Facial rejuvenation without surgery: the gene for youth
I think all we care about keeping women beautiful and therefore one of our main concerns is to begin to experience some signs of age. What? The lack of luminosity of the skin, the appearance of the first lines of expression (in the contour of the eyes or in the forehead) or spots caused by the sun ...
As you may have noticed, our skin is the foremost reflecting what happens within us (good or bad), so we should pay close attention. Have you considered whether the hydrate enough?
Eight glasses of water daily, include vegetables and fruits in your diet, use a good sunscreen whenever you are exposed to the sun, are the basic tips (besides avoiding stress!). However, science also has been on our side to help take care of.
We had the opportunity to hear Dr. Uma Santhama, Senior Manager in Cell Biology and In Vitro Toxicology Research Center of Avon, who shared with us a new discovery: the Youth Gene.
The gene of youth, is there?
That's right! But do not worry, because we all have it. The story of their discovery is quite interesting:
"A leading university in Italy studied a group of people living in an area of southern Italy called Calabria. They live longer and healthier than the average human. Even many who had lived over a hundred years and tried to understand what was so special. Finally, this study revealed that these people have a higher activity of a particular gene that all humans possess. "
Who had not heard of the fountain of youth? Have not you figured immersing in it only for a few minutes to get to see a few years younger? Well, in the end, it seems all carry the power in our own body ...
How does the gene of youth on our skin?
The first thing you have to know is that our skin has three basic levels:
Epidermis. It is the outermost layer and you should protect against environmental impacts. According to the expert mind "in its deepest level, cells divide and renew themselves. This process takes aproxidamente 28 days, but over time may be slower. "
Dermis. It is the middle layer and it largely depends on the skin to keep it fresh. It consists of proteins like collagen and elastin (insurance've seen many skin creams based on them), which are what allow to stand firm. When these proteins are damaged or lost. occurs sagging or wrinkles appear.
Hypodermis. Here is the adipose tissue (the greasers) and is where isolates heat and energy reserves.
As you may have noticed. are proteins that steal the show in keeping our skin young. because they are the cells responsible for efficiently act.
"The Youth Gene helps skin cells to act younger, but this activity decreases as we age. An increase in the activity of Gen Youth stimulates proteins that can help you have a more youthful appearance of the skin. "
Can you believe that a small gene is responsible for some people being a lot younger than others, despite being the same age? Incredible!
In summary the Youth Gene:
Produces a protein critical for skin cells.
Increases the activity of the process of cellular energy production.
Increases longevity of the cells.
The battle against age is not lost!
We must accept that the normal aging process. However, many times without realizing what we advance. Have you heard of free radicals?
Although certain normal processes of our body, such as breathing or digestion of food, so produced, when generating too much may be of little benefit and yes, especially going to go against our skin.
Exposure to environmental pollution, snuff, chemicals in foods, sunlight, some medications and even stress, are responsible for generating free radicals. And these, in turn, attack the cells by preventing them from reproducing. No cell turnover, skin, as you can imagine, will look wilted and the hated form wrinkles.
So you have a good reason to quit smoking and learn to relax despite the daily concerns. But besides that try to avoid things that produce free radicals, scientists look for ways to help delay the signs of aging by other means.
Perhaps the market find pills or creams based on collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, among others. Some more directly, others less so, what they want is that your skin cells to regenerate and behave as they do at fifteen or twenty years. So you need to remember to use a day cream and a night from 25.
For example, with the discovery of the gene, which scientists have developed Avon is a serum and a moisturizer, which have called Anew Genics, based on technology Youthgen (Gen Youth) and assure us that with continued use the skin will look 10 years younger.
I, for one, am willing to try a special product and try to reduce the amount of free radicals that can age my skin and attract everyday without even imagine the damage we do. How about you?
