Fine Lines / Wrinkles - fine
lines and wrinkles are the manifestation of the breakdown in collagen
and elastin, made worse by thinning skin caused by a reduction in
antioxidant and nutrient levels. Skin aging occurs through 2
biologically distinct processes: intrinsic and extrinsic aging.
Intrinsic aging is chronological aging, a naturally occurring process
that results from slow tissue degeneration. Intrinsic aging causes a
loss of collagen, elastin and hydration in the skin. Extrinsic aging is
due to environmental factors such as products, ingredients and
stressors that cause inflammation and free radical production.
The focus for this skin condition is
stimulating healthy collagen, maintaining proper moisture levels and
providing high levels of skin nutrients in order to repair and cellular
damage. |
