Why Skin Ages
Healthy, youthful skin makes women feel younger, sexy and more confidant.
With age, skin cells begin to divide more slowly and cannot repair as quickly. The inner skin thins and the fat cells beneath atrophy. To make matters worse, the elastin and collagen fibers, which provide support to upper layers of skin, begin to unravel and weaken. The skin loses elasticity and its ability to retain water, making it more dry and scaly. Common facial expressions leave their mark over time and form characteristic lines along with small muscle contractions, which contribute to crows feet (radiating from the eyes) and frown lines (between the eyebrows). The biggest contributor to skin damage, besides the unavoidable aging process, is the sun. The ultraviolet rays projected down upon us, accounts for 90 percent of premature skin aging. When exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time, the body produces enzymes to repair the burned skin.
However, in repairing the skin, the enzymes also degrade the collagen, speeding the aging process. It is also believed that environmental factors contribute to skin aging, such as cigarette smoke and pollution. As a first line of defense, diet and exercise will help keep your skin looking young and radiant. Additional steps should be taken to ensure that skin remains vibrant, clear
and beautiful and delay the physical signs of aging. From Botox
to OTC creams and moisturizers to facials, face lifts (and the
\newer, faster lifestyle lift) this site hopes to show women around
the world how to successfully fight aging, while looking and feeling their best.
