Top 3 Ways to keep skin youthful, hydrated and healthy
Increased Blood Circulation
The skin's activity, repair capabilities, and appearance are all dependent on immune support, antioxidants, and nutrients from it's blood supply. No skin condition is better off with less blood flow. Your skin care ingredients, skin treatments, and lifestyle choices have a dramatic influence on your blood circulation. Avoid stress, caffeine, vitamin K and horse chestnut, as they all work to restrict blood flow - robbing your skin of essential nutrition leading to starvation and aging skin. Our skin needs a constant supply of antioxidants and nutrients to function optimally, and circulation of blood is what delivers these vital ingredients.
Stimulation of the Fibroblasts (make collagen, elastin and GAG’s)
The key remodeling components in the skin are fibroblasts. Fibroblasts make collagen, elastin and GAG’s - the three ingredients to youthful, taut, toned and soft skin. These three elements are instrumental in slowing down the skin aging process. The most well known GAG is hylauronic acid. We produce it naturally, however, as we age it decreases and we see this as a decrease in skin plumpness and hydration. As for collagen, the most powerful collagen stimulator is vitamin A . At SKN Clinic we prefer the retinaldehyde form of vitamin A because it is the most potent and least irritating. Daily use of vitamin A in combination with antioxidants, and other topical nutrients is essential to healthy skin. Aside from topical, the food we eat daily and the lifestyle choices we make greatly effect the collagen, elastin and GAG’s.
Daily Dose of Super Antioxidants to Nourish and Protect Your Skin
Our skin’s protection is happening at a cellular level and involves a constant replenishment of antioxidants. Three of the most potent are glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and vitamin C. Your anti-aging program should contain these three powerhouses. They will work to reduce damage and allow the skin to rebuild itself, resulting in a thicker, healthier dermis. Research has revealed that one of the primary reasons cells age is the damage to DNA caused by free radicals. These super antioxidants have the ability to repair and protect DNA by elevating levels of the body's natural free radical fighters.
