Macro E … When more isn't better

Did you know… When it comes to macro-exfoliation, more isn’t always better

When you macro-exfoliate, you can remove up to five million dead skin cells.  It can do wonders for your complexion, but in this case, more isn’t always better—too much of a good thing can leave your skin red and irritated. The REDEFINE MACRO Exfoliator™ is exfoliation that is only meant to be used once a week, for five minutes as directed. For any exfoliation enthusiasts out there, we recommend completing your macro-exfoliation with ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion paste two to three times per week; just don’t use both products in the same day.

Spring Cleaning … Your Skin

Letter from the Editor: Spring Cleaning … Your Skin

Ready to dust off those winter blues and welcome the new season? Spring is here and that means it’s time for a good old-fashioned spring cleaning. This March, as you whip out your duster and attack your blinds, baseboards and windowsills, here is some food for thought:  90 percent of house dust is actually dead skin cells.

That’s right … the epidermis, the outermost layer of our skin, can shed up to a million dead cells every 40 minutes. That adds up to a whopping 1.5 pounds of skin cell dust a year. By the time you reach age 70, more than 100 pounds can be lost—and that’s without a diet. Unlike a snake that completely sheds its skin every year, humans do it on a continuous basis, creating as many as 1,000 brand-new skins in a lifetime.

In an average young person, skin cells turn over every 28 to 30 days, which means the epidermis can renew itself every month. It’s why young skin always looks so fresh and rosy. Problematically, this process slows over time, so much so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50 days or more for the skin to rejuvenate. When dead cells don’t slough off as rapidly, your skin gets thicker, appearing almost stale, and dead cells pack into your pores, making them look larger.

Tune in to Derm RF all month long to learn how to spring into great skin and reveal a younger-looking complexion, just in time for summer. Keep an eye out for tips, tricks and chances to win, and, if you haven’t already, subscribe today to get all our updates.

By the Book: Exfoliation

Exfoliation offers a simple way to get your skin to look like it’s younger than its years. Literally defined as the removal of layers, exfoliation supports the natural process of skin cell shedding. When we’re young, our skin cells turn over every 28-30 days, giving skin that healthy-looking, fresh glow we associate with a youthful appearance. Over time, this process of epidermal renewal slows, so much so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50+ days for the outermost skin to turn over. When dead cells don’t slough off as rapidly, your stratum corneum gets thicker, appearing almost stale, and the dead cells can pack into your pores, making them look larger. This is why exfoliation is so important—it assists the natural shedding process and reveals the newer, fresher skin cells below.
