Sugar skin – how to deal with glycation
Recall the three main factors of skin aging:
  1. Time (chrono-aging);
  2. Ultraviolet (photo-aging);
  3. Oxidative aging (free radicals).
The skin ages. And this is a fact. And none of us is bypassed by this side.
This is how honey is candied. Time passes and instead of a viscous, elastic substance, honey turns into crumbling lumps of candied mass. So honey is our collagen, in the process of glycation, it loses elasticity and can no longer provide skin elasticity.
Glycation products stay with us forever, accumulate and disrupt metabolic processes in cells, the cell suffocates and dies.
We don't notice it until we're 30. But as soon as collagen production is reduced in the body, the effect of sugar becomes fatal for the skin.
We will not be able to avoid the glycation of collagen – this, unfortunately, is a natural process.
But we can reduce the effect of sugar on skin cells.
And only in recent years, scientists have started talking about the influence of sugar on the processes in the skin – these are the processes of glycation or glycosylating (sugar aging).
We cannot influence the time, but photoaging, free radicals, and cell glycation are influenced.
We talk about skin protection from the sun and antioxidants all the time. Today we are talking about sugar.
Skin glycation is the interaction of sugars with proteins: simple sugars coming from the blood "sit down" on protein molecules (here we are talking, first of all, about collagen – the protein of youth) "gluing" them. As a result, glycation products, or AGEs (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) are formed.
How to resist glycation?
No fast carbohydrates and refined foods (fast food, store-bought sauces there). Especially avoid
the combination of sugar, protein, and fat when cooking.
Add to the diet:
Turmeric (we recommend organic with Iherb), ginger, rosemary;
Pomegranates and pomegranate juice;
Coenzyme Q10;
Vitamins B;
Broccoli;
Green tea;
Nature's Way Rosemary with iherd (contraindicated during pregnancy!);
Ayurvedic detox complex Triphala -glycation remedy with hebula extract.
Fewer calories and more physical activity.
Loads help the muscles to utilize glucose, improve metabolism and reduce blood sugar.
Anti-glycation nutrition.
More and more brands are paying attention to glycation. One of the most accessible assets is
niacinamide. Less often, it is possible to find in the compositions of acebia pyaterna extract or
enzymes of black tea and kombucha – effective anti-glycation assets.
4% niacinamide and akebia extract contain Starter-Mist, a multitasking spray for the skin of the
face. This is a tonic, essence, liquid serum, and makeup fixative in one bottle. Low-molecular
hyaluronic acid in the composition of mist promotes the production of new collagen, and this is
an additional factor in the successful fight against "sugar" skin.
And the enzymes of kombucha and black tea are the active components of the Collagen+ anti-
glycation moisturizer. The cream provides comprehensive support to the collagen framework of
the skin: it stimulates the production of its own collagen and successfully fights the glycation of
collagen fibers. The result is young and elastic skin for many years.
