How Skin Ages: Inside View
Want to maintain a youthful complexion and stop your skin's aging process in its tracks? Wouldn't we all. But while the signs of skin aging are inevitable, fine lines and wrinkles can be improved. Young skin renews itself every three to four weeks – giving it a smooth texture and rosy appearance. This process slows down as you age -- complete renewal soon takes 5-6 weeks. Top layers lose moisture resulting in a thinner, more dehydrated appearance and the skin ends up looking rough and dull. Well, now that we've depressed you with the inevitable process of aging, what can be done about it? Retinol! Retinol is the purest and most active form of Vitamin A. Topically applied to the skin it penetrates into the cells and encourages the cells to continue regular cell renewal. Research shows the positive effects retinol has on smoothing lines and wrinkles. Now that you're armed with the knowledge of how your skin ages and what you can do about it, go ahead – smile, without worrying about laugh lines, and you'll always have That Certain Something.
