Aging Skin Care
February 23rd, 2008
As the skin ages, the collagen & elastin fibers, which give it its elasticity and tone, become fused into an inflexible mix called elastone. The skin becomes thinner too as the subcutaneous layer of fat is reduced.
With the approach of menopause, the sebaceous glands begin to shrink and produce less oil, resulting in dry skin that is prone to flaking. Despite popular belief, dry skin does not cause wrinkles, though it can make them appear worse.
Here is a great Aging Skin Care regimen. Twice a day you should cleanse & tone. Once a week, after cleansing, apply a Glow or Polish to exfoliate the face (& body if you wish, also). Follow exfoliation by applying a facial Mask treatment. Check out more Aging Skin Care tips at Fitness Beauty Spa.
