SKIN fight the good fight BEING VIGILANT ABOUT COMBATING FREE RADICAL DAMAGE IS ESSENTIAL TO DECREASING OXIDATIVE STRESS AND PREMATURE AGEING OF THE SKIN. The terms ‘free radicals’ and ‘antioxidants’ have become commonplace, especially with regards to our health and our skin. But what exactly do these terms mean? Why are oxidation and free radicals harmful to our skin and how can using advanced cosmetic products containing antioxidants neutralise this damage and protect the skin against premature and accelerated ageing? Oxidation is a natural process, which takes place all the time in nature. Yes, oxygen is necessary for life and is required by every living cell in order to produce energy and build
proteins. On the other hand, the very same oxygen causes destruction and disintegration, and as a result, the ageing and death of the cells. A major process of skin ageing, oxidative stress damages both the skin’s epidermal and dermal cells and contributes to their degeneration. The consequences of skin ageing are visible, even from a young age, and include dark spots, wrinkles, signs of flaccidity, dull skin and dehydration. Our environment, pollution, solar radiation and cigarette smoke all contribute to the oxidative process and generate free radicals, which are unstable atoms that can be destructive with varying degrees of severity. Proteins such as collagen and elastin, cellular membrane lipids and DNA can be damaged causing disorders that can range from premature ageing to cancer. Enter anti-oxidants. These compounds are chemicals that lessen or prevent the effects of free radicals. They donate an electron to free radicals, thereby reducing their reactivity. What makes antioxidants unique is they can donate an electron without becoming free radicals themselves. LIMIT YOUR SCREEN TIME TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN High Energy Visible Light (HEV) is the official name for the blue glare that comes from phones, laptops and tablets. Emerging data indicates that prolonged exposure to blue light can accelerate the visible ageing process. HEV Light makes up the blue portion of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum and is a natural part of sunlight. Unlike UVA and UVB light, blue light is not linked to skin cancer, but it does share UV’s potential for accelerating free radical damage. When exposed to free radicals, the proteins which support the skin’s strength and elasticity, collagen and elastin, grow weak, which in turn gives fine lines and wrinkles a chance to take hold. Continuous exposure to HEV Light also impairs the skin’s protective barrier function, a situation that can result in inflammation and hyperpigmentation. Since blue light penetrates deep into the skin, sunscreen will not keep it from damaging the complexion. With this in mind, products like mesoestetic’s aox ferulic are an invaluable defence due to their antioxidant ingredients, which help shield the complexion from environmental nasties and limit the extent to which blue light can penetrate the skin. www.cosbeauty.com.au 45
