NEW MOLECULES IN ANTIAGING CREAMS
When our skin is young and healthy, it has a perfect balance and a perfect turover in its structural elements. The amount of cellular destruction and the rate of cellular renewal are in balance. The barrier function is intact. However, as we age, the balance between the destruction and renewal of the skin's structural elements is disrupted. The barrier function is damaged. Therefore, there is a large amount of water loss from the epidermis, that is, the upper layer of our skin. It has been shown that there is a ceramide deficiency in dry skin, such as in atopic dermatitis. For this reason, in creams applied tropically, formulations containing ceramide are preferred for dry and mature skin. However, in recent studies, another lipid has been identified that plays a more role in aging due to its deficiency: Cholesterol. Formulations containing cholesterol have come to the fore in antiaging effective creams produced in recent years.
What is the correlation between this fat loss in our skin and aging?
There is a chronic condition in mature skin. There is water loss. The protective effect of the oil has decreased. This causes the barrier function to deteriorate, thus not being adequately protected from external factors and irritants. Dry areas with poor barrier function occur on the skin. Thus, the skin's firmness and brightness gradually decrease. Tropical products containing ceramides, cholesterol and omega fatty acids renew the skin's barrier function and therefore its moisture. The skin is better protected from external factors. There are various products, treatments and protocols applied for skin rejuvenation. However, treatments that restructure the skin barrier further increase the success of other treatment protocols. Do not forget to consult your doctor about which products are suitable for you.
