Skin and the Science of Aging

Ever wonder why babies have such plum and plush skin?  It’s because a babies skin regenerates super fast! As we get older, the regeneration process slows down and dead skin (Keratin) accumulates on the skin’s surface making it harder for lotions and creams to penetrate down to the basal layer were skin renewal occurs.  As we age, our skin continues to loose collagen which cause loose skin and sagging. The dermal and epidermal junction where skin renews itself.
