Skin Structure


Skin Structure


The skin is made up of four layers; the horny outer layer, which consists of dead cells; the epidermis; the dermis; and the subcutaneous layer of fat. The skin is designed to be waterproof, and nothing that is put on the skin, such as moisturizers, cellular renewal creams or anti-ageing creams, can penetrate any deeper than the outermost layers of the epidermis.



Skin grows from within outwards. This occurs at the basal cell layer, which separates the dermis from the epidermis. These cells are continuously reproducing and moving forward towards the skin's surface. When these cells die, they form the horny layer that acts as a safety barrier and protects the fresh cells underneath. At the surface these cells form keratin, a layer of tough material that is thickest in body areas subject to the most wear and tear, such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The surface layer is in a constant state of renewal as the dead cells are sloughed off and replaced by other cells. Exfoliation removes this surface layer, leaving the skin smooth.



Collagen, the elastic tissue in the dermis layer, give the skin its suppleness, smoothness, and plumpness. As you age, the collagen tissues break down, which causes skin to sag, wrinkle, and thin. Nothing short of cosmetic surgery can prevent these signs of ageing. The rate at which your skin ages is inherited, so if your parents have young-looking skin, chances are you will too.

Tell your friends to remind you of your bad posture


I have a big problem with my posture. I've had it since age 14 and I think there haven't been a single day since then when I have not thought of my bad posture.Recently I've come to terms that my back "problem" is psychological rather than physical because when I'm at home or when I am outside when it's dark with few people around I can easliy walk with a straight back with no problems at all. But when I'm in a city centre full of people it feels like something litterally weighs down my shoulders, making it hard to walk with a straigh back.I have figured out that my back problem maybe has to do with low self esteem, or likely, though I, in general, do feel confident, so it's a bit contradicting.Like I wrote in the beginning of this post, I do think of my bad posture and to "stand straight" and likely on a daily basis. I usually manage to have a good posture for a minute or two when I suddenly find myself with a bad posture again.


I have thought of some "solutions" that helps a bit regarding this:First one is to let everyone around you know about your problem. I'm talking about those who you feel confident to share it with, of course. To me, my family and some of my closests friends. Tell them to remind you of your bad posture when they see it.Second one is to always think positive when you are thinking about your posture. Always think sentences like "I will walk with a straight back" or "Improving my posture" instead of the negative ones like "Damn, I'm having a bad posture right now".Think the law of attraction. Use only positive words in your head.Third is to start going to the gym. Working out those back muscles do help a lot with the posture.

Apply vitamin E oil to your skin as your anti-aging cream


Vitamin E is known for protecting cells in the skin from damaging through oxidation. This means you can use a vitamin E oil as a natural anti-aging oil because it counteract the aging of skin and stimulate the circulation of the blood.While i don't need to worry about my skin getting older, I do use a vitamin E oil called "E-Vita" (with an added smell of lavender) in my face because it makes my skin softer and I don't get dry skin. I feel applying it in the shower is the optimal.In food you can find high levels of vitamin E in green leafy vegetables and nuts.

Rub an apple on your sunburned skin to prevent it from blistering


I got this health tip from a T-Mobile ad in People Magazine(!) during a train ride in Holland.It's very short and to the point. All you have to do is to cut an appple in two and then rub the area of your sunburned skin with it for a couple of minutes. The acid of the apple is supposed to help your skin heal again faster, which is a very cheap and natural cure!A Google search confirms it.I guess right now (November 2008), this tip is suitable for people south of the equator. Hope you guys are enjoying the sun and the coming summer!
