Antiaging Skin Care Treatment: Best Skin Care Routine

To fully understand the need for antiaging skin care treatments it is important to understand two key components. The first component is the importance of the skin and its relationship to the body. The second is exactly how the aging process affects the skin.

The largest organ of the human body is the skin. The importance of the skin is in the functions that it provides. Two of these important functions include the skin's ability to be the first line of defense in warding off illness. Also, an important function of the skin is the cooling of the body through sweating. The perspiration process allows the human body to maintain its 98.6° temperature.

As we grow older, the skin becomes less supple and elastic. This condition results from the body producing less collagen. This loss of elasticity results in the wrinkling and sagging of the skin.

Other aging symptoms demonstrated by the skin include the appearance of blemishes, "age spots" and warts. In addition, women who have experienced menopause have associated dryness of the skin. This dryness is due to the fact that the skin generates less oil and therefore a decrease in the skin’s moisture. Also, as we grow older the skin's ability to perspire is lessened. This decrease in the skin's ability to perspire puts the older individual at risk for heat stroke. (More...)
