Popular to contrary belief, the lower
dermis is where all the action is. So, by physically/ chemically exfoliating
the superficial layer of skin ie: the dead skin cells, the lower dermis can be
activated. This way, you will be able to change the texture and
firmness of your skin.
Think of the top layers of your skin as
a dried sponge. If you get it wet, it will soften and plump, if you leave the
sponge out on the counter, it will just dry up again. Consequently, you will
have a temporary change, but inevitably, the sponge will go back to its
original dry state.
Therefore if your products and
treatments only work on the surface, all you’re going to get is a temporary
effect and no real change. Most important is to open up channels in the skin to deliver
nutrients, antioxidants, hydration, and the essential building blocks to build
support structures as in collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and healthy new
skin cells… and the only way to do this is to get past the top layers and
slough them off. The result will be skin that appears smooth, soft,
firm, radiant, AND the look won’t wash off.
Here are some ways to
help kick start your skin into action:
1. Start on a regular program of daily cell renewal, using a high concentration of retinol.
2. Accelerate
resurfacing with more aggressive professional resurfacing treatments
(microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser peels).
3. Supplement
your daily resurfacing regimen, with application of nutrient rich antioxidants
and growth factors.
4. Use
targeted products to treat specific conditions: acne, hyperpigmentation,
rosacea, undereye circles, etc.
5. Use
injectables such as *Botulinum Toxin to smooth
the fine lines and *fillers to fill in the deeper wrinkles. Be
sure to ask your doctor for his/her brand recommendations, though, as not all
fillers are the same.
6. Apply
sun protection every day.
7.
Stay on track with proper coaching and support from your skincare specialist.
