| Aging Skin |
| By: David Maillie |
Aging skin is probably the only skin condition that neither of
us can avoid. We all grow old, and so does our skin. And sadly,
it will definitely show. Maybe this is why this has sparked so
much interest for dermatologists as well as your everyday
average person walking down the street - in short, everyone.
Over the years, countless medications, treatments, and products
have been developed, that aim to halt or at least slow down the
skin's aging process. Nowadays, people are living longer and
more active lifestyles compared to past generations. For today's
generation, you have to feel good to look good, in as much as
you have to look good to feel good.
According to dermatologists and skin experts, the process of
skin aging has two factors that usually work together in this
life long skin drama anthology. There's natural aging due to the
constant, unavoidable increase in chronological age, and then
there's solar aging, which is mainly due to the harsh effects of
the sun.
Natural aging is the cause of a number of environmental and
genetic factors. As the skin ages, the cell movement from its
basal layer (or the innermost layer) of the epidermis, to the
stratum corneum (or the outermost layer) becomes slower. In
other words, cells that replace old or damaged skin tissue on
the surface gets there at a slower rate, thus cells are shed
more slowly. The skin surface therefore becomes rougher, with a
visibly uneven texture. This in turn tends to make the skin look
dull, dry and wrinkled. Also, as a result of this, the epidermis
becomes thinner and the skin becomes more fragile.
Dr. Alison Meynard, leading dermatologist at the Facial Care
Center states "...the deterioration of the skin can also be
attributed to some genetic influences. Some factors in natural
skin aging, such as the speed of deterioration, can be
determined by an individual's genetic make up. Medical research
is constantly being done to find new ways of improving the skin
ageing process depending on a person's genetic history. "
Solar aging on the other hand, is brought about by the harsh
effects of the sun. Sunlight is also a cause of significant skin
damage and it is unfortunate that the results of this are not
immediately noticeable. Sun-loving people who bask in golden
rays on the beach on a regular basis actually expose their skin
to the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Scientists
state that even during cloudy weather, ultraviolet rays from the
sun are still able to penetrate and damage the skin and that
tanning beds are of no alternative either because they'll do
just as much damage.
So does this mean our sunbathing days are over? Not by a long
shot. Skin experts say that we just need to minimize sun
exposure, especially during summer. And when we do go out, it is
important to always have the necessary (and the right)
protection from the heat. The selection of the right sun screen
and / or sun block depends on its ability to protect your skin
from both UVA and UVB radiation. In addition, products with SPF
or Sun Protection Factor must have a value of 15 at the very
least, and applied 30 minutes before going out under the sun.
For long walks in the heat, make sure to reapply this protection
every two hours.
However, if you're one of those who are looking to have a
younger, smoother complexion than what you have at present,
