Let us take a look now at aging skin.

Aging skin can be recognized by it’s poor elasticity..lack of firmness and the sagging.. this is because of the loosening of the fibroblast in the dermis.
It also is characterized by a thicker stratum cornrum with a thin epidermis and also dermis.....because of dehydration and dryness it has lines and wrinkles and etchings...there is little oil gland activity and it takes on the look of “old ivory”.....because the melarlin production diminishes.. I love these people.( truly I do) These are the ones you can recognize who have wisdom..and strength .. these are the ones you need to turn to for advice and answers to life’s questions.

This process is a biological one which affects various layers of the skin…..mostly the dermis.
Nutritional values begin to get deficient and the process takes a toll on the cellular components with-in the different tissues. This impacts the elasticity, a reduction in moisture levels and the skin begins to degenerate.

Very little can be done if the aging process is intrinsic or chronological. It will happen to each and every one of us if we live into our late late years. It is just apart of the passage of time. Intrinsic aging is irreversible.

Extrinsic aging is something we can help prevent.. It is caused by hormonal imbalances, outdoor environment such as wind, sun, heat, cold, this destroys cells and robs the epidermis of essential moisture and oils. Other factors that cause extrinsic aging is stress, your life style ( partying too too much) , improper skin care products or not caring for the skin at all, health issues, improper diets. If your spending any amount of time in the sunshine.. use a sun factor of 15 or higher on the face and neck…don’t forget those ears!!!!

Current anti-aging crèmes and lotions emphasize “return to a smoother younger appearance”… Look for products containing AHAs and Vitamin A and its derivatives..
When treating aging skin it is important you pick products that hydrate but also stimulate and revitalize the skin. No one product or ingredient can accomplish this for an individual. A complete skin care regime is necessary.
It’s never too early to begin a good skin care program..
Encourage your guests to protect their skin and tan in moderation.
You will see some who are very etched and saggy.. it is your job to advise them to hydrate the skin .. Remember they are your BEST advertisement.

If a good skin care program is a regular pratice for you, you can have beautiful skin in your golden years..

Look Good Feel Good, Have Fun..
C
