How To Support Your Natural Skin Cycle?

Life and nature see the recurrent happening of cycles, so your skin does. During the skin cycle process, your skin constantly renews and repairs and you can support it.

The skin cycle is essential for maintaining the health of your skin but with ageing, it slows down. Your skincare products can play a huge role in this process.


What Is The Skin Cycle And How Does It Work?

The skin cycle is a natural process when your skin renews and repairs itself, where skin cells go through different phases, eventually leading to the shedding of dead cells and the formation of new, healthy skin. This cycle is essential for your skin's health, texture, and appearance.
 
The average skin cycle takes about 28 to 40 days in younger adults but, as we age, this cycle slows down, which can result in dull, uneven skin texture, as dead cells accumulate on the surface for longer periods.

Skin Cycle Steps And The Right Product For Each Stage

This renewal process goes through three different stages and each one is essential to the next one like the link of a chain. For each step, you can use a specific product to ensure your skin cycle works smoothly.

Stage 1: Cell Production (Proliferation)

In this phase, new skin cells are generated in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating healthy cell production is key, and products that boost collagen and cell regeneration, like Elizabeth Grant Skincare Professional Institute Collagen Booster Drops (£48, available online at ElizabethGrantUK), are beneficial here. These Collagen Booster Drops help strengthen and support collagen and elastin, helping to increase the vitality of skin, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and resulting a visibly younger and more hydrated skin. 

'"I love all the products but my favourite has to be the Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-inforce 3D Cleanser. It just quick and easy to use and feels soft and smooth. My face feels great after cleaning with this product, so 10/10 for me" - Deborah St. Louis (Director)

Stage 2: Cell Migration (Keratinization)

During the second phase, skin cells move towards the surface and begin to harden. Keeping the skin hydrated and protected is crucial. The Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-Inforce 3D Advanced Face Lift Day Cream (£56, available online on Debenhams) is formulated with five different types of collagen and Torricelumn™ to help fortify the skin and visibly improve the appearance of skin firmness and facial contours. Day after day, the skin looks firmer and appears more lifted.

Stage 3: Cell Shedding (Exfoliation/Desquamation)

In the last stage of the skin cycle, the dead cells on the surface are naturally shed. This step is essential for revealing fresh, glowing skin. Helping this process with exfoliation ensures dead cells do not linger too long, which can clog pores or cause a rough texture. For this skin cycle step, the Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-inforce 3D Cleanser (£21, available online on Debenhams) helps to fortify the skin's moisture barrier, leaving it feeling stronger and more resilient. This cleanser removes dirt, debris, dead skin cells and makeup and protects the skin from environmental stress that results in accelerated skin ageing.
