The skin is the largest organ of our body and just like we need to have a check up for our general health, and take our cars in for a service, so too is it important to take a preventative approach when it comes to skin.
Over time, our skin loses its 'babyface' and along with that its youthful appearance. If left unchecked, we can go from a plump and juicy grape to a shriveled up, dried sultana!
Natural ageing of the skin is sped up by a number of factors
The clock starts ticking early!
From our 30's early wrinkles and sunspots appear. Skin can become blotchy and pigmented and lacks youthful radiance and lustre.
By our 40's collagen and elastin break down and the skin looks dehydrated. Lines become more prominent and folds appear.
At 50, cell turnover reduces leading to further deepening of lines and folds, skin becomes drier or may break out due to hormonal imbalances and loss of fat cells and bone mass leads to shrinkage of facial features and saggy skin as well as thinning of the skin and transparency with the appearance of vessels.
There are a number of ways to act preventatively for our skin. Just as diet and exercise are important for our general wellbeing, so too is it for our skin.
