PRINCIPLES OF ANTI-AGING SKIN

EPIDERMIS 

The outermost layer of human skin is composed of keratinocytes and contains melanocytes. Its main function is to store water. This layer has a 28-day skin metabolism cycle. However, with the influence of factors such as age and the external environment, the rate of keratin metabolism renewal slows down. The abnormal accumulation of old waste keratin will cause moisture loss and rough skin. When the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, the melanin in the epidermis will also precipitate, become dull and cause spots.

 

DERMIS 

It contains collagen and elastic fibers, which can provide support and elasticity for the skin, and secrete nutrients to supply the epidermis. However, when the productivity of fibroblasts decreases, the collagen decreases and the dermis becomes thinner, which will reduce the support of the skin, loss of elasticity and plumpness. If the aforementioned sun exposure penetrates deep into the dermis, it will also cause wrinkles on the skin.

SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE 

It’s the innermost layer of skin which compose of fat. When fat is reduced, wrinkles, sunken cheeks, saggy skin appear on the face.

How to prevent wrinkles? 

The key to prevent superficial wrinkles is to moisturize, but to prevent deep wrinkles caused by dermal depression, the focus is to keep collagen. We can use anti-aging skin care products or oral collagen supplements. Besides, daily sun protection is essential.

How to prevent saggy skin?

The most common way is to gently massage your skin to make essences to penetrate deep into skin.

How to prevent the formation of dullness? 

Keratin accumulation need to be regularly metabolized. And yellow-brown dullness is caused by glycation, we should pay attention to the intake of sugar. Use sun protection products to avoid the formation of melanin dullness.

角蛋白積累需要定期代謝。 而黃褐色暗沉是糖化引起的,需要注意糖分的攝取。 使用防曬產品,避免黑色素暗沉的形成。

How to prevent spots? 如何預防斑點? 

Ultraviolet rays stimulate melanocytes, so we can use sun protection. As to skincare products, Vitamin C derivatives show brightening results.

How to prevent rough skin? 

The stratum corneum of the skin is like a sponge. When the sponge is full of water, it becomes soft. We must first do a good job of moisturizing, but also regularly remove dead skin cells from face.

How to prevent pores? 

Clogged pores are the result of dead skin cells getting trapped in the skin. Clogged pores turn into blackheads, whitehead, and acne. The way to prevent pores is to clean your face daily, including regularly clean your makeup brush kit and pillowcase. Use skincare products which contain Salicylic acid as prevention of acne.
