Understanding telomeres can be as simple as comparing the telomeres to the cover of a book, keeping all of the pages in place through the book - in this case, ensuring that the chromosomes remain in place, as well as remaining protected.
What does this have to do with your skin? As DNA replicates itself, the telomeres that are used through the interior of the chromosomes become shorter and shorter.
Through this process, the shortening of the telomeres can create DNA that is insufficient and can allow DNA within the skin to represent signs of aging throughout the surface.
As the cells begin to age as the telomeres are shortened, we begin to see the appearance of aging through the surface of the skin.
Unfortunately, in the past many people have not begun to treat these signs of aging through these small components of DNA, rather treating the symptoms that appear through the skin - most times, too little too late.
In the past we have treated aging topically, with creams and treatments that were designed to improve the appearance of the skin from the outside in.
Now, with the knowledge base we have created and the information that we have learned, researchers have been developing treatments for aging skin that begin through the basic components of the skin, the most important part - from the inside out - reducing the age of the DNA and creating products that are able to replicate DNA to create new DNA therefore increasing the youthful appearance of the skin through constantly regenerating forms.
Through the products that are being developed, an important process called 'cell senesense' is being examined, as this is the aging process of the cells.
Learning about the division of the cells and the aging process that occurs can not only help researchers learn to preserve these cells, but can also be an effective way to create products that are going to effectively increase the life of these cells, increasing the time in which youthful skin can be present throughout the facial features.
While choosing between the many products that are available it is important to choose those that are created from a reputable company, with ingredients and processes that have been extensively tested.
Choosing products that are available for guaranteed results and ensuring that these products are used early in the aging process can be an effective way to ensure that the most favorable results are going to be demonstrated from the product that has been chosen to redefine the skin and reduce the impact of aging through the surface.
