About Face!
Your facial structure is made up of a lot of things but mainly bone, fat pads, soft tissues, muscles, blood supply and YES, skin. All of the pieces and parts play a vital role in the youthful structure of your face. It's really easy to get focused on just the skin alone but this is misguided!
We're born with 15 layers of superficial skin and we die with 15 layers. We can't change that fact no matter how much we exfoliate or peel away the surface. The skin itself is only a tiny part of the puzzle. Harsh chemicals, excessive alcohol, stress, peels, smoking, over exfoliation and stripping the skin begins to degrade not only the surface, but the deeper tissues and structures of the face and skin as well! The wounding to rejuvenate approach for skin improvements are popular, but in my experience, ALWAYS yield short lived results. There's no way to candy coat it. The results are just not sustainable this is why they have to be repeated again and again which only to continue to degrade the face over time. When we continue to reach for treatments like lasers, repeated peels and other harsh approaches to the face, its creates a build up of damage and breakdown over time and that begins to show as you age.
Our skin thrives best on how well its “fed”. One of the major players of support to our skin and facial integrity is the circulation which carries blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the face. As we age, and depending on what we’ve done to the face, we can lose up to 30% of healthy circulation in the face. These results are the dull, sallow, lifeless appearance that we sometimes see in aged or damaged skin. When you choose facial rejuvenation with something harsh like a laser, it can cause permanent damage to the capillaries, fat pads and the deeper collagen in the face that may not be up for the challenge of repair depending on age, health and lifestyle.
I posted this before and after picture of me to tell you a little bit about what I've been doing for my FACE over the years. The before picture was taken in 2006. The after picture was taken recently without a filter. (I'm 59 in August). In the before picture I wasn't committed to my face and skin care. I was using random things here and there with no focus. I knew nothing about bioavailable skin care products, facial massage and Gua sha, the immense benefits of varying types of bioavailable supplementation for the whole body and skin, diet for biohacking, and most of all I had not yet heard of retinaldehyde…which has been a game changer for my face! Of course, my face has aged since all those years ago. However I've always avoided options like peels, lasers, fillers or surgeries. Continuing to support the skins ability to "feed" itself has helped the entire face and skins overall integrity. With aging skin it's a slow and steady wins the race process. Harsh approaches give instant gratification but results that are short-lived.
Consider getting on board with bio available skin care products instead of products that simply hydrate then wash down the drain when you cleanse. I can't help. Also, I offer the #osmosisproskincare Collagen Medi Pro Facial Infusion with 2% Retinaldehyde which is the most bio available retinoid available without irritation or sun sensitizing the sun.
