Deep dives

Understanding Inflammation in Skincare

Inflammation plays a critical role in the aging process, referred to as 'inflammaging,' which combines anti-inflammatory and anti-aging concepts. This approach targets the root causes of skin aging instead of merely addressing visible signs like fine lines and wrinkles. By looking at underlying inflammation, skincare can take a more preventative approach, aiming to control issues before they manifest externally. This holistic view stands in contrast to traditional anti-aging methods, which often focus only on improving surface appearance over time.
