Exfoliation and Age Effects

by Valerie DeVette

How does exfoliation change the aging process?

The skin regenerates itself completely about every 20 days in human subjects between the ages of 15 and 25. In your thirties, the renewal rate begins to slow significantly, increasing the time it takes to complete a full cycle to about 28 days. This produces thicker, duller-looking skin.

During this period, the sebaceous, or oil-producing glands also become less active, making the skin slightly drier. While no skin care product will stop this biological process, a carefully designed, daily regimen can help maintain the skin in its optimum shape and accelerate the skin rejuvenation mechanism.

Will exfoliants cause me to look younger?

Because the rate of cell renewal slows as we age, it is vitally important to assist the skin by supplementing its natural exfoliation mechanism with exfoliating treatments. Removing devitalized cells from the skin's surface not only makes the skin look more fresh and healthy, it also promotes new cell generation. Now you can help this process along by utilizing a skin care product that triggers the regeneration of skin.

Why should I exfoliate my skin regularly?

Only when you eliminate the devitalized skin on your face will your beautiful new skin reveal itself and begin to heal.

Where is that wonderful, radiant new skin hiding?

It's buried under there. You simply still cannot see it.

The "glue" that holds devitalized skin onto our faces was once very pliant, but unfortunately it hardens as we age. If you're wondering why your complexion looks dull, it's because you're looking at devitalized skin. Get rid of it by using nature's gift for healthy skin.

This is a scientifically proven way of healing your living skin. Devitalized skin only prevents oxygen, moisture and nutrients from reaching your living skin.

And here's another bonus: The old skin on your face tends to sag and hold wrinkles. Your new baby skin below will have a thickened tautness and smoothness you thought was gone...It was there the whole time, only hidden by years of improper treatment of your skin.

A young child's skin is wonderful, isn't it? The truth is that a child loses devitalized skin constantly, just by changing clothes or rubbing against towels and wash cloths. With the help of peeling agents, we can mimic the process native to young skin.

Skin sensitivity and Exfoliation

Will the use of exfoliants make my skin more sensitive?

Whether applying exfoliants as biological skin care at home or undergoing a series of therapies in a skin care center, it is very important to remember that the skin will become more sensitive to sunlight. Always use a complete sunblock with minimum SPF 15 to shield the skin.

Upon use, the first thing you will observe is a smoothing of your skin, and within a few days or weeks of disciplined use, twice a day, you will start seeing and feeling the results previously discussed. Then you can decide for yourself how many times a day is necessary for the exfoliation process to work best for you and get the full array of results you wish.

Avoid the complications of aging and several skin ailments applying a state of the art skin care product designed to treat your skin concerns all-naturally.
