Shed Your Skin
Wrinkles and spots are the price we now pay for those afternoons
on the beach 20 years ago slathered in oil. Now with wrinkles,
aging, and smoking lines we want to fix our faces. We want to
shed our wrinkled, spotted skin and look fresher. Shedding the
outer layer skin is like an animal shedding its skin. The
peeling away the upper layer of skin helps unclogs our pores,
remove toxins and when exfoliated and washed off, the newer and
cleaner cells come to the fresh surface; leaving a soft, clean,
fresher face. You can now do this at home using Five Star Nights
anti-aging skin care line made only from organic and natural
ingredients, no harsh chemical peels. You can even pronounce all
the ingredients!
Tempe, Arizona (PRWEB) October 11, 2005
Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or a combination of alpha hydroxy
acids (AHAs) and BHAs, have appeared as ingredients in
anti-aging skin care products. While both AHAs and BHAs act as
exfoliants, AHAs are a group of weak organic acids, which easily
penetrates the skin barrier. AHAs also have a moisturizing
effect. By increasing the moisture content of upper skin layers,
AHAs smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, as well as relieve
dryness and flakiness.
Organic AHA ingredients: derived from fruit, sugar cane, and
milk sugars and served up in creams and lotions. The most
commonly used and most effective AHAs are glycolic and lactic
acids. Both of these easily penetrate the skins surface, and
they have the most accumulated research on their functionality
and benefit for skin. Glycolic and Lactic acids dissolve the
"skins cement" that binds the dead skin cells to the surface of
your skin. The cells loosen and wash off or peel off. This
allows the newer cells underneath to come to the surface.
Eliminating dead skin can unplug pores, allow normal oil flow
through and out of the pores, allows skin moisture by enhancing
moisture uptake, and binds water to the skin.
AHAs and BHAs use a chemical process to penetrate the skin,
versus salt and sugar scrubs that use friction and scrape the
exposed area of skin. AHAs and BHAs only exfoliate, or remove
the dead/damaged skin cells and leave the healthy skin cells
alone. It is highly recommended using sunscreen as AHA causes
skin sensitivity and you may burn easier. Wear a hat with a brim
of at least 4 inches, long sleeve shirt, and sunscreen of SPF
15. AHA may cause irritation or redness.
Remember: Sun Protection used everyday is the Best Wrinkle
Preventer.
