Two more terms are used to further distinguish clients across the post-adolescent age span: chronological age versus functional age. Chronological age is the actual number of years of life, and functional age is the state of being along an age-time scale, but measured in terms of physiological vitality. We tend to estimate a person's actual (chronological) age based on esthetics. But, it is functional age that impresses us. Unfortunately, we often deny clients the benefit of their good functional age, because they look older than their actual age.
The major causes of aging are pretty simple to determine and avoid. They include sun exposure, environmental toxicity and alcoholism. We live under sunlight. We breathe carbon monoxide and ethanol daily. Although sunscreens can help us, they are not used religiously. Cigarette smoke plagues us and many of us overindulge with alcohol or even suffer from alcoholism. These elements affect us because of de choices we make. The obvious remedy is to just say "no"! Avoid them to stave off aging.
None of us are saints -we can't always avoid the sun, or environmental factors, or even the occasional drink- therefore it is necessary to find other solutions such as therapeutic remedies to help stop progressive and rapid skin damage. One such way would be to use the body's own circulation modalities, methods that will improve oxygen-dependent esthetics.
