Keratinization? The future of skin quality

Let's Start with the basic's:

Epidermis-keratinization:

--located in the epidermis,

*Stratified Squamous

* Stratum Corneum

* Stratum Germinativum

Skin Tissue:

*Stratified Squamous Epitheal

Stratum Corneum: the OUTER MOST layer

*the "horny" layer

--named "horny" because this tissue is toughened like an animals horns

-- Corneum, is Latin for "horned"

-- almost entirely dead cells

Stratum Germinativum: the INNER MOST layer, the "deepest layer"

*the place were CELLS are PRODUCED

*this is the stage in the keratinization process where the dead cells are pushed UP to the surface and shed of old cells to create the NEW SKIN CELLS

* a type of protein in hair,nails, and skin

* the materials used to make to OUTSIDE of the skin

* the structure component of the skin

Keratinization Process, (skin renewal process):

1. Stratum Germinativum

2. Keratinocytes move to the next epidermis layer : Stratum Spinosm (cells are dense)

3. Then the cells go to the Stratum Granulosm, pick up granules(contain lipids), lipids make water barriers

4. The cells are now flattened, the nucleus disappears, the result is keratin

5. The next layer is Stratum Lucidum, ready to move to the final layers

6. The enzyme changes and causes the cell to die

7.Then there is the Stratum Corneum, the platform of dead cells

8. Directly, underneath that is living cells that is pushed upward to be placed in the corneum

* this process takes.. 28 days

Provides:

* strength from outside forces

* protection from dehydration

* protection from abrasion

* protects the living cell that are in the core of the skin

-- it is the outer protective layer to block bacteria from the skin

The Future of Flawless Skin

Getting Started:

Wrinkles:

-- the point in life when the dermis loses both collagen(a protein that help prevent wrinkles) and elastin(fibers that revitalize the skin), so the skin become THIN and holding moisture is extremely hard

*exposure to the environment

*aging process

*sun damage

*muscle development

*gravity

*surgery

*acne

*smoking

*skin disease that may scar

--example: Discord Lupus

"Prevention"

--ANY time you are outside even briefly use UV-protection

*statistic's say: 2 out of 3 people with visible skin defects, show psychological problems

I choose to help those children, young adults, and elders of the future. The up coming society should not have to suffer. I wish to change the current statistic's of youth depressions and promote healthy skin. If we start now, healthy skin and glowing faces will be in the "NEW". The need to slow down the aging process, is the need to learn facts and details of the skin. The surface of the human face is essential in a happy life for everyone.

Skin Tissue:

"The Epidermis"

* the body's major barrier against the environment

* Holding the skin cells together

* puts up a wall against water loss

* a skin protection blanket

• What exactly is KERATIN?

How does Keratin protect the skin?

" Acid Mantle", pertaining to Skin...

what is the acid mantle?

-- it is the skins secrete sebum and sweat

-- helps fight against irritability

The "How's" of wrinkles

The "Why's" of wrinkles

*genetic tendency

*skin photo type

--protection from sun LIFE-LONG

TREATMENTS:

--Moisturizers (regularly) / improves water holding capacity

-- moisturizers

--use tepid/ warm tap water with a non-cleanser (twice a day)

-- anti-aging formulas

-- Resurfacing

--implantation

-- Cosmetic Surgery

Psychological Impacts:

* anger

*depression
