The hottest anti-aging skin care treatment used by dermatologists - TCA skin peels.
Aging skin is something we all either have or will have. Its a
fact of life. The skin starts to lose its elasticity, sun damage
takes a toll, wrinkles and lines develop. Cuts and scratches
don't heal as fast and scar easily. The skin is dry and can even
become brittle. It literally thins out.
This is because we have not cared for it. I heard on the radio
today that 90% of Americans know more about their car engine and
take better care of their car then themself. We take our cars
for oil changes every 3-4,000 miles, rotate tires, buy better
gas and use gas additives, high tech waxes, etc... Then we eat
junk, fatty foods, don't drink enough water, don't eat regular
balanced meals, forget our vitamins, etc... It's no wonder that
Our skin ages amongst other things. We have the careless
attitude that if it isn't broke don't fix it. We procrastinate
with our bodies until they start to fail.
What we don't realize is that our skin is an organ just like our
heart, lungs, etc... the skin takes in oxygen, vitamin D,
protects against bacteria, accidents, etc... In the old days
people were tarred and feathered as punishment. This tarring
sealed the skin and if the affected individual didn't have the
tar removed in a few hours they would die - why? Because their
skin couldn't breathe and they overheated and died. So the skin
helps us regulate our body temperature like a radiator.
Well, just like a radiator, we must care for our skin to get
optimum protection and use from it. We must hydrate ourselves
properly. Thats not just having a little water here and there.
90% of all Americans are improperly hydrated. An easy way to
tell is to pinch and pull the skin between the thumb and
forefinger. Does it go right back and feel supple or does it
hold , feel dry, and very slowly go back (improper hydration).
It is now known that we must drink 8-12 glasses of water a day
and abstain from too much alcohol as it will further dry us out.
We must take multivitamins and eat proper, well balanced meals
for healthy skin. The skin, just like finger nails is a early
warning system. Problems with your skin and fingernails can
foreshadow or warn of future or iminent problems and diseases,
many of which can be avoided. There are whole books on this
inate ability to hint of heart ailments, blood ailmaents, etc...
We must eat right, hydrate right and take proper vitamins to
keep our skin from aging. It is highly recommended to
eat plenty
of antioxidants to ward off the aging process. Eat blue berries,
black berries, and have a glass of red wine daily. They are rich
with antioxidants. Also omega 3 fatty acids and fish oils have
been proven to retard skin aging (they have also been proven to
increase brain function over 50% in all areas - ever had deep
strange dreams after eating salmon? Salmon is very rich in omega
3's)
We can also help our skin along. Skin peels have been proven to
increase our skins ability to regenerate, create higher levels
of collagen, and increase hydration and pliability in our skin.
They can basically reverse a lot of the effects of the aging
process. Of these skin peels glycolic, lactic, salicylic and the
'fruit' peels are minor and will help, but need to be reapplied
more often and will not help with deep wrinkles, lines, age
spots, etc... The number one treatment plastic surgeons and
dermatologists use to reverse the aging process outside of a
face lift is the TCA peel. Tca peels are a medium strength peel
and have been proven to efectively treat more skin problems than
any other treatment. It is also the safest, easiest to apply,
and, by far, the most effective of all the skin peels. TCA peels
can turn back the clock 10 years or more. TCA peels can treat
and cure acne, wrinkles, lines, scars, etc... The results last
up to 1 year so you only need to have it done once or twice a
year. And the best part is they are now available for home use.
So, to keep your skin younger and healthier, drink plenty of
water, eat right, take omega 3 supplements (fish oil pills are
great for this as is salmon) and use proven science (TCA peels)
to better care for your skin. Copper peptide creams (around $60)
do show an increase in the skins ability to heal itself, but so
does Neosporin for $3. In double blind tests there was no
difference between the two in healingand scar repair. Remember
your skin does a lot and is very important so take good care of
it. To find TCA peels contact the author below or look it up on
the internet.
