Aging - When The Skin Becomes More
Demanding
Aging - State and Conditions Of Skin
Conditions and state of the skin remain changes several times in the course of our lives.
In childhood the skin is usually fine and tender, tends to be rather greasy during teenage,
young mature depending on the equipment dry, oily, or by the mixed skin type.
But all these different skin types can be "challenging" in the course of life.
"Sophisticated" or "mature" skin describes the terms elegant aging skin. The natural
aging process can at some point: are any skins to the demanding, mature or atrophic skin.
When the aging process is committed and the skin need, dry, sensitive - a Word is
"demanding", depends on various factors.
The Speed of Aging
Every organism ages, because you cannot change unfortunately. The speed of aging
operations but varies from person to person. Especially early signs of aging on the skin
are visible. First age characters can occur twenty sometimes with end. Already in this age
the speed of cell division decreases and fades the regeneration ability of skin cells. The
skin is then increasingly thin, red veins can shine through more and more. You will lose
elasticity, first wrinkles around the eyes and in the discreet occur. The circulation of the
skin and hence the supply of oxygen and nutrients is worse.
At the end of the thirtieth year of life begins the "maturation process" of the skin.
Depending on the way of life, already deeper wrinkles and extensive wrinkles can
conditionally caused by changes in the connective tissue. The skin relief can be total
coarser pores larger. In addition, the skin becomes dry, because the sebaceous glands
produce less and less fat with age. Also the skin ability to bind moisture decreases. Dry
skin tends often to feeling of tension, redness and itching. Mature, demanding skin is
more sensitive and vulnerable as a juvenile or oily. It is also more prone to drying out
eczema and infections and tends increasingly to the formation of pigment spots.
The menopause (menopause,), in which most women between mid-coming forty and fifty
Center have a particularly strong influence on the skin texture. The declining production
of female hormones leads to many changes in the female body, which express themselves
in body and soul: the skin loses its elasticity; many women now also increasingly suffer
from hair loss. Hot flashes, insomnia and depression affect psychological well-being and
the risk for osteoporosis and atherosclerosis is growing due to the hormone deficiency. A
drop of in estrogen levels is to blame for these complaints. The production of the
hormone in the ovaries decreases between the age of 35 and 45. Already, at the beginning
of menopause, the mirror is reduced even further. Menopause, women thus inevitably
come in a hormonal deficiency state. Already a few months after the beginning of
menopause many women notice that more wrinkles occur, decreases the firmness of the
skin and moisture and elasticity is lost. Already shortly after the beginning of the
menopause decreases the thickness of the skin, the blood circulation is poor, the skin
appears pale and sallow.
Time Aging - Aging of the Light
Whether the aging sooner or later uses, we part ourselves in the hand. Sunlight, poor
nutrition and nicotine are factors that can be rapidly age our skin.
We differentiate between two types of skin aging:
The aging of the time = intrinsic aging
The aging of the light = extrinsic aging.
The ageing of the time describes the natural aging of the skin. This is usually relatively
slowly. Causes of this intrinsic aging are in addition to our genetic material especially so
called free radicals and hormone deficiency.
The ageing of the light, however, is the aging of the time with seven mile boots ahead.
You can notice that on your own body. Compare body parts, rarely exposed the Sun, such
as stomach and butt, with the skin on the face and hands. You can find probably clear
skin determination. The UV light is responsible for the ageing of the light to 90%. To a
lesser extent, smoking, cold, wind, heat and other environmental factors contribute to the
acceleration of the aging of the skin. Light impaired skin can be with thirty years
"challenging" and an appropriately intensive care need. The elastic and collagen fibers of
connective tissue are damaged by years of exposure to sun rays. This weakening of the
skin's own "support structures" is a major cause of the formation of wrinkles.
Even outwardly differs in "intrinsically" from the "extrinsically" aged skin. The former is
very thin, vulnerable, wrinkled and dry. Translucent tubes are typical of this thin and
atrophic skin. The latter is thickened, limp, showing increased pigment changes and tends
more to itching.
Smoking Makes Us Old Faster
In addition to sunlight, nicotine is the second main reason for the accelerated extrinsic
skin ageing. The skin of smokers looks generally older than the skin of non-smokers.
Researchers from the United Kingdom now found the scientific explanation for this: the
skin of a smoker contains higher concentrations of a certain protein that destroyed the
supporting Collagen fibers in the connective tissue. This lack of skin elasticity ages
faster. Researchers have observed that smokers more wound healing disorders cause after
plastic surgery. As a result of bad skin condition of smokers, some clinics reject it with
heavy smokers who quit at least four weeks before surgery with smoking, to conduct a
plastic surgery.
Eating Properly Can Delay The Formation of Wrinkles
The diet contributes to a large extent on the State of our skin. Nutrition seems to be one
of the secrets of a smooth, soft skin. Australian researchers have found that people who
often eat fish, vegetables, legumes and low-fat dairy products, have fewer wrinkles. 453
People over 70 years were interviewed for the study, which was published in the
magazine "New Scientist", after their eating habits. That was in addition amount and
depth of wrinkles on the face and hands - in body areas that often are exposed the Sun -
determined via photomicrography. The food ingredients seemed effective against
wrinkles calcium, zinc, vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorus and iron accordingly.
Study reveals that participants who frequently ate sweets, meat and butter, had the most
wrinkles. Just as the people who often put out the Sun and smoked.
Measures Against Wrinkles
Light protection
Sun is the biggest enemy of the smooth skin. Therefore a day care with a high sun
protection factor in the UV-B and UV-A is area especially for the demanding skin
important.
Care
By carefully to the type of skin care products, the signs of aging can delay or even reduce
within certain limits. Rich products with high-quality active ingredients are particularly
important for demanding skin. They should strengthen the barrier function, protect,
smooth wrinkles, regenerating effect and "mending" influence on skin damage.
Fruit acid products
In particular the thickened by Sun and smoking a pre-aged skin speaks off very well to
treatment with fruit acids. The stratum layer is narrowed as a result; the skin becomes
again brighter.
Hormones
Hormone deficiency state can speed up the formation of wrinkles! Workaround can
create here an exceptionally, individually tailored gift of missing hormones by the
gynecologists. The skin shows especially good on a hormonal treatment when it is very
thin and vulnerable (intrinsically aged skin).
Vitamins
Various vitamins are known in orthomolecular medicine, which can delay the ageing of
the skin. The vitamins A and E are particularly important.
Vitamin A, the fountain of youth for skin:
Vitamin A is important in particular of the cells of the skin for the normal development of
tissues. It smoothes the skin and prevents dehydration and dandruff. It also provides
strong hair and nails. Vitamin A belongs to the Group of the so called antioxidants
because it can capture harmful free radicals in the body.
Vitamin A is found in its biologically active form only in animal foods such as egg yolks,
milk, butter, fish oil and fish. The recommended daily amount of vitamin A is 0.8 to 1.8
mg.
Beta carotene is a precursor of vitamin and is converted into the intestine to vitamin A.
Beta carotene is included in almost all green, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables
such as lamb's lettuce, broccoli, avocado, spinach, Zucchini, green cabbage, carrot,
paprika, tomato, pumpkin, apricot, mango, melon, papaya, peach mushrooms and
legumes.
The recommended daily amount of beta carotene is higher than that for pure vitamin A
and is 2 to 4 mg.
Vitamin E, the old-age protection:
Vitamin E protects our body from the attack of so called "free radicals" caused by
smoking, alcohol and UV rays. These aggressive substances are jointly responsible for
that age cells and formations of wrinkles. Vitamin E provides sufficient moisture for the
skin, making it smooth and supple and ensures a sufficient blood flow. In addition, it has
a calming and anti-inflammatory effect. Vitamin E almost contains in most of the
Vitamin E is found in: cucumber (with skin), cauliflower, kale, spinach, zucchini (with
skin), avocados, dates, nuts, mango, and in wheat germ oil, corn oil, safflower oil,
sunflower oil, olive oil, grape seed oil, germs. The recommended daily requirement of
vitamin E is 15 mg.
