ANTI-WRINKLE
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SKIN
Wrinkles and fine lines develop primarily due to a combination of factors, including:
- Reduced Collagen and Elastin –
Collagen and elastin are crucial proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, their production decreases, leading to thinner and less resilient skin. - Oxidative Stress –
Exposure to environmental stressors, such as UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals, accelerates skin aging by damaging cellular structures and DNA, contributing to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. - Glycation –
High sugar intake can lead to glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to proteins like collagen, causing them to become stiff and less functional. This results in the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), contributing to skin aging and wrinkle formation. - Muscle Contractions – Repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, create creases in the skin over time, leading to dynamic wrinkles, particularly in areas of frequent muscle activity.
