A particular example I recall was that when she awoke for a pee in the night she'd do the moisturizer thang.

A resounding yes to this....frequent application of moisturizer is key. My grandmother made it to 73 with barely a wrinkle on either face or hands....and she swore by moisturizer at least morning and night, and preferably a couple times in the middle too.
She also kept hand lotion on her kitchen sink, bedside table, bathroom, etc. Anytime she passed a bottle, she applied it.
Even though she lived in Florida and was an avid gardener, her skin was gorgeous thanks to these habits (and wearing a hat, always), even without buying expensive products.
