How to bring out the Soft Skin you were Born With
Have you ever felt the smooth, perfect skin of a newborn baby? It is extraordinary to experience something so perfect and blemish free. As our lives progress, our skin gets put through so many environmental factors and stress, which gradually robs the beautiful, soft skin of our youth. Fortunately, our skin has a wonderful system to refresh itself and keep itself looking younger longer. When we are young, approximately every 15-20 days our skin renews itself. The surface layers are shed, leaving the unexposed lower layer, which rises to the surface, stays for a several weeks, and then the same process begins again This explains how children can play in the mud, dirt, and be exposed to the elements all day, every day, and still have great skin! I'm sure the vast majority of kids couldn't care less about using skin creams or pampering their skin, and yet their own body protects them.
If our skin was made to renew itself so frequently, what happens to it as we become adults? Have you ever noticed the difference between a senior citizen's skin and a newborn's skin? Most older people have skin that is rough, thick, and many times with discolored skin or fine lines. Why does this happen?
Little by little, our skin begins to stop renewing itself as frequently as it did before. Rather than shedding the dead skin cells, they start collecting on the surface of the skin, causing the layers to get thicker and rougher. This means that all those blemishes, age spots and other things don't get sloughed off. To top it all off, we lose approximately 10% of our epidermal cells per decade, lessening our possibilities to regenerate more healthy layers of skin. Plus, often, less moisture gets to the top layer of the skin, producing wrinkles, fine lines, and the sagging skin we have seen in our senior citizen family and friends.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could stop this process before it's too late, and go back to the same protection and rejuvenation that your skin offered us when we were younger? I'm certain that's what we all want, but the question is, is it obtainable? If the problem is that our skin is piling up dead skin cells, the only solution to this problem is to help the skin to shed these unnecessary cells and uncover the soft layer below. In this way, we can also help more moisture to get to the top layer of the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Turning the Tide of Aging Skin
A effective way to help our skin rebuild itself is by applying organic skin creams which speed skin cell renewal and help slough off the dead skin cells which are blocking your pores. Be careful, however, to choose a cream which will not only get rid of dead skin cells (such as exfoliation creams), but also will stimulate new cell production without causing trauma and irritation. Also, make sure that the cream doesn't include harsh chemicals and is all natural. If you follow these guidelines and use products like this, your face will soon start to look younger and more radiant than ever!
If you have felt a newborn's skin recently, you know how soft and moisturized it is. That is the same skin you were born with! Learn how to turn back the clock and get rid of your wrinkles and fine lines once and for all with this wrinkle cream that can regenerate damaged skin.
