Wrinkles – What Are They?

A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water.Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.

With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn’t expand evenly, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin. Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.

Aging wrinkles

In humans, collagen is very stable. Unlike some human cells of the body that are constantly dying and replicating, collagen cells will not be replaced for around 30 years. As a result. these old collagen cells breakdown and according to research, it is this fragmented collagen that causes wrinkles. Fragmented collagen also leads to skin tearing and bruising easier than it otherwise would.

Dermajuv – Bunch of Hype?

What is Dermajuv Complete Rejuvenation System? You’ve seen it in magazines, maybe on TV and people are talking about this miracle system all over the internet, so what exactly is it and does it really work? To find out if it works read my complete review of the Dermajuv Complete Rejuvenation System.

However, if you want to know in detail what this system consists of read further. This is according to their official web site:

The Dermajuv Complete Rejuvenation System® is a method of combining the use of three high powered, uniquely effective formulas on a daily basis for a 30-45 day period. After the initial cycle of the System, a user may choose to repeat the cycle, OR simply continue to use the formula(s) of their choice.

The system consists of: Original Smoothing Cream, Dynamic Age Defying Serum & Instant-Effect Lifting Serum.

I decided to go with the complete system because it is less expensive compared to buying each of these separately.

What is Original Smoothing Cream?

A rich, luxurious cream. Adds deep moisture and smooths wrinkles with Matrixyl and Sodium Hyaluronate. Increasing your skin’s own collagen and cell regeneration.

What is Dynamic Age Defying Serum?

A light, yet creamy serum that attacks wrinkles, age spots, large pores and facial redness. The total package in anti-aging, this is a rare product containing real Renovage.

What is Instant-Effect Lifting Serum?

A light, fresh serum that provides an instant-lift with the tightening agent, Sesaflash. Also containing Matrixyl, this serum provides long term wrinkle removal benefits.

I recommend you read my review of Dermajuv Complete System to find out how they work and what exactly they do to your face. I will review each product separately later.
