Skin Excellence No Matter What Your Age


If you're the kind of person that believes a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, you may have wondered what steps can be taken to keep skin aging at bay. One clever tip is to reduce your sugar intake.
Sugar consumption over time can lead to a process called glycation, this occurs when a protein molecule becomes damaged by a glucose molecule becoming attached to it. From this, new molecules are formed and commonly known as an Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs for short). What can you expect from fully developed AGEs then? The answer is damage to ligament, cartilage and a general loss in elasticity within the skin. Wrinkles follow, and you can inevitably enjoy more sagging than a hot wax candle. The remedy is of course to reduce your sugar intake, but if you try to do this at once you may find it difficult to achieve. We suggest making it easier on yourself by taking a series of small steps over time, the easiest being reducing the amount of sugar in tea and coffee (it all adds up) drunk throughout the day. If you are busy at work and are reliant on vending machines, one idea is to avoid the vending machine sugar and take your own (preferably in sachets for convenience), slowly reducing your consumption a bit at a time. In no time at all you could have significantly reduced your sugar intake, meaning you can be safe in the knowledge that you have taken yet another step toward slowing the aging process of your skin.If you'd like to know more about skin aging, pop over to the Dailygrooming site and check out our Dermalogica Products for Prematurely Aging Skin page.
