Healthy skin is actually a reflection of the condition of the body healthy. Instead, dull skin less luminous body could be an indication not in a fit condition.
Such as the skin can mengusung many other important functions outside the senses as taste and cover the body from the threat of the natural environment around. He helped set the temperature of the body, also protects from viruses and bacteria, and no less important function of the expenditure sekresi and liquids.
On sekresi functions, such as removing the skin of oil called sebum to maintain kelembapan skin and refinement. While the form of liquids, especially the heat of the water to set the temperature of the body to remain in the normal limit.
Kompleksitasnya often less than we realize. Did you know 1 cm2 skin contains an average of 1 m vein, 100 sweat gland, 3000 at the end of the sensor cell nerve fiber, 4 m nervous, high-strung 25 instruments, 200 the end of the taste nerve pain, 2 instrument sense cold, hot taste 12, 10 hair, and 15 oil gland?
Therefore, treat your skin is important, and if necessary will memanjakannya with special care.
Ultraviolet source destroyer
As a body wrap, the skin is shielded main threat conditions outside the body; ultraviolet sun rays one. Ultraviolet rays (UV) dituding this is so often the main factor penuaan early alias premature aging. Rays, especially UV B penetrasinya a strong power, placed in order of number one in the list of causes. No wonder the skin in early ripen many found on the body that is open, such as the face, arms, and legs.
Penuaan early form can be a color that more black, berkeriput, dull, even the existence of The speck blackish-brown The speck called melasma; sometimes called chloasma. If not treated immediately, The speck of black-The speck that generally occurs in women could be more widespread.
"The blazing sun contains ultraviolet is indeed bad for the skin. For many years before due to exposure to the rays with the naked eye, the skin is actually damaged. Dibiopsi When to see kerusakannya, people will immediately conduct a variety of ways to avoid sengatan sun," said David Biro, skin experts from New York.
David Bureau penuaan right time for the early going, the skin will be changed so that the person who was an 30-visible 20 years older. Even stimulus ultraviolet rays that can continue to make the skin is exposed to damaged or even skin cancer.
Damage to the skin which is often experienced by those aged above 30 years - though can also occur at a younger - also can be caused by external factors such as levels of pollution around the nature, which can be different with the carbon smoke, dust and dirt piles on the other skin.
Apart from the outside, the condition of the body's internal succession affect skin health, such as hormonal factors, the descendants of factors, stress, and free radicals.
"Each time you breathe in oxygen breathing with the inevitable result of oxidation remnant called oxidation oksidan. Oksidan this is a form of free radicals, because it no longer have a place to stick in the body, and to roam everywhere, into other cells . As a result, the cells are damaged by a fast, "said Edwin Juanda, dermatologist that many patients were to beautify themselves.
Free radicals that are reactive can cause chemical changes and damage to various components of living cells, such as protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and acid nukleat.
Replace the skin every 28 days
In general, the outermost layer of skin is the epidermis (stratum corneum), which is thin as onion skin. Underneath is a different organ that has been mentioned earlier. The network is again in the thick of fat. The next layer of muscle (meat) and bone, which is not part of the skin.
Available natural process, practically every 28 days once the skin cells will beregenerasi or rejuvenate themselves. Skin cells that form will be rounded up to the surface of the skin and change the form of a gepeng, before eventually die and become part of the layer of epidermis.
On ripen the skin condition, which occurs otherwise. "Safeguard the outside skin of the skin cells of living, as well as the various layers and duct gland, low. The cuticle layer is thick, because the cells in the skin of dead or dakinya continue to pile up," said Edwin Juanda.
Edwin also align the view that pengelupasan dead layer of skin does not occur automatically, and if the scale will take time. That also is why, pengelupasan skin needs to be done specifically, clean skin care because day-to-day course will not be able to remove dead skin.
However, according to Edwin, does not mean no hope for people with early penuaan get back healthy skin. There are several ways you can do. For example, The speck that is very small (freckles) can be removed with mengupasnya use a very fine instrument. "The speck For the wide use more appropriate cream bleach be smeared in the night," he said. He reminded, the use of cream bleach must be done carefully and under the supervision of doctors skin. The use of excessive, especially in a long time, thus making the skin look black.
But when I have not been able to overcome the problem, "How do not want to use laser crusher pigment lasers such as Ruby. But this is only for cases of severe, because the results vary for each individual. Doctors who do so will do more tests to find the first dose appropriate, "said the doctor is a graduate FKUI.
The speck compared with the black, contraction in the face of more difficult eliminated altogether. Although several ways you can minimize it with real results. One of them with chemical Peeling. In this case be oiled leather face special fluid that makes skin epidermis. After the round - with a long enough time to eat - a contraction-wrinkling lost.
Other ways of operating with a face lift, this is indeed a need to cost a large and needs to be done by expert doctors. Another possibility is to use the vitamin A acid cream is introduced by Prof. Kligman from the U.S.. Spread sour cream with vitamin A, such as retin-A or Vitacid, or Melavita on the face every night, a few months in the face skin will become faster and wrinkles are reduced.
However, vitamin A acid cream have side effects, so make your skin a bit red and sore in the first few days use. In addition, this cream is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
"Thus, all actions of the skin so that young people do more, so that the layer underneath to grow faster. All I have is quite safe as long as done with extreme care," said Edwin while reminding the need to consult a doctor with the skin.
Pengelupasan for treatment
Senada with dr. Edwin, kimiawan Mark Potter had served meramu medicines for troops Operation Thunderstorm wilderness that should be the dry climate in the Middle East, said the need to do pengelupasan skin to unload piles of dead skin is not helpful. "But it must be careful. If not, your skin will lose even kelembapan, even more damaged," he said.
According to Potter also, in addition to re-create a luminous skin, "Pengelupasan functions that have more than just beautify themselves, for example, the replacement skin cells will be faster, but also increase blood flow in an important means of providing food for the skin surface."
The simplest way suggest that he is using soap to scrub the skin so that all fat and dead skin piles missing. All types of bath soap can be used, such as soap, but JF Sulfur containing sulfur more effectively dead skin epidermis, as well as prevent the formation of whelk. However, for the reaction of sulfur, a soft-soap the baby will be more appropriate, because they do not make a skin allergy.
However, according to the Bureau of David, a bar of soap for the less well with dry, because it can cause irritation. Therefore need to look for a safe and soap containing oxygen-active substances that are useful. While this can be easily obtained with soap that contains the active substances such as vitamin E complex that is useful to combat the signs penuaan, pelembap oil, or other substances, such as soap or Priti new Lux. Soap afford this type of work a double, in addition to really clean, and also maintain kelenturan skin health.
To face the skin Texturized more subtle, soft, and thin, more appropriate to use special soap, or face, such as facial soap Kao Biore, Oil of Ulan, or other products.
However, to pengelupasan in the day-to-day care, more Potter recommends not to use cleaning soap. There are two ways in which both do so. First, using a mask with the chemical contents enzimnya able to bind skin cells die, the network, as well as lifting. "The second slightly less practical, but significant action in pengelupasan, rub the skin with a soft mechanical."
Although not as much as soap, cleaning products pengelupas epidermis is quite easy to obtain in the market. Mangir from the traditional, practical Mangir shake the output Mustika Ratu, until Kao's body scrubs can be used for this purpose. AHA, substance antipenuaan
Like with other products that are in now is called the AHA (alpha hidrocxy acid) or fruit acid groups. AHA considered able to scrub the only weakness release outermost layer, but can not improve relations in the antarsel. AHA, often referred to as miraculous substances antipenuaan and can burn the skin rubbed off without, will reduce wrinkles and make skin more fresh. For substances that also melembapkan layer beneath the skin and stimulates terbentuknya new cells.
"But AHA is not suitable for all ages. Those who are aged 30 - 40 years can still use them. But the age above 40 would be better if using retinoic acid or acid retinoat," said Edwin Juanda.
Because, he said, when the AHA can only go up to the antarsel layer, the acid retinoat containing vitamin A that is required is able to penetrate skin cells into cells. "Skin that is dull and ugly will be changed to be more lembap, bold, red, and fresh again."
Not strange when many products now pelembap skin get cargo AHA as Plenitude Excel-A3 or Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. When the AHA pelembap able to seep in, then without pelembap AHA will only melembapkan the epidermis.
Kelembapan effort to maintain the skin needs to be done carefully. "They can be difficult to enter into a liquid layer of skin that is very complex berstruktur. Imagine, fluid in the body we can only go out through the channel sweat," said Edwin.
Therefore, night cream seen as an effort to maintain kelembapan and how best to restore the skin. At bedtime, the system of metabolism will be exactly the rest to improve cell-selnya. "So that night cream will go easily and work with the maximum time in a long time. Other well as if the day, not to mention the influence of blow that makes the sun be oiled leather acid or AHA retinoat irritation so," said Edwin while explaining that the doctor will usually provide a strong medicine for the treatment in the evening. But for those who are not undergoing treatment, Edwin
opinion to justify leaving the skin smooth without a night cream to be able to breathe. "Krim night can only be pelembap that can be used at any time if someone feels the skin is too dry. This can not be beaten was the same for all the average person. For the oily skin, is not recommended impose night cream, can pimply later."
However pelembap still necessary even if the skin is in a healthy and fresh. According to Mark Potter, will fill in addition to the skin with nutrition, especially oil and vitamins, pelembap will also be encouraged to skin regeneration. Pelembap with emoliennya will be able to overcome a variety of weather conditions that damage the skin. "Without net emolien, pelembap not have meaning. The term, that have saved money in the cupboard, do not forget to lock it."
Solar curtain shield skin
Pelembap addition, other products needed to prevent the curtain is penuaan early solar or sunscreen. Even though the actual body has been equipped with defense systems such as the horn layer, melanin, and antioxidants, but the high level of radiation, this protection mechanism can dilampaui, so that should be added from outside of the protector. In addition to clothing, artificial defense system from the outside is the most effective sun screen.
Because it is in the tropics with the intensity of the sun, sun block can be used every day. Creams that contain both SPF (sun protective factor) high, easy, and does not cause allergies. Lately many marketed products containing substances such as product output antiultraviolet L'Oreal, pelembut sport's Tanjung Sari Ayu, or Nivea Visage.
When the body lotion containing SPF 15 means that the cream will continue to sunlight fifth belas only. Instead cream with SPF 60 will only continue seperenam tens sun to our skin. So, the value of SPF, the more effectively function as the sun screen.
"This means people who use SPF 30 when sunbathing for 60 minutes, synonymous with the sun without suncreen for 2 minutes. If smear SPF 15, with the sun for 4 minutes," said Edwin. Therefore, he suggests, they are only occasionally under the blazing sun can use a pro-SPF 15 - 30. Meanwhile, the more often baked blazing sun better when using the pro-SPF 60 or more.
Sun block can be smeared all over the body that is open, especially the face, but not exposed to the eyes. This cream can be used each morning as the base powder.
Choosing skin care products that need to be careful, lest the result is worse than the previous.
No less a person allergic to certain products. Harmless, if the prior use, the new product is tested a bit at the back skin. When the allergic reaction appears, immediately stop and try not to use cosmetics or brand of the same, because the reaction that would normally occur more powerful. "But the main, avoid cosmetics that contain mercury or mercury, which is the cumulative effect on the kidneys," said Edwin without meaning menakut-nakuti.
Waspadai also fragrant products, perfume in cosmetics because so often the main cause of irritation. Kimianya divine order, a fragrance can be made from 300 kinds of materials. "If you have to choose between products made from 10 or 200 types of chemicals, then choose a slightly kimianya the womb," said Mark Potter.
Another thing to note is preservative substance - both cause skin irritation. Note the type of product you are never easy to buy a moldy or damaged in a few months, because it indicates a low degree pengawetnya.
Handling penuaan early results do not provide a maximum only when external factors are overcome. Therefore Edwin often encourage patients to maintain health care with more nutritious foods. With adequate nutrition, vitamins that the body will be enough, so that the process penuaan slowed.
"Fruits and vegetables are the types of food every day is good for the skin because it contains antioxidants substances. Avoid excessive eating meat because it will cause too much oxidation, the remaining pembakarannya any more."
When the food consumed felt still contains less oxygen antioxidants (eg vitamins A, C, E, and melatonin), can only take supplements antioxidants. "Drugs are not free to do anything, takarannya origin in accordance with the recommended dose," said Edwin while the secret to keeping the skin with fresh drinking water at least 2 white l per day.
