Anti Aging Skin Care - Wrinkles & Age Spots - Anti Inflammaging
Research about aging identifies two different types of ageing of cells. One type called internal aging which is caused by genes we inherit, and the other type is external ageing which is usually caused by environmental factors such as oxidation, UV rays, and gravity.
The ongoing aging process usually begins in your mid 20’s. Within your skin collagen production begins to slow and elastin cells, the fibers that enable skin to snap back into place lose their firmness. Dead skin cells don’t shed as quickly and the turnover of new skin cells decrease. While these changes usually begin in your 20’s the direct visible signs of aging don’t appear until decades later. Signs of ageing include: fine wrinkles, thin and transparent skin, loss of underlying fat leading to hollowed checks and eye sockets, and dry skin that may itch. Those are all signs of aging skin.
Our inherited genes play a part in controlling how your aging process occurs. Some people may begin to notice wrinkles and aged skin in their early 20’s where as others not until their late 50’s. But a lot of the aging conditions can be contributed by many other factors.
Many issues can lead to the external aging process such as environmental factors. Most premature aged skin is caused by over sun exposure. Other damaging factors can be smoking, gravity, or sleeping in bad positions such as on your stomach.
Being under the sun’s harmful rays without SPF protection even for just a few minutes a day can cause noticeable alterations to your skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins on your face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles, loose skin, blotchy complexion, and keratoses which are wart like red patches. More severe sun exposure and sun burns can cause skin cancer.
Another term used by dermatologist to define aging skin is photo-damage, which is caused by excess sun exposure. The amount of photo age damage will depend on your skin color and your history of sun exposure, as in severe burns. People with fair skin complexions are at a higher risk of developing photo-aging then people with darker skin tones. In darker skin tones photo-aging shows up usually just as fine wrinkles and a mottled complexion.
It takes years for photo-aging to show on your skin. Your skin begins to lose the ability to repair the accumulated damage from repeated sun over exposure. Studies have shown that repeated UV exposure breaks down collagen and impairs the synthesis of new collagen. The sun also attacks your elastin. Sun damaged skin begins to lose its elastic ability to spring back much earlier than skin protected from UV rays. Skin also becomes loose, wrinkled and leathery much earlier with unprotected exposure to sunlight.
What can we do? One solution lies in a substance produced by a little creature, living with most of his body exposed nude to the sun rays, and having the ability to secrete a bubbling substance to protect itself from the damaging UV radiation and from free radicals, the oxygen molecules that react with tissues and slowly undermine their ability to regenerate.
This is the garden snail of the species Helix Aspersa Müller, which secretes a mucin that it uses to repair and restore its damaged skin and shell. Careful analysis of the mucin secreted by the snail has shown that it contains the necessary biological activators that enhance your skin’s growth factors which in turn regenerate the elastin and collagen fibers, making skin look healthy again.
The secretion also triggers the production of glycosaminoglycans, which are the molecules within your skin that are responsible for holding in water, and thus your skin remains truly moisturized.
The substance is the result of evolution's beautiful system of trial and error working over millions of years to create a biological solution for a harmless little creature that is exposed nude to sun radiation and to attacks by microorganisms, injures and skin conditions not unlike those that disturb adults and haunts them when it leaves behind wrinkles and solar keratosis scales.
Human skin and snail skin are very similar, as they are both made of the same structural elements such as collagen and elastin and similar skin matrix components that have an important role in intercellular communication and regulation of healthy skin renewal.
Intercellular communicating molecules interact with your skin creating pathways that essentially allow these substances to tell cells to function properly, in coordinated balance. That is, they instruct the cell to repair itself and act normally, and more youthfully, by reducing inflammation, encouraging production of healthy skin substances, inhibiting substances that cause collagen to break down, and much more.
Intercellular substances, which are often referred to as "ingredients that mimic skin structure," should be the backbone of every moisturizer. Intercellular substances are those ingredients that exist naturally in skin, and that work to hold skin cells together and renew skin properly in an orchestrated beautiful way. A dry environment, sun damage, irritation, inflammation, and age can all greatly reduce the presence of these substances in skin. Adding these substances to a moisturizer helps keep the layers of skin whole, resilient, and in good physical shape and enable your skin to protect and defend itself against excess sun exposure, pollution and environmental hazards.
The snail substance is collected, without doing any harm to the little creatures, for use as the main natural biological ingredient in the moisturizing skin care cream we offer by the brand name BIOSKINCARE.
The cream embodies nature’s way of achieving healthy youthful skin. Not only is it an all natural product, but it also mimics your cellular make up to give you the best results and wrinkle free skin. Use BIOSKINCARE cream twice a day, morning and night to rejuvenate your skin in the most natural way possible and use as well an SPF 25 lotion to keep you protected from harmful UV rays.
