Linda Replies: Skin ages as it is exposed to sunlight and UV rays which cause free radicals and oxidation. This is why modern dermatology advises against excessive exposure. Some damaged skin cells are normally shed as a continual function of the body. New skin cells surface within two weeks and dead cells are shed. This shedding process slows down after age 30. Cells build up on the skin's surface, making the skin thick, dull, less elastic, and discolored. This buildup of cells also traps impurities making the skin bumpy.

Second proper moisturizing with Revive can protect and revitalize skin. Finally, aging and sun damaged face and hands can be improved by using a skin shedding agents such as Wrinkle-Lite or Remove.
