Deep dives
Understanding Skin Aging Factors and Peptide Discovery
Primary preventable factors contributing to skin aging include UV damage, with sunscreen being a key preventive measure. Aging involves cell damage accumulation, including senescent cells causing inflammation and skin aging. Dr. Race discovered a peptide, OS1, targeting senescent cells to enhance skin health by reducing damaged cells.
Importance of Sunscreen and Peptide Benefits
Sunscreen is crucial to prevent primary skin aging factors like UV exposure. The peptide OS1 helps reduce senescent cells in skin, allowing healthy cell replication and collagen production for improved skin barrier. Specific peptides, like OS1, hold potential for skin rejuvenation and longevity research.
Skincare Routine and Hyaluronic Acid Function
Maintaining optimal skin health involves basic steps like cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen application. Peptides, such as OS1, in moisturizers help repair skin damage and improve skin barrier function. Hyaluronic acid retains water for skin plumpness and hydration, essential for healthy skin longevity.
Impact of Toxic Ingredients on Skin Health
Using products filled with toxic ingredients can have long-term detrimental effects on the skin, leading to issues like acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. These toxic ingredients can disrupt hormones, cause skin sensitization, weaken the skin barrier, and increase inflammation. Strengthening the skin barrier and avoiding harsh ingredients are crucial steps in combating the negative impacts of such products on skin health.
Importance of Nutrition for Healthy Skin
Nutrition plays a vital role in supporting skin health, with a balanced diet providing essential nutrients and antioxidants required for maintaining healthy skin. Consuming collagen and omega-3 fatty acids can aid in collagen production and reduce inflammation, respectively. Additionally, avoiding excessive sugar intake is crucial as it can lead to collagen cross-linking, resulting in loss of elasticity and skin plumpness.
