Skin Regeneration Treatment For Wrinkles and Fine Lines

In our natural daily life cells are constantly being born and falling off from the epidermal layers, a young person renews its surface layers every 2 to 3 weeks. However as time goes on and the abuse that our skin receives daily the cell turnover slows down.

Due to sun exposure, pollution, stress, lack of anti oxidants, dehydration and other reasons our skin slows skin cell regeneration. The skins moisture slows down and cause an uneven skin texture that oder people have.

Thats when we being to experience the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, loss of elasticity, loss of skin hydration and sagging skin.

Collagen production slows down, so the skin becomes thinner then causing the skin to lose flexibility. The skin cells become malformed the amount of pigment in each cells is higher and produce age spots, uneven skin tone, etc.

But there are anti aging creams in the market that facilitate skin regeneration with natural ingredients. As we have seen the breakdown of collagen and elastin, reduction of moisture and lack of anti oxidants causes the skin to sag and wrinkle so a good cream have to improve those areas.

There are natural ingredients that can promote the regrowth of collagen in the body as well as create new cells that will gradually reduce wrinkles and make your skin more elastic. Coenzyme Q10 for example is a powerful anti oxidant and moisturizer that can do wonders for your skin appearance.

The key is that you should use only anti wrinkle cream made of natural ingredients like vitamins, plant extracts, water, flowers, etc. and avoid any chemical substances like petrolatum, parabens, alcohols, etc.

Your skin cream should be easily absorbed by your skin and feel like a part of your body. Thus as collagen and elastin increase your skin will become firm, resilience and softer.

  • Pay attention while you are eating. Be aware of your environment, eat slowly, enjoy each bite – savor the smells and textures of your food. If your mind wanders, just gently remind yourself to return to focusing on your food and how it tastes and feels in your mouth.
  • Avoid distractions while eating. Try not to eat while working, watching TV, reading, using a computer, or driving.
  • Try mixing things up to force yourself to focus on the experience of eating – try using chopsticks rather than a fork, or use your utensils with your non-dominant hand.
  • Chew your food thoroughly. Try chewing each bite 30 times before swallowing.
  • Stop eating before you are full. Avoid the temptation to “clean your plate”. Yes, there are children starving in Africa, but you packing on the pounds won’t help them.
  • Serve yourself a smaller portion and use small plates, bowls and cups. This will make your portions appear larger. If possible leave the table as soon as you are done. The longer you sit at the table, the more you will eat. If you are hungry later you can have a small healthy snack.
  • Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time and don’t eat out of large bags or boxes. You will be more inclined to eat in moderation if you have thought out healthy meals and snacks in advance. You can buy or create your own small portion snacks in plastic bags or containers. Remember to only eat when you are truly hungry.
