Face the Facts: When Looking in the Mirror Ain’t that Great
ZO Skin Health asked:
In City Slickers, Mitch (Billy Crystal) thought about his 39th birthday, and told his boss—”did you ever reach a point in your life when you say to yourself, this is the best I’m ever going to look; this is the best that I’m ever going to feel, this is the best that I’m ever going to do, and it ain’t that great?” Mid-life crisis happens to the best of us. I see many people who confront the same realities. But while they may be looking in the mirror, they’re not looking hard enough. So let’s face the facts.
Wrinkles happen. Gray hair happens. Age spots happen. It’s all treatable. My wife is 46; she has never looked more beautiful. Now that our three kids are teenagers, she has more time to care of herself. Her inner beauty comes through.
Look in the mirror. You already know that what’s really important and vital isn’t visible on the surface. Your mother already told you that. But here’s something that maybe you don’t know.
The same is true with your skin. The cells that are visible on the surface of your skin are all dead—they’re has been’s. Yesterday’s news. They’ve served their purpose; they’re useless now. The cells that are really important reside deep in the epidermis and the dermis, way beneath the surface. It’s there that the skin cells renew themselves and produce collagen and elastin, which give your skin its elasticity, firmness and vitality. Keep those skin cells active, and functioning, and your wrinkles will diminish. But if you use products that treat only the surface of the skin, your skin cells will go dormant, and fail to produce the youth-sustaining proteins that it needs to restore a smooth, firm, even-toned complexion. That’s why I’m an advocate of high concentrations of active Vitamin A, also known as retinol and retinoic acid. It works beneath the surface of the skin to activate and stimulate your skin cells.
Just remember, with your emotional health, and with your skin health, treat what is on the inside, and the outside will take care of itself.
