PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE

3-Parts

(Dry Skin, Oily Skin, Combination Skin)

One of the questions most of our clients ask concerns whether or not skin on the fact ages faster than the skin on the rest of the body.  While there is no scientific evidence to support the answer, the preponderance of evidence appears to be that whatever skin we have most exposed to the sun ages quickest.  In fact, it’s not actually the aging process but what we expose our skin to and how we treat our skin is the basis for the rate at which it ages.

Dermatologists explain it like this.  Aging occurs two ways, intrinsic and extrinsic.

Intrinsic is a rate of aging that occurs as time passes, while external or extrinsic is a formula calculated by intrinsic aging plus external factors – sun exposure, pollution, rough treatment, the cosmetics we use, the diseases of life, and various inflammations that are caused by harsh detergents.

To visually see for yourself the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic, look at the skin on your face vs. skin on you inner arm.  Collagen, which is a protein, is one of the substances that gives our skin its youthful feel and appearance.  Wrinkles are actually created as little scars that are formed when the collagen is damaged by all of the various items described in the above paragraph.  Critical to our long-term skin care health is understanding whether we have naturally dry, oily, or combination skin and caring for it accordingly.
