A luminous skin...

I asked my long-time dermatologist, Norma Palkovska (the only person allowed to touch my face!!), to tell us how to achieve a luminous, healthy and firm skin. This is what she wrote for our blog...

"The skin is the largest organ on the human body and it's responsible for the 5% of our total weight. On our skin we register symptoms of pain, touch, heat and cold, pushing our organism to produce the answer required.  It is also where we reveal our feelings and emotions, such as anguish, embarrassment (flush), fear (paleness) and anxiety (sweating). The epidermis, which is the outer layer, is a tissue in constant renovation and through mitosis, the cells divide, migrate, change and die in approximately a month. 

One of the reasons why our skin ages is the strengthening of the intercellular membrane, through which is produced the exchange of oxygen and fluids between the surface and the inner layers, so necessary for the lives of cells. Without this exchange, the cell loses its vitality and its capacity to renew itself, thus achieving a faded aura. With functions so different, demanding and permanent, and requirement from the outside and the inside, attention given to our skin must be important. Nothing better then than bio-reactivaiting massages, which activate the blood flow to the skin and muscles and stimulate the elimination of organic disposal. Cells and their functions get revitalized and are left in an optimal condition to take advantage of the benefits of the various cosmetic products to be used later. In this way we prevent and improve the look of wrinkles, spots and expression lines. Our skin will look more luminous, healthy and firm."

Thank you Norma! I hope this is useful for you all...
