Scientific studies reveal that sugar intake does not only impact overall health — it directly contributes to skin aging. The glycation process, in which excess glucose binds to collagen and elastin, leads to the formation of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products). These compounds cause dermal stiffness, inflammation, and visible premature aging. In recent years, both […]
Wrinkles are visible signs of skin aging that result from both intrinsic factors (natural aging) and extrinsic factors (primarily UV exposure). Intrinsically, as we age, fibroblast activity declines, leading to reduced synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—key components responsible for skin firmness and hydration. The dermoepidermal junction flattens, and the extracellular matrix becomes disorganized, […]
Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by intrinsic (chronological) and extrinsic (environmental) factors. Intrinsic aging is genetically programmed and characterized by a gradual decline in cellular activity, reduced turnover of keratinocytes, and fibroblast dysfunction. This leads to decreased production of structural proteins such as collagen type I and III, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. […]
