Anatomy of wrinkles: everything you need to know about skin aging
March 13, 2011
Today, more than ever women's attitudes to aging is changing before our eyes: modern women know that the aging process
Aging Skin: The three most common problems and their solutions
with the help of properly selected cosmetics and skin care products, you can significantly slow, long time to keep a young and healthy skin. However, the youth of the skin - this is not only a beautiful and healthy appearance: the appearance of the first signs of aging depends on the status of all layers of the skin.
Four areas of aging
With age, changes occur simultaneously on the four main layers of the skin - the so-called "areas of aging."
The epidermis
The top layer of skin, the epidermis with age becomes dry and dull. By the age of 30 years, the skin becomes drier because the sebaceous glands produce less secretion - a natural "lubrication" of the epidermis. During menopause the sebaceous glands slows down even more and dryness, as well as an increased sensitivity of the skin, has become one of the main problems faced by the majority of women in menopause.
The epidermis contains pigment-producing cells - melanocytes, responsible for skin color. Over the years, due to the cumulative effect of the sun melanocytes become more active, and they produced an excess of melanin leads to the formation of age spots. A build-up from the skin cells of the epidermis horny special - corneocytes - leads to the fact that the skin becomes dull, painful and lifeless.
Solution:
- Bleaching of the skin as needed (modern anti-aging cosmetics can get rid of age spots and freckles).
- Cosmetics with potent ingrendientami (retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids and beta).
- Regular exfoliation (chemical peels and microdermabrasion creams for the skin).
- Moisturize. The closer to the age of the woman menopause, the lower protective secretion produce sebaceous gland, resulting in skin barrier disappears and moisture evaporates more easily from the skin.
- Sunscreen lotion or cream - daily protection of the skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, which accelerates the aging process.
The dermis
The dermis is located capillaries that provide blood flow to the skin. Here are nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles - as well as the collagen and elastin fibers, which provide skin elasticity and strength.
Like the epidermis, dermis with age undergoes certain changes: collagen and elastin fibers begin to break down, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity - as a result the skin becomes loose, starts to sag. Produces collagen and elastin connective tissue cells - fibroblasts - become less active, and the skin is not able to maintain or restore the natural elasticity of the damaged areas.
The deleterious effect on the dermis layer and has an ultraviolet damaging cellular DNA - this leads to a number of problems with skin
The most common skin problems and their solutions
Including the appearance of facial skin vascular "stars", the skin becomes thinner, longer suffers from bruises.
Solution:
- Antioxidants neutralize free radical damage to the skin, stimulating the activity of fibroblasts and allows to maintain the structure of the dermis.
- Non-ablative laser rejuvenation of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen.
- Anti-aging cosmetics with amino acids and peptides

, Restores the protective barrier of the skin and stimulates collagen production.

Subcutaneous fat layer
Beneath the dermis is a layer of subcutaneous fat, which with age becomes much thinner. As a result, thinning of the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin itself becomes thinner, leading to increased fragility, the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, vascular "stars." Fat accumulates along the jaw, leading to the appearance of sagging chin or cheeks, "double" chin.
The muscle layer
Under a layer of subcutaneous fat is muscle layer. Deep wrinkles on the face - the result of excessive muscle work, for example, because of the constant smiling, or, conversely, frown. Constant tension of the facial muscles leads to the formation in time of deep facial wrinkles - especially if the skin is suffering from the negative impact of the additional ultraviolet radiation.
