What is the skin?
As the biggest organ of the body, the skin regulates your body temperature, manufactures Vitamin D and protects the body beneath. There are three main layers to the skin, each having its own specific characteristics.

The layers of the skin
The epidermis, or the top layer, is what we can see when we look at the surface of the skin, and is essentially made up of dead cells in a flat appearance.
The dermis, the middle layer, is considerably thicker than the epidermis, and contains blood and lymph vessels, hair follicles, sensory nerve endings and sebaceous and sweat glands. This layer manufactures new, living skin cells, which eventually emerge into the surface layer, the epidermis. The subcutaneous, the final layer, is where the tiny muscles that keep the skin toned and firm are found, along with the fatty tissue that supports the skin.

How Elli no1 Can Help?

The area that you most concentrate on with your skin-care regime, is the epidermis, although it is interdependent on the other two layers for its condition along with the rest of the body. How quickly the dead surface cells are replaced by new cells from the dermis determines the appearance of the skin. The healthier, softer and the smoother the skin appears, the quicker this process will take place. Lifeless, dull and lacking lustre are some ways to describe the complexion of the skin, when dead skin cells collect on the surface. Gentle exfoliation is one of the ways to cleanse the skin, not only removing the dirt from the surface and pores but also removing the dead skin cells. This way a dull complexion can be improved. The natural process of cell renewal slows down as we age, the youthful elasticity of the skin diminishing. To help retain a beautiful complexion as you age, Elli no1 rejuvenating skin care creams can help. These creams help stimulate rapid regeneration of the cells in the dermis.

Normal skin

The so called 'normal skin' is rare beyond puberty and is generally found in children. It is characterised by good hydration, muscle tone, a balanced metabolism and good circulation. It has an attractive, natural bloom and colour, and looks soft and supple. Blemish free, this skin type has a fine texture with no wrinkles or crow's-feet around the eyes and no enlarged open pores. It's just as important to care for normal skin as it is for other skin types, although the aim is to preserve the skins condition rather than improving it. As with all skin types, normal skin must be cleansed thoroughly, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. After cleansing, toning and moisturising completes the basic daily skin-care regime. Once a fortnight, exfoliation using a facial scrub - this is recommended in which to keep your skin healthy.
