There are many reasons why one person might age faster than the next. Aside from genetic, hereditary predisposition (intrinsic), the way we live (extrinsic) has a lot to do with it. Excessive exposure to the sun's rays can make the skin leathery and hyperpigmented (liver spots, sun spots, age spots). Harsh chemicals might contribute to various degrees of keratinization (scaly growths) that might or might not become cancerous. Improper diets and lack of hydration can cause the skin to show early signs of aging. Smoking (active and passive) is not only harmful to one's overall health, it also affects the condition of the skin, making it dull, yellowish, and wrinkly looking. Lack of sleep and stress are additional extrinsic factors that have a bearing on the condition of the skin. They create a tired and shallow look. The use of excessive amounts of alcohol and/or drugs certainly accelerates the aging process and results in a puffy or hollow look. With age, as hormones change, collagen and elastin, elements that hold skin cells together and make it look tight, no longer regenerate as fast as earlier; moisture is drained more than in young skin; and reproduction of new skin cells slows down. As a result, dead skin cells stay on the surface longer and pile up on each other making the face look dull and flat — hence the need for specific facial skin rejuvenation products to address this. Scientific advances have made possible the development of facial skin rejuvenation products containing ingredients that regenerate the skin and even reverse the process of aging. Some of these border on magic. On the flip side, we have learned that some facial skin rejuvenation ingredients are harmful to the skin and should not be part of any person's skin care regimen. Prime examples are Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate, which can be extremely irritating; petroleum products, potentially carcenogenic; and certain alcohols, such as isopropyl, ethyl, or ethanol, known to have excessive drying effects on the skin. Most importantly, all external (extrinsic) factors that contribute to premature aging, such as smoking, stress, improper diet, and above all, exposure to UVA, UVB, and most recently, UVC rays, must be changed before a reversal can be achieved. A healthy life style supports healthy skin! Secondly, to increase collagen and elastin, the skin needs to be nourished with cell-reproducing skin care ingredients, such as antioxidants like Vitamins A, C, D, and E,Idebenone or grapeseed oil, Coffee cherry, linolenic acid, to name but a few of the most prominent ones. Aging skin needs to be moisturized regularly. One such example of an effective facial skin rejuvenation product is Jojoba oil — which is an excellent moisturizing agent and also functions as a carrier oil. Shea butter, extracted from the African shea tree, and other plant extracts perform similarly beneficial moisturizing functions. Thirdly, old, dead cells have to be removed or exfoliated so that new ones can develop and come to the surface. AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids), such as glycolic, lactic, or malic acids, are exfoliating agents that are useful for this purpose, as are BHA's (beta hydroxy acids), such as salicylic acid, or Retinol (a vitamin A derivative). Fourthly, anti-wrinkle creams or lotions containing the latest peptides and other anti-aging ingredients can be used to fight fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet.You can find all the most beneficial ingredients in PRIORI cosmeceutical skin care.

Derma roller treatment can provide you many benefits in rejuvenating your skin. It strategically damages your skin stimulating collagen and elastin production. The tool pierces your skin with tiny micro-needles which will give you a tingling sensation; it would reach deep enough to activate nerve endings sending signals to produce collagen. Since it makes thousands of pierced columns in your skin you will develop a new layer of collagen making your skin thick. The new elastin produced after the treatment will help you to have a tight skin, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. It will also give you a supple skin. Though this instrument was first used to eliminate acne scars it also treats stretch marks, cellulite, stimulates hair growth and is used for hyper pigmentation treatments. What's more comforting is that you can use it to penetrate skin care products for optimal results. Especially moisturising creams which will make your skin look more hydrated.
