Have you ever noticed how a blemish can improve by the hour? Over time, it starts to look lighter and flatter, until it eventually disappears completely\u2014almost like magic. Except, there\u2019s nothing magical about it. Instead, skin cell turnover is the reason blemishes eventually vanish. If you\u2019re into skincare, you\u2019ve probably heard this term before. In some ways, it\u2019s the holy grail of the skin health world. So how does cell turnover work, why is it important, and what can you do to ensure your skin is doing it well? Answers, ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Skin Cell Turnover?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Skin cell turnover is the shedding of dry dead skin cells from the uppermost and outermost layer of our skin, known as the stratum corneum,\u201d explains Vanessa Coppola<\/a>, FNP-BC, a board-certified nurse practitioner and aesthetic specialist. Those dead skin cells are then replaced by healthy new cells, she adds, giving you that fresh-faced look.<\/p>\n\n\n

The fact that our bodies do this is actually pretty amazing. \u201cThe skin is the body’s largest protective organ, so the body is constantly in the process of repairing it,\u201d Coppola says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

As for how quickly it happens, the turnover process happens at different rates on different parts of our body, notes Alexander Zuriarrain<\/a>, MD, FACS, a double board-certified plastic surgeon. \u201cFor your face, it takes approximately between 40 to 56 days for the cells to replicate. The cell turnover for the body is between 28 to 40 days. In general, the human body is producing 3.8 million cells every second.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Else Impacts Skin Renewal Rate?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

Lots of different factors can affect how quickly our skin regenerates, according to Zuriarrain. Some of the big ones include our general health, level of hydration, and age. That last one is a big one: \u201cAs we age, the cell turnover rate lengthens. For example, at age 18 the cell turnover rate is 14 to 21 days while at the age of 50 years old, it can take up to 60 to 90 days,\u201d Zuriarrain says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Skin<\/figure>\n\n\n

While you can\u2019t fight the natural aging process, lifestyle is a really important factor here, says Natalie Aguilar<\/a>, a dermatological nurse and licensed aesthetician. \u201cInflammation, stress, and diet play vital roles,\u201d she says. \u201cWe can\u2019t produce healthy cells to replace dying cells if we don\u2019t have a healthy diet or lifestyle.\u201d (HUM dietitian Jessica Bippen, RD even created this 5-day meal plan for skin repair and cell renewal<\/a> to help you get started!)<\/p>\n\n\n

What Does An Increased Cell Turnover Rate Mean for Your Skin Health?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Glowing<\/figure>\n\n\n

There\u2019s a reason so many skincare products and treatments promise faster cell turnover and skin renewal. \u201cIncreasing the rate of our cellular turnover can help promote a brighter and more youthful complexion,\u201d Coppola says. Aside from those two benefits, increasing your skin cell turnover rate can also help with acne and aging concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Acne<\/a> is often caused by a combination of factors, especially clogged follicles, Coppola says. Follicles get plugged up by an accumulation of cellular debris, aka dead skin cells and sebum, she explains. \u201cSpeeding up this process of cellular turnover can reduce the accumulation of dead skin cells and lead to clearer skin and a more even-toned complexion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

In terms of age-related skin changes, cell turnover matters because it has a significant influence on the aging process, Zuriarrain notes. \u201cThe faster the cell turnover rate, the more youthful the appearance of the skin.\u201d In particular, a faster turnover rate means your skin may respond better to sun damage<\/a> by replicating cells more efficiently and quickly. \u201cThis can replace damaged cells with new cells and avoid further aging,\u201d he adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Truth be told, all skin concerns are improved by speeding and improving the quality of our skin cell turnover, Aguilar says. \u201cWrinkles, dry patches<\/a>, pigmentation, acne, dullness, and injuries all brighten up and become smoother as the cells are replaced by healthier ones.\u201d (Yes, you can manage acne scarring, razor nicks, and fine lines all by improving skin cell turnover!)<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Increase Skin Cell Turnover Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n

If better skin is on your mind, there are many ways to increase your skin cell turnover rate, experts say.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Exfoliation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Exfoliation<\/figure>\n\n\n

\u201cExfoliation is key to helping improve the regenerative cycle of cellular renewal,\u201d Coppola notes. That\u2019s because it essentially speeds up the process of removing dead skin cells. There are two types of exfoliation: physical and chemical exfoliation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Physical exfoliation usually happens in the form of a scrub or dry brushing<\/a>, but it\u2019s really important to choose the right exfoliant so that you don\u2019t injure your skin, Coppola says. \u201cYou want to select a scrub that is very finely milled so that it will get the job done without causing trauma to the skin.\u201d Likewise, if you\u2019re using a dry brush, save it for your body, not face, and go easy. Be especially careful with things like dermaplaning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Microdermabrasion<\/a> is also an option for physical exfoliation. \u201cMicrodermabrasion is a controlled treatment that delivers a precise and uniform exfoliation,\u201d Aguilar says. It\u2019s usually done every 4-6 weeks, and you\u2019ll want to visit a licensed aesthetician or physician to have it done.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chemical exfoliation means using skincare ingredients that speed up the process of removing dead skin cells. Some of the best ingredients for this are beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) and alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid, lactic acid<\/a>, ascorbic acid). \u201cThese acids work to break the bonds between cells, causing them to shed faster and in a more uniform fashion,\u201d Coppola notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

A combination of the two methods may be best, but keep in mind that it\u2019s is possible to exfoliate too much<\/a>, so it shouldn\u2019t be your only method to speed up skin cell turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n

Retinoids and retinol\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

Made up of vitamin A, retinoids and retinol<\/a> are powerhouse ingredients. \u201cRetinoids penetrate deep enough to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers,\u201d Aguilar explains. Retinoids also increase the rate at which your body produces new skin cells, resulting in a faster skin cell turnover process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

You can get some retinoids over the counter, but products like Retin-A (tretinoin) and Accutane (isotretinoin) are only available by prescription. Tretinoin is usually used to avoid fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation\u2014all of which can happen with age, Zuriarrain says, while isotretinoin is generally used to treat acne.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Hydration and exercise\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

According to Zuriarrain, adequate hydration<\/a> and exercise improve vascular blood flow, which can help decrease the signs of aging by boosting turnover. So hitting the gym (or the trails) on a regular basis and keeping a water bottle handy can make a difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Get your beauty sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n

Turns out “beauty sleep” isn’t just an adage. You’ve likely heard that your body repairs and recovers while you sleep<\/a>, but the same is true for your skin. Skin cell renewal is at a peak between approximately 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., as we’ve previously covered<\/a>, due to a natural rise in levels of human growth hormone (HGH). Skin cells can actually double during this time, making it even more important to get your zZz if you’re going for glow.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nutrition and supplements\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Supplements<\/figure>\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of research recently into the microbiome of the skin<\/a> and the connection between digestive health and skin health<\/a>,\u201d Coppola notes. \u201cAlthough no definitive evidence has been generated yet, some studies indicate a possible link between maintaining a healthy gut environment, such as with the use of probiotics<\/a>, and the health of our skin and cellular turnover.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEssential fatty acids, vitamin c, glutathione, and zinc<\/a> are wonderful supplements<\/a> that aid in the way our skin repairs itself from the inside out,\u201d Aguilar says. Antioxidants like ferulic acid<\/a> and CoQ10<\/a>\u2014found in HUM\u2019s Mighty Night<\/a> supplement\u2014can also help support skin cell turnover.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Lastly, a healthy diet is the foundation of healthy skin. So it makes sense that good nutrition can help improve skin cell turnover, even if indirectly. \u201cWe want our new cells to be as healthy as possible,\u201d Aguilar says. \u201cLiving a healthy lifestyle, sleeping adequate hours, eating healthier foods, and managing stress are all vital to a healthy physical canvas.\u201d Not only will it help you look good, but it\u2019ll also help you feel<\/em> good.<\/p>\n\n\n
