Facing the facts about Facial Ageing
Your face ages in many different and specific ways. Some changes come from the outside—namely the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays and environmental exposures—and others come from the inside, such as your genes and age.
Your face ages in many different and specific ways. Some changes come from the outside—namely the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays and environmental exposures—and others come from the inside, such as your genes and age. Together, these external and internal forces control how quickly and radically your face ages. You can’t stop facial aging, but you can control how well you age by taking protective measures, early in life and also making lifestyle adjustments as we age.
Time may be flying by each day but there are things you can do with the proper anti-aging skincare to make your skin look its best at any age. What we do need to target are key physiological responses in the skin, restoration, repair, nutrition, and cellular division.
Combatting the 6 signs of Ageing Skin
Thinning Skin
During menopause, the production of the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone shuts down. This affects everything from your skin and hair to your bones and heart. Your skin becomes dryer and thinner during and after menopause. You may also lose some fat under your skin, and your skin becomes less elastic. This can result in sagging–especially around the neck.
Skin that is becoming thinner with age needs the most nourishing daily moisturizer. The two superheroes that we recommend are the Hydralift Intensive Complex and the DNA Repair Crème.
Loss of Elasticity
As hormones decline along with the intercellular messaging systems that signal the skin to stay strong, loss of elasticity in the skin, the skin no longer “bounces back” quickly if you press on it because of the loss of collagen and a related component called elastin. You may also lose some fat under your skin, resulting in lack of tone —especially around the neck.
You can boost the production of these essential qualities in your skin by using our Derma Roller System. Roll the microneedling tool across your face to cause painless superficial stimulation of your skin. It will increase production of collagen to make your skin look plumper and more voluminous.
Dehydration
Skin that is tight and dry is uncomfortable at any age. One of the best steps you can take is to add a good Hyaluronic acid serum to your daily routine. TheraGenesis Hydralift Serum is A unique serum that reshapes, restructures and firms mature skin while resisting dehydration from transepidermal waterloss. Certified Organic lipactive Inca Inchi Oil®, rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9, protects and softens skin by preserving the natural lipid balance. Hyaluronic Acid and Konjac Spheres penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis absorbing water that evaporates from the deep dermis. The volume of the spheres increases, rapidly tightening the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and leaving an elastic skin surface with long lasting hydration.
Dullness
Dullness is a sign dead skin cells build-up. Your skin cells don’t turn over as fast when you get older, so it’s important to commit to an exfoliation routine. Lactic Microfoliant is a dual manual and acid based scrub that loosens and dissolves devitalized cells exposing a more youthful appearance. Mild Flower Acids improve the barrier function and hydration of the skin resulting in smooth, improved.
Lines Around the Eyes
Dynamic wrinkles develop over time when you use your muscles to form facial expressions such as smiles and frowns. Dynamic wrinkles morph into static wrinkles when your skin loses its spring. Static wrinkles, by contrast, are there all the time because of the decrease in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Those pesky little lines that show up around your eyes are one of the first signs of aging. If you aren’t treating the eye area with the right anti-aging skincare products you are missing out on the opportunity to brighten your eyes and make your skin appear younger.
This highly concentrated oligopeptide treatment is a botanical remedy that targets concerns typically associated with chronological aging in and around the eye area. Based on clinical studies, skin became firmer and more elastic in appearance in as little as 8 weeks.
Redefine the appearance of wrinkles. This intensive age-defining revitalizing serum contains Argireline™ and GABA to relax muscular tension, preventing and softening the appearance of fine lines. Syn-coll™ replicates collagen synthesis combating visible signs of aging resulting from collagen depletion.
Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation
Age spots or hyperpigmentation happens because of sun damage to the skin. Hands down sun damage is the greatest threat to premature ageing. Even if you have been diligent about sunscreen through the years, they still might show up on your face. Retinol is considered the gold standard of antiaging and including a Retinol based product into your routine can help alleviate some of the chronological and environmental signs of ageing.
An intensive high potency anti-aging 1% retinol crème offers advanced revitalizing benefits for environmentally damaged, mature, dry or prematurely aging skin. SYN-COLL mimics the skins collagen production mechanism therefore combats visible signs of aging related to collagen depletion.
