Reduce Inflammation
Your body responds to damage by rushing defensive nutrients to
the affected area. It does this by dilating the blood vessels
and releasing specific chemicals. You notice that after an injury
or infection your skin becomes warm and red. In fact, the redness
that you experience from sunburn is actually the result of inflammation.
While this is beneficial in the short term, prolonged inflammation
actually causes the free-radical damage and cell wall deterioration
that it is attempting to prevent. That is why it is important
to use soothing ingredients, both topically and internally, to
calm inflammation before it begins doing more harm than good.
Fortunately, anti-inflammatories are widely available in a variety
of products.
Promote Exfoliation
By the time we reach adulthood, our rate of cell turnover has
drastically diminished, and we are left with a surface of dead
skin cells that look dull and no longer provide an adequate barrier
against the elements and water loss. The way to combat this is
through exfoliation, the removal of surface dead cells. This can
be done either chemically, using mild agents that dissolve the
dead cells, or mechanically, using textured soaps or sponges and
brushes that can wipe away the surface cells. When you remove
cells from your skin's surface, a message is sent telling your
body to create replacements. These will be strong young cells
that not only look and feel healthy but also are better equipped
to stand up to the onslaught of cellulite. It is important to
remember that when you exfoliate, you are not so much removing
cells as replacing them with stronger ones. By reducing these
dead, ineffectual cells, you also increase the efficacy of topical
treatments applied to the area.
