Cellular Turnover occurs naturally. It is the process of shedding dead skin cells that are then replaced with fresh, new, younger and healthier cells. Skin cells start out plump and full of moisture in the bottom layer of the epidermis (one of the outer layers of the skin). As the cells mature they rise through the compact layers of the epidermis, becoming flatter and drier until they reach the surface of the skin. By this point the cells are nothing more than dry flakes of keratin protein waiting to shed. How quickly or slowly this process occurs has to do with several factors including age, environment, UV exposure, hormones, the foods that we eat, and whether or not you are a smoker.
Age is the biggest factor. The longer the cell turnover cycle takes, the more the dead cells are left to build up on the surface of the skin. The proliferation of cellular debris makes skin look heavy, dry and dull. The dead cells clog and stretch pores making them appear larger and more pronounced. They trap oil and bacteria in the pores, which can lead to breakouts. That is why it is not uncommon to see acne well past your teen years.
Lines and wrinkles appear deeper as the dead skin cells build up around them. Patches of excess pigment (age spots or hyperpigmentation ) appear darker.
With age, the cells simply aren’t Regenerating as quickly as they did in our youth. That means fewer new cells are pushing toward the surface. This is where RETINOL comes in. VITAMIN A works to speed the process of cell turnover, and it also acts as a cell regulator, signaling the production of COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN. RETINOL puts the whole process on Fast Forward.
Increasing cell turnover is the way to smoother texture and more even tone. It is the prerequisite to Radiance..
Exfoliation is the key to boosting cell turnover either by using scrubs or chemicals acids. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and encourages a generation of new cells. Another way to think of it is that Exfoliation can increase the natural process of Cellular Turnover.
Ingredients such as Retinol, Alpha Hydroxy (AHA), and Salicylic Acid (BHA) all help the Cellular Turnover process.
