THE STRUCTURE OF SKIN & HOW IT WORKS
CAUSES OF AGING
P I. Understanding Skin
The Structure of Your Skin
9
The epidermis layer where the natural processof exfoliation occurs. This is the protective layer for the body. The dermis layer is the “living skin”. This layer is contains the collagen and elastin that gives our skin it’s plumpness and elasticity.
The muscular structure gives your face the fullness and shape as it wraps around the skeletal
structure.
Structure of your Skin
EpidermisS
tratum Corneum – the outer most layer of the epidermis
Keratinocytes - the bulk of the cells within the epidermis
Keratin – Protective protein that forms the chemical basis of epidermal tissues
Melanocytes - An epidermal cell that produces melanin, a black to brown skin pigment
Melanin - The primary purpose of melanin is to absorb UV rays.
Langerhans Cells - specialized cells of the immune system that respond to foreign substances coming into contact with the skin.
Merkel Cells - assist in the transfer of mechanical signals from the skin to sensory nerves to the brain.
Epidermal Skin Cells
Life Cycle
11
Unspecialized stem cells in the deepest part of the epidermis divide by mitosis. They start to migrate upward toward the skin’s surface.
Along the way they manufacture a tough, resilient protein called keratin.
As the cells migrate upward, they gradually flatten.
Once they are too distant from any blood supply they die.
They remain bonded together by a waterproof adhesive until they are lost as some of the millions of skin flakes that fall from our bodies daily.
INTERESTING FACT:
Humans shed and re-grow outer skin cells approximately every 27 days.
Structure of Skin
DermisC
ollagen - the main structural protein of the all connective tissuesE
lastin - is a protein in connective tissue that is elasticF
ibroblast - a cell that produces and secretes collagenS
ebaceous Glands - secrete an oily/waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair
Sebum - a fatty substance made by the sebaceous glands that help move toxins through the dermis and out to the epidermis, where they can be shed.
Capillaries - the body’s smallest type of blood vessels, deliver nutrients to the skin
Hemoglobin - is the iron-containing protein fpind in red blood cells that transports oxygen
sweat glands, hair follicles, hair-raising arrector pili muscles
Skin Cell Turnover Rate. Is higher in facial skin. Dryness and decreased environmental exposure result in a slower skin cell turnover rate in body skin. The result is less natural exfoliation resulting in often thicker, scalier skin.
Sebaceousness (Oiliness). Body skin is less oily than facial skin because it has far fewer sebaceous glands. Dryness may be more problematic.
Skin thickness. The facial epidermis is about 0.10mm thick, while body skin is thicker, around 0.60 mm. This environment can lead to a build up of dead skin cells.
Differences between Face and Body Skin
Environment – Extrinsic AgingHeredity – Intrinsic Aging
14
Causes of Aging
15
EXTRINSIC AGING
Environmental Sun, Wind Harsh, cold climate Ingestion (food, alcohol,
drugs) Gravity, etc
INTRINSIC AGING
Heredity see Fitzpatrick Scale – the
fairer your skin the quicker you age!
Loss of collagen & elastin Loss of facial fat Dry skin Thin and transparent skin
Heredity – “Natural” Aging
16
Loss of collagen and elastin
Structural attachment between the dermis and epidermis weakens
Skin sags and thins
Skin renewal process slows
New Theories in Science on Aging
The Wear and Tear TheoryBody and cells decline with use and abuse from stress, overuse, diet, toxins, bacteria, etc.
The Free Radical TheoryJust by breathing and breaking down food, our body creates free radicals, or molecules with unpaired electrons.These unstable molecules make their way through the body, scavenging our cells, trying to snatch up that missing part.
17
New Theories in Science on Aging
The Telomerase Theory of AgingFindings that Telomeres, which are sequences of nucleic acids extending from the ends of chromosomes become shortened, frayed and contribute to degeneration of cells.
The Mitochondrial Decline Theory of AgingThe Mitochondria (organelles) found in every cell creates ATP which the body uses for fuel. It becomes less efficient, fewer in number and ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) production declines.
18
New Theories in Science on Aging
The DNA & Genetic TheoryAccumulation of unrepaired DNA damage.
The Acidification TheoryAcid Waste Buildup in system which can be flushed out by an alkaline food and water.

“ABCs” to watch for: A - Asymmetry - not symmetrically
round if you draw a line through it B - Border is irregular C - Color varies, even within the lesion;
may be brown, tan, black, red, white D - Diameter is usually larger than 6
mm, or a pencil eraser E - Evolving, changing in size, shape,
color or crustiness25

Acne/Blemishes/Rosacea
Hyperpigmentation
Dark or Puffy Eyes
Redundant Skin
Couperose 28
III. Skin Concerns - FACE
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Epidermal cells become thinner and less sticky
Decreases in moisture causes dryness.
Collagen production decreases and elastin fibers gradually begin to wear out.
Fat cells get smaller and no longer provide even support beneath the tissue.
Muscles loose their tone.
Changes is hormones contribute to decreased estrogen production. This causes a 2% decrease in collagen per year.
Habitual facial expressions (ex grimacing) causes skin to form wrinkles.
The effect of gravity over time causes the skin to loosen and sag (a primary cause of jowls and drooping eye lids).
29
Hyperpigmentation
Common, mostly harmless, condition causing areas of skin to become darker than surrounding tissue.
Sometimes referred to as “brown” or“age” or “liver spots”
Caused by over-exposure to the sun and UV rays
Develops on areas frequently exposed to the sun.
Melasma are similar in appearance but are much larger areas of skin. These are the result of hormonal changes in the body.
Dark or Puffy Eyes
Common causes for Dark Eyes include:
Allergies, Eczema Hereditary Lifestyle factors; physical,
emotional stress, smoking, chronic alcohol consumption
Liver Congestion Pigmentation Irregularities Rubbing the eyes Sun exposure (over
production of melanin) Puffy Eyes
(Fluid Retention or Fat Deposits)Common Causes for “bags” include
StressAllergies
Hormone Changes/CryingSleeping or Lack of Sleep
Salty Foods
Redundant Skin
This commonly develops as we age, partially because of the effects of gravity on the skin.
Other causes: Collagen Elastin Loss (thinning skin) Decrease in Hyaluronic Acid (holds
skins outer cells together) Decreased Cell Production Lack of Nutrients (such as Vitamin C) Obesity and Weight Loss UV Damage Facial Muscle Tone
Surgery is the most common treatment Neck exercises involving the tongue can
help tighten the skin naturally and tighten loose skin but with minimal results
32
Couperous “Broken Capillaries”
Couperous skin(also called Telangectasias)can be caused by environmental elements (cold, wind, alcohol and tobacco use) as well as thinning skin and Rosacea
33
Acne & Blemishes
Acne occurs when the oil glands of the skin become plugged.
It is more common in people with oily skin.
Acne occurs in adolescents and young adults.
In acne there are blackheads (the plugs found in blocked-off oil glands), whiteheads (pimples), or red bumps on the face, neck, and shoulders.
Blemishes caused by hormones, cellular debris, possibly diet.
34
IV. Skin’s needs for health and maintenance
Repairing skin is a combination of factors:Feeding the skin with NUTRITION through
INGESTION (supplements, food and water!)
TOPICALLY (treatments and homecare products and massage)
Exposure to the for at least 15 minutes a day for Vitamin DCreating CIRCULATION via massage or exercise
35
ALSO TIME ANDCOMMITMENT!
Healthy Skin - Diet
The food we eat has a major impact on the look and appearance of our skin
Vitamins and minerals will help to keep your skin looking smoother
and younger
Beneficial ingredients include
Selenium
Omega 3’ fatty acids
B vitamins
Antioxidants found in
Vitamin C (fruits)
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON…..
In short….eat healthy for good skin!
36
Healthy Skin - Exercise
Exercise is not only good for your heart and muscles, it is great for
keeping your skin looking younger, longer
Increased circulation helps to clear toxins from the body and increase the delivery of essential nutrients to the skin cells
Provides optimal conditions for collagen production which will help reduce the formation of wrinkles
Can reduce the pockets of cellulite of “cottage cheese” that develop on fatty areas of the body such as the thighs and butt
Exercises such as yoga can help increase blood flow to the face (supplying the skin with more nutrients) and provide a“facelift” benefit from backwards poses by exercising the facial muscles 37
Healthy Skin - Treatments
Receiving a Facial Treatment such as a deep pore cleaning, occasional deep exfoliation or Bellanina Facelift Massage keeps the skin stimulated and healthy!

Skin Types
42
DRY skin is often a temporary problem but can
be irritating. Re-hydrating the skin is important to resolve this
condition.
SENSITIVE skin is highly reactive to certain products.
This causes irritation and redness.
OILY skin can be caused by several factors. Frequent acne and enlarged pores are
common occurrences.
NORMAL skin will have occasional dryness or
blemishes but is usually smooth, clear and hydrated.
Combination
Most people have a combination skin type that will be a mixture of two or more
common types.
For example, a person with “combination” skin may have
dry hands but oily face problems.
INTERESTING FACT:The skin is the largest organ in the body and accounts for 12-15% of total body weight.

Organic – Refers to how a plant is grown.
Natural – A product derived from a plant (botanical) combined with naturally occuring carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants, and emulsifiers.
Synthetic – Science of creating, in a lab, which molecularly match those from nature in every way, i.e. nature-identical.
Organic personal care products is now a 7 Billion dollar industry (2012)
V. Natural vs. Synthetic vs. Organic
Ingredients & Products
44
Hypoallergenic and natural can mean anything and nothing, really – market words
The FDA has no authority to require companies to test cosmetics for safety
People are affected by ingredients by breathing in sprays and powders, swallowing chemicals via lips and hands, or absorbing them through the skin
The average woman uses 12 personal care products daily; men use 6, exposing themselves (women) to more than 80 unique ingredients (teens more)
The only ‘safe’ sunscreen ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (maybe)
NOT A FACT: Americans are getting dumber; Average IQ below average intelligence, thought to be caused by toxic affects to brain chemistry!
V. Product Ingredients Facts
Healthy Sunscreens….Oxymoron?
As the saying goes……
The sun is dangerous
Stay out of the sun
The sun is the primary cause of skin cancer
Sunscreen will protect your
skin from damaging rays
Possible truths:Sunscreens can be toxic to skinSunscreens can cause skin cancerNearly all conventional sunscreen products contain toxic and cancer causing chemicalsSunscreen blocks over 70% vitamin D production which your skin needsSunscreens are valuable under certain conditions (10/4 rule)Natural ingredients (botanicals) can help to block the damaging rays
