The skin is the body's largest organ and accounts
for about 15% of total body weight. Designed to give sensation, protection
and heat regulation, it's also subjected to some pretty harsh treatment
by most people, and is very susceptible to ageing.
Skin ageing is caused by a number of factors; skin type, colour, excessive
dieting or exercise, smoking and sun damage. The latter in particular
is responsible for a lot of preventable damage. You can see this,
just by comparing the skin on parts of the body that have been exposed
to the sun to those that haven't. It's now understood that a tan is
actually a sign of UV injury to the skin.
One exciting new concept in skin care is that of 'skin fitness'. Put
simply, this means that like your body, your skin must be exercised
in order to function and look its best. It should actually be stimulated,
so that it can regenerate itself faster and appear more toned.
