Skin health reflects inner balance. Just like the body, the skin follows a natural rhythm of renewal known as skin metabolism.

Understanding Skin Metabolism

The skin renews itself through the division of basal cells. New cells are formed in the basal layer, gradually moving upward through the spinous layer to the stratum corneum. Over time, they become aged keratin and hed naturally.This renewal cycle takes approximately 21 to 28 days, commonly referred to as the skin’s metabolic cycle.

When Metabolism Is Balanced

When metabolism functions normally, bodily systems operate efficiently. The skin appears soft, smooth and refined, with improved clarity and texture.

Metabolism refers to the complete process of cells growing, ageing, shedding and renewing. While genetics and age play a role, lifestyle habits have a significant influence.

What Slows Skin Metabolism

As we age, irregular diet and lifestyle habits can gradually slow down metabolism, making the skin more prone to the following conditions. If your skin shows any of the issues below, it may be a sign that metabolism has slowed. 

• Dryness and rough texture

• Dullness and pigmentation

• Frequent breakouts and congestion

• Blackheads and clogged pores

• Absorption gradually slows down

  
  

Supporting Healthy Skin Renewal

While body constitution and genetics influence metabolic speed, most people can improve skin metabolism through consistent care and professional support.

All skin types benefit from:

• Removing excess oil and surface impurities

• Encouraging the shedding of aged keratin

• Deep cleansing of pores

This process is known as exfoliation, a key step in restoring healthy skin rhythm.
