BIONOVA Skincare Brand Asks: How Healthy is an Exfoliation Procedure?!

NEW YORK, May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

What is Exfoliation from the skincare industry's point of view?  

Exfoliation is a procedure that involves the removal of "dead" skin cells from the skin's surface. Theoretically this sounds logical, and that exfoliation should benefit the skin.

In practice, it is impossible to perform mechanical or chemical exfoliation without damaging other layers of the skin which means: breaking reproductive and differentiating ability of the skin, exhausting its natural resources that causes the dysfunction of re-synthesis of connective tissue elements (elastin, collagen, fibronectin and other structural proteins), and overall interferes with the skin's normal functioning.

What is Exfoliation from the physiological point of view?  

Today, it is a well known fact that one of the most important functions of the cell is to synthesize active ingredients necessary for normal metabolism. The cells (except some for the brain) constantly go through genetically determined renewal cycles with a different speed that depends on age.  

There is no such definition as a "dead" cell in the Living System. A so-called "dead" cell is transformed from one function (to synthesize new substances, etc) into another -Skin Barrier Function that serves as our "body guard."  

How does Skin react to Forced Exfoliation? 

The purpose of any exfoliation is to increase the speed of cell regeneration by forcefully shedding the superficial layer of the skin. This procedure interferes with the body's natural regenerative processes. With each procedure, the body produces rougher skin, as a defensive response on aggression.

Unfortunately, as time passes, the dependency on exfoliation becomes more frequent, which leads to premature aging, dark spot appearances, sagginess, skin dryness, brown spots, skin sensitivity, allergic reactions, etc.   

BIONOVA's Standpoint 

BIONOVA believes that the Human Body is a perfect creation that has everything in balance. The natural exfoliation occurs at the body's own speed. We trust the body's own processes by recognizing and appreciating them. 

The skincare regimen that helps normalize skin metabolism and enhance the Barrier System, is the key to Healthy and Beautiful looking skin.
