Throughout our life, our skin will change constantly and regenerate itself.

Like the sleep cycle and hormonal cycle, human skin also has its own cycle called cell turnover. The new skin cells are formed at the basal layer of the human skin and work their way up to the surface of the skin. Shedding dry skin cells from the upper layer of the skin and replacing it with new cells, this process is called skin cell turnover or cycles.

The skin regeneration time frames, rates, and at different parts of the body can vary with each individual and are affected by such factors as age, hormones, health, diet, lifestyle, and genetics.

The skin cell regeneration cycle length changes with age. On average cell, turnover is about 5-6 weeks whereas youth skin cell turnover is faster, it’s estimated to be 28 days. The body cell turnover is about 4-5 weeks faster than the face cell turnover.

As we age the rate of cell turnover decreases along with the process of the cell cycle lengthening resulting in loss of luminosity, wrinkles, and uneven complexion.

A healthy Lifestyle and Diet play a vital role to produce healthy cells to replace dying cells and without healthy cells, it can not possible.

A quick turnover rate means skin can respond better to sun damage by replacing skin cells quickly. Accumulation of dead skin cells can be reduced fast by clearing the dead cells and leading to clearer skin and even skin tone. Speeding up the cell turnover process can help promote a youthful appearance.

The positive news is that we can actually speed up cell turnover. It’s important to choose skin care products that help accelerate cellular turnover faster, exfoliate the skin, and incorporate antioxidants.

A healthy diet, living a healthy lifestyle, staying hydrated, beauty sleep, and exercise are equally important to achieve healthy skin.
