Understanding Skin Functions

How Skin Ages

DAMAGED SKIN

Over time, typical aging and destruction from the natural environment (sun, stress and pollution) cause skin to lose its capability to 'renew' itself correctly. Cell turnover slows, causing the lifeless skin layer on the stratum corneum otherwise exterior to remain thicker and slowing the stream of moisture from inside, ensuing into dry uneven skin consistency. Skin cells are disordered and distorted. Day after day exposure to sunlight causes the amount of pigment inside every cell to spread, producing freckles otherwise age spots and uneven skin tone. Collagen and elastin set in motion to break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting into fine lines, wrinkles and drooping.

YOUR TRANSFORMATION

The skin's cellular functions are accelerated allowing continual renewal while exhausted skin cells are replaced by fresh cells pushed to the skin's surface, making the exterior (stratum corneum) smoother and naturally hydrated. Freckles and age spots seem to disappear. Pigment cells (melanin) are further evenly spread, helping prevent the growth of additional freckles and age spots. The skin is rich in collagen and elastin so as to promote resilience and firmness. All these functions go to work simultaneously to keep skin looking and acting younger and healthier.
