But if you’re unlucky enough to end up with them anyway, you can still work to minimize the damage after the fact. Does this Spark an idea?

Generously apply a lotion or cream that contains a collagen-producing active ingredient. As this would be the major selling point of the product, it won’t be hard to find on the label. Many skin-firming products will do. Collagen is what the skin needs to regenerate and renew itself, giving its appearance a smoother, tightened and more youthful look.

Repeat the exfoliation every other day, but apply the skin cream to the affected area daily.
