AGE DEFYING:
LOOKING YOUNGER, HEALTHY & PRETTY.
Many people desire healthy, beautiful, and adorable appearance, which, though, includes flashy dresses, smart hairs and wigs, but the most important fact, here, I a natural younger, healthy and plump skin. Of course, not rapidly aged skin plastered with all manner of cosmetic powders and pastes.
When some individuals we admire are spotted unprepared, they appear quite opposite or in contrast to their appearances in public or events.
Don’t be be deceived, ” Self esteem or confidence ” is drawn from a Healthy and Pretty status.
Who says, that can’t be achieved? If our ancestors could achieve that without the sophisticated techs and tools we have now, why can’t we? The difference is in proper knowledge and understanding of our skins- dos and don’ts.
First the physiological and pathological behaviors and processes of the skin aging, inflammation, irritation and dermatitis. And the achievement, regenerative and restorative processes for that radiant, younger, healthy and beautiful body- skin, we desire.
It’s possible, simple and easy. Just follow the subsequent posts on these.
Let us start with the Physiological and Pathological behaviors and processes of Skin aging.:
SKIN AGING:
This is a complex process influenced by
a). INTRINSIC-Internal natural processes- which includes.
.Thinning of the outer skin- epidermis.
. Diminishing sebaceous glands activity- (that produces skin natural oils).
.Accumulation of reactive oxygen species leading to oxidative stress..
. Slower wound healing.
These processes are in turn caused by.
. Reduced cell turn over.
. Decreased production of collagen and elastin.
. Loss of dermal thickness and hydration.
a) EXTRINSIC processes- external environmental influences that contribute to skin aging– which includes.
. DNA damage and mutations.
. Increased production of a factor( MMPs) that degrades collagen.
. Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture.
These processes are in turn caused by.
. UV radiation ( photoaging)
. Pollution .
. Poor diet .
2) SKIN INFLAMMATION, IRRITATION, AND DERMATITIS.
These conditions overlap and result from Immune Responses or external irritants.
A) SKIN INFLAMMATION:
These are through these processes.
. Activation of inflammatory factors.
. Redness, swelling and heat due to the dilation of the veins.
They are caused by.
. Immune dysregulation ( eg psoriasis , atopic dermatitis)- as you follow up you will understand).
. Environmental irritants that come in contact with your skin.
. Skin Infection our skin could be exposed to.
b) SKIN IRRITATION.
These, also, are the processes.
. Disruption of the skin barrier .
. Water loss and nerval activation causing burning and itching.
These are caused by .
. Contact with irritants– ( detergent, acid etc.).
. Physical damage, ( abrasions).
C) DERMATITIS ( ECZEMA) .
Processes are.
. Chronic inflammation.
. Pruritus ( itching), leading to scratching and secondary infections.
Caused by.
. Allergens ( contact dermatitis)
. Genetic factors affecting the skin barriers (atopic dermatitis).
Apologies; These pots have to start from the cellular and fundamental levels for those who really desire sound knowledge and understanding and proper ways of preventing and slowing down aging.
However as you follow the subsequent posts they will become clearer and easy.
In the next post, we’ll look at the Remedial Processes, items and routines you need, to be in control of your skin status. Trust me, you would be happy you follow.
