Exfoliation and Age Effects

by Valerie DeVette

How can a natural exfoliation product change the look and feel of your aging skin?

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

During this time, the sebaceous, or oil-producing glands also become less active, leaving the skin somewhat drier. While no skin care product will stop this natural 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 help the skin by supplementing its regular exfoliation mechanism with exfoliating treatments. Removing dead 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.

What are the benefits of exfoliating my skin regularly?

Only when you eliminate the dead skin on your face will your beautiful new skin reveal itself and begin to glow again.

Where is that beautiful, radiant new skin hiding?

It's there. You simply still can't see it.

The "glue" that holds dead skin onto our faces was once very pliant, but unfortunately it hardens as we grow up. If you're wondering why your face looks dull, it's because you're looking at dead 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 helping your living skin.

And here's another advantage: The devitalized skin on your face tends to sag and form wrinkles. Your new baby skin underneath will have a thickened tautness and smoothness you believed was gone...It was there all along, just disguised.

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

The Exfoliation Process on Sensitive Skin

Will the use of exfoliants cause my skin to be more sensitive?

Whether applying exfoliants as natural skin care at home or undergoing a series of treatments in a skin care center, it is very important to keep in mind 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 notice 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 needed for the exfoliation process to work best for you and get the full array of results you wish.

Avoid the consequences of aging and several skin ailments applying a new natural skin treatment, made only with natural ingredients.
