The human body is an exponentially complex machine. In fact, it is so complex that we are always realizing new things about its functions and capabilities. With discoveries being made on a daily basis, there is a never ending stream of new information to be aware of. The skin often seems like one of the more basic aspects of the body. However, when you take into consideration that it is actually the largest organ, you will quickly realize that there are hundreds of facts about the skin that you know nothing of. Today we are going to share with you a few things that you probably don’t know about your skin.
Facts About Your Skin
1. Your sleeping position affects your skin
Did you know that the position you sleep in can lead to more wrinkles and creases?
When we go to bed, we typically don’t put too much thought into the position we sleep in. After a long day of working, cleaning, and going through our routines we just want to get into the most comfortable position, and fall asleep as quickly as possible. However, if you sleep with your face pressed against a pillow, you will experience more wrinkles and creases than if you were to sleep on your back.
2. Your skin requires fresh air
Your skin’s oxygen supply is a combined effort of both internal, and external sources. Internally, your blood carries oxygen to the skin. externally, your skin absorbs oxygen via cellular respiration. Fresh air will provide you with healthier, and more youthful skin.
3. Moisturize from the inside out
It is important that you are providing your skin with the proper amount of moisture internally, and externally. Drinking enough water is the best way moisturize your skin internally. Applying moisturizer often is the best way to keep your skin hydrated externally. Be sure to apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp, as this will help to lock in moisture.
4. The skin on your face needs a workout
Want to prevent the skin on your face from appearing flabby? Facial exercises sound a little strange, but your face has muscles that will benefit from this type of practice.
5. At 20 you are aging as quickly as your parents
There is a widespread misconception that we shouldn’t take steps to ensure that our skin ages gracefully, until we have already begun to notice creases and loss of luster. The truth is, your skin has already begun to age once you hit your 20s. At this young age, your skin is already losing collagen at the same rate as a 40 year old. One of the best ways to prevent loss of collagen is to provide our skin with an ample supply of vitamin C.
