Skin Health and Care - So much more than beauty!

Our skin is the largest organ of the human body, weighing approximately 10 pounds and covering an area of about 16 square feet. We generally take skin for granted and tend not to take very good care of it. Our skin is responsible for protecting our internal organs from the toxic external world. Our skin protects us from heat, cold, and physical injuries. It also provides us with sensory information about the nature of the external world and is our first defense against invasion by bacteria, viruses, and other toxic elements. The skin is also an excretory organ, removing toxins from the body via perspiration.

But, alas, skin changes as we age, from the soft, elastic, flawless hide of a newborn to the tissue-thin, spotted, wrinkled, dry wrap we own in our 90s. There are many causes for the accumulated cellular damage in the skin that we call aging. Among these are the oxidative processes and related free radical damage that result from UV sunlight, smog, toxins, cigarette smoke, X-rays, drugs, and other stressors. Young skin is also exposed to these potentially damaging changes, but when we are young, there is sufficient cellular energy (ATP) for DNA repair and cell renewal. Enzymes that provide antioxidant activity such as SOD and catalase are readily available. As we age, there is increased wear and tear, while at the same time the energy for cell repair and renewal is diminished and the antioxidant enzymes are less available.

Health-conscious Americans are concerned about the damage that sunlight inflicts on the skin. Protecting against the effects of ultraviolet radiation is a multi-million dollar industry. Creams, lotions, cosmetic products, and protectants are to be found everywhere, resulting in confusion for the consumer regarding what products are really helpful. Cosmetic companies may seize upon an idea, put that ingredient into a cream or lotion without much research, and then advertise it to an unsuspecting public.

One area of understanding unfolding in the last few years of research is that adequate exposure to the sun's rays is critical for long-term health. The sun may damage the skin, but it also provides us with large doses of vitamin D3, and research is now confirming that our immune system is empowered by vitamin D3 and drastically crippled by a deficiency of it. Skin coloration is an adaptation to historical solar exposure. The closer to the equator the evolutionary home of a people, the darker the skin. If you are a fair-skinned person, you need to get about five to 10 minutes of sunlight a day on your arms and face, depending on where you live in relation to the equator. If you live in a northern climate, you need to increase that time - double it or more. If you live closer to the equator (the southern United States, for example), five to 10 minutes a day is sufficient. A dark-skinned African needs more than 20 times the sun exposure as a northern European to manufacture adequate vitamin D3. A person of African descent in Chicago, in the winter, could lay in the sun in a bathing suit all day long and still be deficient by the end of winter.

What are the best ways to keep your skin health at its peak? This is where you will find the latest technology in skin health and care; nurturing it from the inside, protecting it from the outside.
