Turn Back Time By Cheryl Martin Hawai‘i Licensed Cosmetology Instructor Licensed Skin and Beauty Specialist A smooth, soft, supple skin on the female face, free of any blemishes is highly attractive to the male, as is the male face to the female. Sun, smoking, stress, disease and aging will alter the structure of the skin in time, making the skin sag, lose its luster and suppleness. You’ve heard the claims, the 30s are the new 20s, the 40s are the new 30s and so on. What stimulates this age-defying society? There are many contributing factors. We’re better educated for one; instead of lathering ourselves with baby oil and sunbathing, we now apply SPF with both UVA and UVB protection. Advancements in technology and science have created procedures and products to fight the aging process to help us to look younger. Consider the use of botulinum toxin type A, which is a neurotoxin protein used to treat medical conditions such as painful muscle spasms and blepharospasm (eye twitching), but is better known as Botox and its uses in cosmetic treatments.
