We always talk about the skin as if itโs only a layer but itโs made up of three; the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. See our next post on the structure of the skin.โ

It constantly sheds dead cells, about 30,000 to 40,000 cells every minute! Thatโs nearly 9 lbs. โ4 kg per year! Where does it go? Look around, more than half of the dust in your home is actually dead skin.โ

Your skin spans 22 sq. feet โ2 sq. m, which makes it significantly larger than your second largest organ, the liver. Skin accounts for about 15% of your body weight.โ

A lot of people attribute how quickly their skin ages to their genetics, but it turns out that external factors play a huge role in skin aging. Sun exposure can account for almost 90 percent of premature aging and other factors such as pollution and smoking can factor into how quickly your skin ages.โ

If you associate getting older with being in your 40s or 50s weโve got bad news for you. Once you hit 25 your collagen levels can start to slowly deplete which might result in the appearance of sagging skin and the onset of fine lines. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C can help maintain young, healthy-looking skin.โ
Most of us want to make the most of our natural assets. We actively strive to look good: welcoming whatever can assist us in this process. Working with a Facial Therapy professional can be one of the most beneficial ways to support a youthful and healthy outer appearance.
