There are specific reasons why skin 'grows old' before its
time. Most skin ages prematurely. Women (and men) often
show accelerated signs of aging that could be prevented or
reversed naturally. Your skin was created to completely
replace itself every 28 days from the very cells that gave
you the youthful skin as a baby. Wrinkles, sagging skin and
other visible signs of aging indicate the skin has
degenerated.
So, what causes lines and wrinkles? They are caused by many
factors - primarily stress and the accumulation of toxic
chemicals in the skin.
Toxic Chemicals
Synthetic chemicals cause pollution in the body. As the
largest organ of the body, the skin is often called upon to
neutralize potential damage as well as to attempt to
eliminate the toxins. This can result degeneration -
causing a cascade of problems that can include wrinkles,
sagging skin, loss of elasticity and loss of vital life
force. For example, synthetic detergents in cleansers break
down the skin's own moisture and oil barriers, leaving skin
stripped, dehydrated and vulnerable. Synthetic emulsifiers
and binders disrupt collagen and other connective tissue
causing it to lose elasticity and become brittle.
Other toxins include:
- Dioxin can visibly accelerate the appearance of aging.
Many skin and personal care products are contaminated with
this carcinogenic and hormone-disrupting toxin. Avoid
products with PEG, Triclosan or Sodium Laurel Sulfate
ingredients.
- Detergents over-cleanse and strip the skin of important
nutrients. Commonly used detergents include SLS, SLES,
Betaines and soaps.
- Destructive free radicals can be stimulated by the use
of bar soap, alpha hydroxyl acids, synthetic fragrance and
color pigments.
- Preservatives like Imidazolidinyl Urea and DMDM
Hydantoin contain free formaldehyde which can increase
inflammation rashes. It's been implicated in DNA damage,
inhibiting DNA repair as well as causing cancer.
Stress
Facial muscles display how we feel through various
expressions. Repeated facial movements under excessive
stress cause aging to be even more accelerated. This
happens when we try to mask / hide the presence of fear,
anger or insecurity. Lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and
other signs of accelerating aging are cause from undue
tension trapped in the face.
- Repeated facial expression - especially under stress,
creases the muscle and skin tissue as well.
- Tension restricts blood flow and oxygen, causing cells
to starve and become weak or die prematurely.
- Stress activates release of excessive adrenal-based
chemicals that flood the body and hold tension in place.
- Stress factors can initiate premature signs of aging,
leading connective tissue to degrade. Sagging skin is often
a result. With accumulated stress and chemical damage,
connective tissue can fray and draw skin into small
creases/fine lines.
Those are just two examples that can lead to a cascade of
cellular breakdowns that degenerate our beautiful, youthful
skin. Very few scientists, medical professionals or
cosmetic companies are dealing with these two major
problems. So, here are suggested steps to help YOU take
control and reverse wrinkles naturally:
Step One - eliminate toxic chemicals that contribute to
premature aging and wrinkles.
Step Two - help retrain and restore the Muscle Memory to
skin, muscles and myofacial tissue by applying clinically
proven, organic skin care products to feed the cells and
create smooth, younger looking skin.
Finally - by adding unique techniques to retrain the facial
muscles, you can create muscle tone for an everlasting
youthful look - reversing wrinkles naturally.
