Continuity is key
The life cycle of your skin cells is around 28 days, although some studies suggest this can slow to around 40 days with age. This determines how long it takes for a cell to be created deep within the skin, travel up through various layers and arrive at the surface, inactive and ready to shed. This process is the reason that new skin habits or active ingredients need a consistent month’s use to really change your skin. Once every cell on your face has been turned over at least once, that’s when the magic happens, results-wise.
FOR IMPROVED TEXTURE
Speed things up
The first step in any 30-day skin journey should be helping that cell turnover process be as efficient as possible. Newly created cells look healthier and fresher than old ones, so a speedy cycle equals better skin texture. If you don’t already, start using a retinol product. These vitamin A derivatives are proven to give cell turnover a boost and really don’t deserve their aggressive reputation, as long as you pick a low percentage).
