How To Prevent Premature Aging Of The Skin.
Have you ever asked yourself why slices of apple quickly turn rust colored? This is what we call oxidation, which is a process that all living cells must go through. Our cells are made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms. These little ones form chemical bonds that connect to each other. When a stable bond is attacked by an enzyme the bond can become unstable and break apart.
Oxidation processes occur all the time in our body, where compounds are detached from each other, forming other compounds and energy. But in the formation of new compounds there’s also the formation of molecules that can damage our cells. Oxidation processes lead to the formation of very reactive species that are called free radicals which have the ability to oxidize every cell in our body. Molecules must have pair electrons to be stable; however free radicals have just one electron so they desperately look for the other pair. Therefore, free radicals begin to ’steal’ electrons from other molecules, turning these last ones into free radicals. This is what we call oxidative stress (damage) that can lead to series of ailments that range from premature aging skin to cancer. Our cells are affected by oxidative stress, especially nowadays when environmental conditions are playing against them all the time.
Biological products have antioxidants. Our body can be protected by these substances. Antioxidants can donate an electron and still keep their stability. Examples that induce oxidative stress are pollution and sun exposure. For example, UV rays penetrate our skin and produce free radicals, this production will be reflected in a premature aging skin.
Nature’s Way to Halt The Oxidation Process
Biological balms have natural ingredients (antioxidants) that can help prevent this damage. In addition, these balms have hyaluronic acid, a compound that some people call ‘the key of the fountain of youth’ because at cellular level has the function of lubricate and give volume to the skin, giving it a younger look. Glycoconjugates, also included in these balms, such as glycoproteins and glycopeptides play the role of cellular recognition. The role that glycoconjugates play is very important because antioxidants are unable to do cellular recognition. In addition, glycoconjugates have the ability to ‘tell’ the cells to behave better, so they don’t let pathogens penetrate membranes.
Now we have the following scenario: every time we go outside we get exposed to UV radiation (or pollution) that can affect our skin. With the environmental conditions we have nowadays, we will need something better than sunscreens to protect our skin. Now we’re caught needing a product that will not only protect our skin but also try to fix it. So, is there any solution? With all that we have learned, we can try a mixture of natural ingredients that we are not able to find in common products. The good news is that the answer is found in natural products. The natural balance contained in Natural Skin Products favors our body. If you think about it, all ancient civilizations had their hopes in Mother Nature because she has the wisdom to give us a better lifestyle and a good recovery of our aliments.
