
"Short hemlines aren't for me!"
If the crepey, saggy, wrinkled and roughened texture of your skin on the knees is leaving you disappointed, you may want to understand the 5 reasons why this area ages differently.
i. The skin on and around your knees seems to ‘age faster’ than the rest of your skin for many reasons. First, your knees undergo flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) throughout daily activities like sitting, standing, walking, and even minor shifts in posture.
Since knee bends happen in most body movements, your knees are subject to frequent compression, stretching and pressure throughout the day. This repetitive motion, over the years, contributes to fine lines, wrinkles, and a crepey texture.
ii. The skin on the knees is naturally thicker and has fewer oil glands than, say, facial skin.
That’s right! Thicker areas, like the knees, elbows, and feet, have fewer oil glands than say the face, which means less natural moisture! This makes them more prone to dryness, so they benefit from moisturisers that penetrate deeply.
iii. Thicker skin contains more keratin, a tough protein that makes the outer layer of skin harder and less permeable.
Moisturisers need to be more emollient or hydrating to effectively penetrate and keep thicker skinsoft and supple.
iv. And with ageing, it further loses moisture and produces less oil. This makes it more prone to dryness and creping.
With age, the body also produces less collagen and elastin, proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. This decrease weakens skin support, making it more prone to sagging.
Further, as we age, our bodies naturally lose both muscle mass and subcutaneous fat—the layer of fat just beneath the skin.
Around the knees, this gradual loss of muscle and fat affects the structural support that keeps the skin firm and lifted.
With less underlying support, the skin in this area starts to sag and can take on a looser, droopy appearance.
This effect is particularly noticeable in areas like the knees, where skin is already undergoing frequent bending and stretching.
v. Finally, loved soaking up the sun in your 20s and 30s? Well, prolonged sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin further, accelerating skin thinning and promoting age spots and uneven tone around the knees.
2. Use an Ancient, Proven, Time-Tested Formulation
There are multiple procedures and treatments available that claim to get rid of your crepey, saggy appearing skin on the knees, like dermal fillers, fat grafting, Radio frequency microneedling, laser skin resurfacing and more.
One option is to even go under the knife, with surgical treatments like knee lifts.
As painful-yet-short they may sound, these procedures and treatments come along with some seriously damaging risks too. You can face post operative complications like infections, allergic reactions and uneven results. You can even experience scarring, bruising and skin discolouration.
On top of all these risks, it also costs you an arm and a leg!
Ask yourself, is it, really, worth it?
What if we tell you that there is a non-invasive, natural, chemical-free Ayurvedic body oil, that can answer all your dry and ageing skin woes of your knees, arms and legs?
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! And while some may advertise that they contain natural ingredients like Almond Oil or Aloe Vera, that’s usually only a small percentage in a long list of chemicals.
Have a look at the ingredient list of one of the entire world’s best-selling body lotions:
We definitely see some ingredients in that list we don’t want on our skin, entering our bodies on a daily basis.
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 medicine 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:
Lubricates the joints, gives better flexibility
Increases blood circulation, assisting cell regeneration
Helps you sleep better and deeper at night
Reduces stress and increases longevity
Helps eliminate toxins or impurities from the body
Helps tone the muscles and strengthen the tissues
Softens and smoothens skin and helps smoothen wrinkles and fine lines
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.
4. 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 moisturises our skin deeply and what doesn’t? And with a myriad of options available to moisturise 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!
Oils help re-introduce lost moisture in the skin – be that right after stepping out of the shower or exposure to air conditioning or cold, dry winds. They are great at mimicking the skin’s lipid barrier and supporting it.
“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.
Oils are lipophilic in nature which means that they are attracted to fats! This property allows the oil to pass through our skin and fat layers much more easily than creams. Molecules of oils are smaller than those of creams, which also aid in deeper penetration into the skin.
Some more reasons why oils are a better friend than body lotions:
Oils are not a foreign substance for our skin. The formation of oils is a natural and innate process within the layers of our skin, which means that the application of an oil externally is a welcome addition to our skin’s natural oils.
Did you know? Wax-based lotions work by forming a protective layer on the skin, that later end up clogging the pores! Something you should be considering, if you are thinking about buying a lotion instead.
Pure and natural oils are innately rich with an array of benefits that help in giving your skin a toned and even complexion along with an enhanced texture. Not only that, but oils also offer therapeutic properties that help relax the mind, the body and the soul.
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, ageing, 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 not only moisturises but also nourishes all 7 tissues of the body.
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.
Black gram is an extremely nutritious, enriching food as it contains high levels of protein (25g/100g), potassium (983mg/100g), calcium (138 mg/100g), iron (7.57 mg/100g), niacin (1.447 mg/100g), Thiamine (0.273 mg/100g), and Riboflavin (0.254 mg/100g).
The oil derived from this nutritious kitchen-ingredient is known to promote youthfulness, firm and tighten skin, and manage the look of sagginess and crepiness. Its intense moisturising 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 promote both moisturisation and hydration is Himalayan Rock Salt, that can help maintain skin’s natural barrier by supporting hydration.
Himalayan Rock Salt is also known to contain trace amounts of magnesium which can significantly improve water levels in the skin along with reducing the look of roughness and redness.
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. Being a rich source of proteins, lipids, minerals and 60 major phytochemicals, Velvet Bean provides nourishing, rejuvenating and soothing comfort to any skincare it’s added to.
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 healthy-looking, firm 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 youthfulness promoter that helps soften the look of UV induced ageing, Nutgrass has been in use in ancient Ayurvedic skincare for centuries because of its richness in fatty acids, vitamins and flavonoids.
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 supporting the skin’s barrier and promoting skin’s radiance and brightness.

"So happy with this product"
I am a 64 year old women who had been very fit most of my life. But in the last couple of years I have seen my skin get drier and those awful loose skin wrinkles appear on the underside of my arms and around my knees…I live in Queensland, Australia and am constantly exposed to the harsh sun. When I read about how the black gram body booster might help, I decided to give it a go as no other moisturiser was doing any good. Now a month on, I love it. My skin feels softer, it’s definitely nicer to look at, the age spots [seem to be] reducing, my skin is [looking] firmer and yep the…[look of] skin dimpling is definitely reducing. Other than the effect on the look and feel of my skin, I love the smell of this product. It’s so lovely to put on, and your skin really feels nice afterwards.

“Leg Saver”
I have been loving this oil a lot. I only use it on my legs cause that’s the driest part in my body plus w shaving my legs need lots of love. This oil is so nice and light. It smells amazing and I have noticed that over those my skin retains moisture longer. My knees don’t look all dry and crusty! Definitely a great product, even for someone like me with naturally oily skin.

"Balaayah black gram oil"
60 yrs old with dry skin. I've tried 100's of lotions and creams and finally I found what truly works for me. Im on my 2nd bottle now and not only is my skin moisturized, silky smooth but the [look of] sun spots on my arms and legs are disappearing. Due to 68 lb weight loss I have some crepey skin above my knees and around my upper arms and with each daily use there is a noticeable improvement! The aroma of this oil is intoxicating. Also the face oils are wonderful too. Love the Ajara sandlewood rose eye butter! Thank you for making natural healthy products Ayurveda. I'll never have to search for anything else.
