Skin Aging
•The process of getting older outwardly can be seen before any organ of the body. Changes are visible to us and to those around us and growing old cannot be hidden unlike many other medical issues.
•The natural changes associated with skin aging can be seen undesirable or even unhealthy. The anti-aging market continues to grow often in response to exactly these kinds of concerns.
The Science behind Skin Aging
•The skin itself becomes increasingly thin over time due to steady reduction in collagen, collagen production in the skin falls by 1 percent each year after the age of twenty. Cells turn over less quickly and wound healing is relatively impaired.
•Skin starts to sag as it loses its support and textural changes appear. Aging also affects the skin’s immune response and certain skin cancers become more common as we get older. Frightening, some of these changes can set in as early as your late twenties and early thirties.
What causes Skin Aging
•Skin aging occurs for a variety of reasons, some of these are under our control while others are not. Our DNA is tightly packaged into thread like structures called chromosomes. This process has been linked to skin aging as well as certain human diseases. If your parents aged well the chances are good that you will also.
•However, UV light from the sun causes direct cell injury and DNA damage. These break down collagen and damage the skin’s support structure, making it sag or deepening wrinkles. Hormonal changes particularly in women are also thought to contribute to intrinsic skin aging.

My Story
I woke up one morning and asked myself. What am I passionate about that I can turn into a career? Then I went to wash my face and had a lightbulb moment…
It’s Skincare!
My Inspiration
The name Cara was inspired by my lovely grandmother Queta. Growing up she always told me to take care of my face. She would say “no dejes que nadie toque tu cara.” and “lavate la cara.” Also showed me some regimens, that I feel blessed to carry on with her skincare guidance today.
