It is said that women are said to age more quickly than men and the sun
exposure issue is a major factor. The sun's penetrating UVA rays on under
protected skin allow the sun's penetrating UVA rays to more quickly and
deeply damage a woman's thinner skin. As a result of western women's
dress, melanoma develops on different body areas than men. Because fashion
dictates, women often wear skirts, the most common site for serious skin
issues is the lower legs. In men, melanoma is most commonly found on the
back. To protect yourself from skin cancer, remember to cover all exposed
skin at all times.
A woman's skin also tends to change color and texture with age; while
sun exposure is responsible for many of these changes, others are caused
by the dynamic hormonal variations that occur around and during menopause.
The hormone estrogen is responsible for maintaining the bony framework
beneath the skin and helps keep the skin soft and resilient and works to
keep a vibrant, healthy facial complexion. The issue of hormone
replacement therapy is front and center in the news today. The use of
all-natural progesterone creams provides many or all of the benefits
hormone replacement therapy does, however, with natural products and
without many of the side effects. More information about natural
progesterone replacement can be found at www.realprogesterone.com.
A woman's skin is the largest organ of the body. It functions as a
barrier to prevent the intrusion of toxic substance, provides a first line
of defense against bacterial, viral, and fungal organisms, acts as a
thermostat in regulating body temperature and acts as a sensor for stimuli
through touch. Great looking skin begins early in childhood but requires
careful attention throughout life to guarantee beautiful, healthy skin as
an adult. IH Distribution provides a complete, all-natural skin care line
