Why This Doctor Tells His Patients to Ditch Lotion (and What to Use Instead)

And why so many of them are finally seeing the results they’ve been looking for

If skin feels drier, thinner, or more fragile than it used to…and despite using lotions, creams, and “ultra-hydrating” formulas — it still looks crepey, flaky, or dull...You’re not alone.And you’re probably doing what most people have been told to do. But according to Dr. Ronak Patel, a board-certified naturopathic doctor:

RECLAIM YOUR SKIN

The Skin Has Its Own Way of Staying Hydrated

Here’s what most skincare ads won’t tell you:

It does this through something called Natural Moisturizing Factors or NMFs. 

Think of NMFs like tiny messengers inside your skin. Their job is to sense when your skin is getting dry. And tell your body to produce and retain moisture naturally.

When these messengers are active, your skin feels smooth, elastic, and hydrated — without any lotion. But here’s the problem, as we get older, NMFs stop functioning properly. Eventually, they slow down or shut off completely. That’s when the skin starts to feel dry, weak, or paper-thin — what many people call “crepey skin.”.

Most Moisturizers Don’t Fix This — They Suppress It

It seems logical — more dryness = more lotion. But surface-level hydration doesn’t reach the root of the issue. In fact, Dr. Patel explains that most moisturizers may actually make the problem worse.

“They coat your skin and send the wrong signal to your body. Your NMFs get the message that they’re not needed anymore — and they stop doing their job.”

Over time, this can lead to a cycle of dependency:

  • You apply lotion
  • Your skin feels okay for a while
  • Then it gets dry again
  • So you apply more…
  • And your NMFs get even lazier

Exhausting. Expensive. And for many women? Ineffective.
