Dermatoporosis: Will Your Skin Survive the Passing of the Years?
Everyone knows that as we get age we are at risk of developing a condition called osteoporosis that causes our bones to get brittle and break. However, not many know that your skin may suffer from a similar problem: dermatoporosis. Dermatologists are calling this condition a real problem.
Dermatoporosis
It may sound scary, and it is, but the good news is that there is a lot you can do to help your skin transition from one decade to another and the sooner you begin, the better your skin will fare. It is characterized by many features. If you haven’t been executing a skin care regimen that helps to build a strong barrier function, there is no time like the present to start. This is because of many of the later- in-life problems actually begin in your 30’s and 40’s. There is a very gradual thinning of the skin and as this process progresses, skin becomes more fragile and vulnerable to insults that might not have bothered it earlier.
Bruising becomes a bigger issue as skin becomes thinner. While there are other factors that contribute to easy bruisings such as sun damage and medications that thin the blood, building a stronger barrier can help. The use of bruise products such as DerMend® Moisturizing Bruise Formula may help thinning or fragile skin withstand daily bumps and bruises.
DerMend® Moisturizing Bruise Formula
A dermatologist-recommended cream that is clinically proven to help improve the appearance of bruised skin. The formula’s targeted ingredients such as ceramides, Retinol, Arnica Oil and Glycolic Acid, work together to rejuvenate and help restore the skin’s natural barrier. So, if you’re in your 30’s and already puzzled by black and blues that seem to come out of nowhere, you need to prepare for the future.
No one has the same skin. Some genetic factors may make your skin more thin and vulnerable. For those of us who love the Vitamin D in the summer, your skin may also be more prone to developing signs of dermatoporosis.
So, what’s the takeaway? Start building your skin barrier as early as you can and make it a priority. As people with the early signs of osteoporosis know, early intervention is crucial. Speak with a dermatologist to learn how to get your skin on the right track because tomorrow is always right around the corner……and you don’t want to “bump” into it.
DerMend® Moisturizing Bruise Formula ($29.99) is available at CVS, Walgreens and WalMart stores or online at LovelySkin.com. For optimum results, apply twice daily to areas prone to bruising.

How to Keep Oily Skin from Causing Breakouts
Oils produced by the body help keep skin healthy, but there can be too much of a good thing. Excess oil can lead to blemishes and acne flare-ups. Dr. Jennifer Linder, Chief Scientific Officer for PCA SKIN provided some interesting insight for those of us that struggle with oily skin, along with why excess oils lead to breakouts and what we can do to keep it in check!“Oily skin tends to be a “sluggish” skin condition, meaning it does not effectively shed dead surface cells as easily as normal skin due to the increased oil production acting almost as the glue holding the dead cells together. It is important to add in an exfoliating treatment on a weekly basis that also assists in purifying the pores. PCA SKIN’s Purifying Mask is a clay-based mask with micro-fine pumice that draws out impurities, helps to minimize oil production while also providing gentle exfoliation. Nighttime products containing pure retinol are also a fantastic way to regulate cellular turnover and oil production. I highly recommend PCA SKIN’s Intensive Clarity Treatment at night to increase cellular turnover while regulating oil production.”
