With Eternalist you can…Say “Good Morning” to yourself and your skin

All of us know the problems of having to get up every morning to face the challenges of today’s world: traffic, stress, pollution, UV radiation, fast food. It is easy to imagine that the same is true for your skin, since it is the outer expression of yourself. Your skin, and therefore YOU, will be the target of a multitude of aggressions throughout the day. As if you didn’t already have enough to look out for, you now have come to the age when ignoring the damage that the sun can cause to your skin is not even an option. Dryness and flakiness caused by a compromised lipid barrier on your skin sounds minor, but the consequences can be devastating.

7:00A.M. Your Skin Awakens….

Have you ever imagined, if even for a moment, that your skin wakes up every morning just as you do?
The signs that your body is coming out of a lethargic state, during which you enjoyed seven to nine hours of sleep, are very familiar: Slow reaction time, the numbness and contraction of joints and muscles, puffiness around the eyes, swelling of the mouth, itchy dry skin…”Puffy” skin is actually the best indication that you have just spent several hours sleeping! And your morning looks are due to no other reason than this fact:

15% of your blood migrates to your skin during sleep time.

This natural function takes place just so your body temperature is regulated as your entire metabolism slows down. It is also during these sleep periods that your skin “puffs up”, largely due to the higher temperatures, but also to allow sweat glands to release water, and to expel used up nutrients, salts and toxins…

This swelling up and expressing of moisture is like a double edged sword: Your body has been genetically programmed to cycle through a maintenance schedule during which an uninterrupted eight hours of cell regeneration can occur. Even though it detoxifies and keeps you warm during sleep time, it also leaves your skin stretched after swelling, and very dry!
Once your metabolism kicks back into full gear and your blood demand is redirected to your other vital organs, your skin will sag and may leave you with a small deficit if it is not properly cared for. Although it is never noticed during our youth, it is like the “compounded interest” on your credit card –pretty soon you see that number grow to a huge amount!

This natural schedule of events occurs every day, and in each cycle of puffing up, stretching and then sagging, the wrinkles start to appear. Naturally.

Do you realize how essential it is to supply your skin with all the elements to start its day? In the morning, when your skin is without much tone and after spending the entire night drying because of lack of water, the first logical step is to hydrate- it but is this enough?

Weather you work at home or you commute everyday as millions of women do, the day will be long and arduous, and after you took the first step in protecting your skin with the best sunscreen available, you also have to supply your dermis with nutrition that will turn to energy, in order to respond to its daily environmental attacks.
