Anti-Aging System

Why does your skin age? There are two factors that affect the aging of the skin: extrinsic and intrinsic. Intrinsic or internal aging is biological aging that occurs with the passing of time. Extrinsic or external aging is the natural process of biological aging compiled with exterior causes such as sun exposure, air pollution, smoking, lifestyle, cosmetics and other allergens and lack of care. Although both internal and external conditions affect the appearance of the skin, outside influences have considerable long term effects in terms of wrinkles and photo aging. The most damaging of all of these is sunlight. In fact, it has been said that ninety percent of the aging of your skin is due totally to sun damage. If this is true, think of the control one has as to how much the skin actually shows age.

Rhonda Allison’s Anti-Aging program is preventative as well as restorative. It is possible to reverse the signs of aging and improve sun-damaged skin. The first step is skin preparation – cleansing and exfoliating, secondly, rebuilding and strengthening – AHAs, Retinol (Vitamin A), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), next it is important to nourish and support – antioxidants, epidermal growth factor, vitamins, and minerals. Finally, the skin must have moisture, hydration, and protection from the environment – daytime and nighttime moisturizers and sun blocks.
