"True skin" secrets - how to rejuvenate your skin

As you get older the lines on your face become more visible. The skin becomes thinner and drier. It is a natural process and is largely influenced by your genes. On the other hand, there are some other factors that can cause premature skin ageing. Such factors are a lifetime exposure to sun, acne, personal habits (smoking and diet), stress, even gravity, and pollution.

Some of these factors you cannot fight, but there are those you can control by taking preventive actions. With these actions, you can slow down the effects that this sort of ageing has on your facial skin.

Powerful fibres

As we all know, the skin has more than one layer. The layer that we need to take care of in order to ease up the ageing process is dermis - the second skin layer, also called “the true skin”.

The dermis consists of powerful fibres made of a protein called collagen, which is elegantly woven into a very perplex tissue. Although the dermis needs to be solid, it must also be elastic and adaptable to allow us to move comfortably.

Regain the natural beauty look

Medicine and nature offer a bunch of options that can help you rejuvenate your skin and bring it its natural beauty, elasticity, and freshness.

Layer by layer

One of these options is certainly laser skin resurfacing. This treatment eliminates the skin’s dead cells, one layer after another, with precise accuracy. After this treatment, the skin on your face will be tighter and you will seem even younger. You can go for a series of lighter treatments or have a deeper one.

Deep skin dive

The other treatment you may try is microdermabrasion. With this treatment, your skin surface is scrubbed with propelling abrasive particles. A usual number of treatments are five to ten within a 10 to 14 days span or whenever your skin starts to look dreary. A good point about this treatment is that it helps chemical peel ingredients to go much deeper into the skin. Another benefit is that it can be used on darker skin tones without the possibility of changing the pigment.

Peel it to remove it

If your quest is to just improve your fine lines and discolouration, your choice should be the chemical peel treatment. You can do it either at home or in the dermatologist’s office and there is no recovery time. These peels generally use the acid such as glycocil to remove the outermost layers of skin. For this treatment, you will need a series of eight to 10 visits to your dermatologist, distributed in a few weeks or more apart. It is of the utmost importance that a professional provides you this treatment.

Give me the light

Another treatment from which your skin can benefit is BBL (broad band light). As experts from SilkwoodMedical explain, BBL is used to penetrate the dermis, causing the skin a heating effect. By treating skin with this light the effects of sun damage are brought to the minimum and the signs of redness are dispersed, while the vascular conditions are kept under control. Additionally, this process remodels collagen and the treatment lasts for about three months. The outcome is fresher and healthier looking skin.

Eat it or rub it

Using the right skincare may also help in skin improvement. A lot of products are available on the market, so if your budget doesn’t allow for an in-office treatment to help rejuvenate your skin, you can slow down its ageing by consuming the right foods or rubbing it on your face.

You can start by adding natural antioxidants to your everyday skincare routine such as papaya, cucumber, tea, aloe, lemon and many other. You can add lemon to honey, make a facial mask with a mashed cucumber. The possibilities are many. Treating your skin with home remedies that bring into play some of the nature’s most forceful ingredients can provide a refreshing eruption of skin rejuvenation.

In addition, water consumption is also very important in skin rejuvenation and in overall safe and healthy life. Therefore, in order to revitalise your face and clear out those toxins from your body, drink as much water as you can on a daily basis.

The sum and substance

In order to set up an adequate skincare routine, you need to understand the basics of how it behaves and self-regulates. The most efficient way to help lift the look of your lines, wrinkles, discolouration and sagging skin is to know which parts and bits of your skin to target with the right ingredients.

Your skin is a dynamic organ able to repair and restore itself to better its semblance. Providing it with the right treatments and nutrients will help to boost these functions.
