| The Aging Process |
-
Changes in the skin inevitably happen
as years pass.
-
It is a natural order of life that matter
changes as it ages.
-
Skin is not immune to this law.
-
Collagen and Elastin production slows
down a dramatic 65%between 20&80
-
The thickness of the skin decreases
a staggering 6% every 10 years.
-
90% of the visible signs of aging are
due to sun exposure, actinic aging
|
| Intrinsic Aging |
-
Much of intrinsic aging factors are
hereditary.
-
Family background and history play a
major role.
-
In general the darker the skin, the
less visible aging will take place.
-
Thicker skin does not show aging as
fast as thinner, fragile skin types.
|
| Actinic Aging |
-
Directly related to exposure to the
sun.
-
Including:
-
Wrinkling
-
Sagging
-
Discoloration
-
Unsightly pigmented spots
-
Thin skin, spider veins, and lack of
color
-
90% of all visible aging is due to sun
exposure and is avoidable!
|
| Wrinkles |
-
Twenties: First wrinkles appear around
eyes and lips
-
Thirties: Skin becomes less resilient
as elastin declines allowing gravity to begin to have its way.
-
Forties: as elasticity begins to diminish,
skin loses its memory and becomes less able to snap back. Repetitive movements
such as frowns, squinting, or cigarette smoking form the first permanent
wrinkles.
-
Fifties: Normal aging changes become
more apparent, gravity is certainly a factor. Gravity combined with the
decrease in collagen and elastin causes skin and muscle to sag. Gravity
also causes the tip of the nose to droop and the ears to elongate
-
Another important factor in intrinsic
aging is the loss of bone mass. As bones shrink away from the skin,
the skin retains its size and shape, this leaves the skin slightly bigger
than the underlying bones resulting in loose folds of skin and thick wrinkles.
|
| Nutrition and Exercise |
-
Good health habits and balanced nutrition
help the body to nourish the skin from the inside out.
-
Vitamin C, has been shown to support
the production of collagen, the strength of the skin.
-
Calcium supplementation supports bone
mass.
-
Anti-oxidants combat free radicals.
-
Don’t forget WATER! Hydration from the
inside is critical for all cells.

| The Basics |
-
Cleanse
-
The cleanser is different from a bar
of soap in that soap by definition is alkaline and you skin is naturally
slightly acidic. Soap cleans your skin, but it also strips it of
its protective acid mantle- which guards against bacteria- and the natural
oils which hold in moisture. Your skin comes out dry, dehydrated,
and at risk to infection. Arbonne Cleansers on the other hand are:
-
botanically based, pH correct
-
they cleanse without stripping or drying
-
products for all skin types
-
Tone
-
Freshener and Toner re-hydrates and
rebalances the pH, so that any following product will penetrate as it should.
Arbonne toning products are:
-
botanically based, pH correct
-
remove final traces of cleansers and
debris
-
minimize pores
-
Moisturizers
-
known as day/night creams or protection
creams, seal and protect the skin. They hydrate and may also
treat specific problems such as oily or dry skin, or acne. Your skin
is a mirror of yourself, the more water you drink, the less your skin is
at risk for dehydration, but a moisturizer will protect against skin dehydration
and over-evaporation.
-
botanically based, pH correct
-
enhanced with antioxidant vitamins to
protect from free radical exposure
-
loaded with emollients and hydrating
agents to protect against transepidermal water loss
|
| Beyond the Basics |
-
Masques
-
Intensive treatments which you apply
for a certain amount of time and then remove. They can be designed
to address dehydration, dryness, redness or oiliness.
-
Exfoliants
-
Exfoiliants are used to remove the outer
most layer of dead skin cells, revealing the softer, younger layers underneath.
Exfoliants can be mechanical, scrubs, Chemical, AHA, BHA
