Shedding the Light - an update review of sun protection

The bad news:
 
Sunlight depletes the skin of its nutrients, triggers changes in immune function, creates a cascade of free radicals and increases the inflammatory response.  Sun exposure accelerates ageing!  But you knew that already, didn't you?
 
The good news:
 

Exfoliation – Keeping it smooth.

The skin cells in the lower parts of the Epidermis are quite tightly bound to each other at junctions – a bit like linked arms. These junctions are for chemical exchanges and communication between the cells and they help the skin to form a strong, multi-layered protection from the outside world.

Winter/Summer Adjustments to your Skin Care Routine

A Good Clean

You can make an enormous difference to the condition of your skin with an effective cleansing routine. In just 10 days’ time you will notice the difference that your hard work can achieve. Even without changing any of the preparations that you currently use, you would still be able to produce this difference because the skin is being really cleaned and ‘worked’.

Regular Facials Create and Maintain a Healthy and Vital Skin

The skin is the largest organ of the body.  It is alive and has many functions.  One of the ones that we care about is the aesthetic look of it. 

As our skin ages, we often feel disappointment with the way it looks.  And yet there is no real need to do so.  Between the ages of 30 and 55 we can be very powerful in creating changes in the physiology of the skin.  After 55, there are still many changes that can be achieved at cellular level.

Why we should use Topically Applied Vitamins

It is natural for our bodies to use oxygen to extract energy from our food, to regulate important enzymes and produce vital hormones.  Our bodies also use oxygen to destroy bacteria and viruses and to eliminate waste from our cells.  However, what we must realise is that, in today’s world, far too much oxidation is going on within our bodies at cellular level and this leads to an overabundance of free radicals.
