The human body truly is an amazing organism. For proof, just consider its natural process for removing dead skin cells. Skin cells are constantly being created in the lower layers of the skin, known as the dermis. The outer layer that’s visible to us is called the epidermis. As skin cells are born and progress through their 30-day lifecycle, they are coated with keratin, which protects the epidermis from the elements.
Unfortunately, aging delays the natural process of renewal. Dead skin cells are sometimes trapped, giving the face a rougher look and feel. Many people rely on exfoliating lotion to scrub away the unnecessary layer of dead skin to expose the new, softer skin beneath. Without any surgery or other expensive cosmetic procedures, it’s possible to look and feel much younger.
