As we age, the rate of loss of the old skin cells from the uppermost layer of the skin (stratum corneum) slows down. The skin gradually gets less translucent and does not retain water so well. All the skin functions take place more slowly in mature skin. Collagen and elastin fibres which form the framework of the skin begin to loosen.This is intrinsic aging. Extrinsic aging primarily occurs due to UV Rays. As most of us have been exposed to the sun to a greater or lesser degree over many decades, the 'damage' to the dermis can be seen even through the dry epidermis as we age. Other causes of extrinsic aging are Chemical pollutants, Poor nutrition, starvation diets, Physical & mental stress, Smoking,Alcohol ,Inadequate sleep & lack of exercise.

The rate at which our skin changes is dependent to some extent on what we inherited in the first place, how we treated it and how we looked after it. A varied number of vitamins and minerals are necessary for healthy skin.Vitamin A prevents skin from becoming dry and flaky,vitamin C is important for the production of collagen and vitamin E helps to rehydrate the skin, damp down inflammation and speed up the healing process. Minerals and anti oxidants combat free radicles and help retain the youthfulness of skin. Proteins and biotin are required for healthy hair and nails. It is interesting to note that  Water, Vegetables & fruits like watermelon, walnuts, Olive oil (antioxidant), fish like salmon & mackerel (omega 3 Fatty acid) are moisturizers for the skin. Colourful berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries  ,oranges, carrots (betacarotene) act as antioxidants and protect from the sun. Fish with omega 3 fatty acids & proteins like chicken & lean meat as well as flax seeds are known to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

It is also wise to avoid smoking as cigarette smoke and tar deprive the skin of the nutrients and oxygen it needs ultimately leaving it looking dull and lifeless. They lead to the formation of harmful free radicals and weaken the collagen and elastin fibres, with the result that the skin becomes prematurely wrinkled. There are a wide array of anti aging treatments done at Skinfiniti to keep you young and glowing forever !

Cosmetic counselling remains the most underutilized aspect of cosmetic dermatology. It is unfortunate that commercial strategies have flooded the market with cosmetic products of questionable standards. Ethical preservation of aesthetics is the ideology here at Skinfiniti. Our doctors advise you to discover your 'skin type' and respect its behaviour to dryness, humidity, sunlight, cosmetics, perfumes and many such factors that might inflict insults which may take a long time to revert or heal.

SKINFINITI.NET has been conceived by the author to educate people about the role of surgery in skin diseases, discuss the rationale behind various cosmetic dermatology procedures
