Holistic Solutions for Aging Skin

 

Symptoms

Skin undergoes normal changes with age. The most noticeable changes are dryness, wrinkles, changes in color and texture, and an increased number of benign (non-cancerous) and pre-cancerous growths.  Environmental damage and sun exposure cause the skin to age at a much more rapid rate than ever before. The fairer the skin, the more visible the effects of photo aging.  

The symptoms of aging skin include dryness, itchiness, thinning or thickening of the skin, wrinkles and fine lines, areas of hyper pigmentation (called age or liver spots), and a mottled appearance.

The skin may take also take more time to heal when injured.  Blood vessels are often visible and can become dilated with age.  These blood vessels may be visible as red dome-like formations on the skin (cherry angiomas), or as broken capillaries on the face (telangietasias).  

Many people develop senile or actinic purpura, which are purplish spots or patches on the skin created by small hemorrhages in the skin.

Older skin has less protection against sun damage because protective cells called melanocytes decrease with age.  Aging skin is also more likely to develop a variety of benign and pre-cancerous growths, such as seborrhea and actinic keratoses.

Seborrheic keratoses often have a rough, brown appearance, and often look like warts. They are benign.  Actinic keratoses are small, scaly growths on areas of the skin that have received sun exposure.  They are an early sign of skin cancer.

 

 

 

What Causes the Skin to Age?

As we age, the skin becomes thinner.  This is because the underlying fat, so abundant at infancy, is slowly lost.  The skin’s connective tissue undergoes changes, causing the skin to lose firmness and elasticity.  The sweat- and oil-secreting glands in the skin also decrease, which makes it harder for the skin to hold moisture.  The blood vessels naturally become more fragile, so they are more likely to rupture and leak into the skin.

Holistic Healing Strategies

  1. Deep, daily skin cleansing without stripping the skins protective acid mantle and pH are the beginning of real changes…
  2. Antioxidants applied topically and taken as supplements internally are vital for effective treatment of UV damage
  3. Exfoliate regularly to remove layers of discolored, dead skin cells
  4. Wear sun protection daily – regardless of the season.
  5. Replace moisture and repair aging skin with peptide based serums
  6. Use eye cream every day

Our Solution

How it Works:

The focus of this system is RESULTS.  The Sunshine Botanicals anti-aging system is formulated with the most effective, cutting edge botanical ingredients known for their ability to repair, balance and protect the skin from the effects of environmental aging.  

Cleansing and skin detoxification have been taken to the “next level” for intensive purification and topical antioxidant therapy has been “powered up” for maximum repair and protection.  It has been said that 90% of the visible aging on your skin is due totally to UV rays. 

If this is true, think of the control we have as to how much the skin actually ages!  This system is infused with therapeutic levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, grape seed and birch bark extract for the most effective antioxidant repair you can get.  In addition, birch bark extract has been shown in university and medical research studies to be a powerful weapon against skin cancer, melanoma, pre-cancerous lesions and sun damaged skin conditions.

 

How does it feel on your skin?  Clean, fresh and light…no ingredients that can clog pores – ever.  This skin care system allows your skin to BREATHE...  The balancing aspect of this system makes it perfect for combination skin types, as well.  

 

 

The unique combination of ingredients we use and the way they are blended, penetrate well to deliver these vital nutrients into the deeper layers of skin to reverse the effects of aging and environmental damage.

If You Have Very Dry Skin:   

For intensive moisture and nourishment, we recommend you choose the Sol Essence Infusion to "boost" the moisture level of the ProDerma Firming Antioxidant Cream.

Simply add 2-4 drops of this ultra rich infusion to your ProDerma Firming Antioxidant Cream, blend them together in the palm of your hand, then blend into the skin.  This Infusion is especially recommended if dry skin is also scaly.
