Consistently Working For Skin Rejuvenation
By the Editor | May 23, 2010
Here’s a brief look at the latest research in skin rejuvenation. It seems that a more youthful look is something that anyone can have, if they work at it.
How hard is the work? It takes motivation and consistency to achieve and maintain results on your own.
If you were a one-time sun worshiper, you won’t see an immediate change unless you are willing to invest in cosmetic surgery or spa treatments. If you have good skin right now, keeping it is relatively easy.
A person’s lifestyle can affect their appearance as much as anything else. Researchers have known for years that cigarette smoking, lack of sleep and overexposure to sunlight contribute to a prematurely aged appearance.
So, the first steps are preventative measures that will allow your skin’s natural reparative processes to work optimally. As long as your exposure to damaging toxins is minimal, your body can take care of itself, assuming it is given the right nutrients and just a little daily care.
You should always try to get 8 hours of sleep. If you make an effort to be in bed by 11pm, you should be sound asleep between the hours of 1am and 3am. That’s when your body produces the most human growth hormone (HGH).
Some of the creams for skin rejuvenation contain growth factors like HGH. They help to reduce sun damage, stimulate collagen production and decrease wrinkles.
If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will produce too many stress hormones, which cause inflammation and degrade collagen. Collagen production is a relatively slow process.
Without help, it can take 30 years to produce a new collagen fiber. So you want to protect the collagen that you have and stimulate the body to produce more of it.
Growth factors are not the only cosmetic ingredients that stimulate collagen production. Peptide complexes are also effective according to a study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Peptides are something like protein fragments.
Eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of pure water, eating antioxidant rich foods and always remembering the value of a good moisturizer are among the other steps with proven benefits for skin rejuvenation.
