Oxidative stress: let's put an end to this ageing phenomenon!
The term "Stress" generally refers to a psychological disorder triggered by an upcoming situation or event. However, be careful; in the case of "oxidative stress," it refers to an entirely different matter! This occurs as a result of an imbalance within the body. The outcome: a premature acceleration of skin ageing makes its appearance.
What is oxidative stress?
"Oxidative stress," also known as "oxidant stress," is quite different from what we call "stress" in everyday life. It does not pertain to anxieties in the true sense but is a genuine imbalance that takes place inside our body impacting the skin. Indeed, oxygen allows for the creation of free radicals. In normal amounts, these help cells defend against various attacks. However, when they become too numerous, free radicals are responsible for excessive oxidation of the cells. This is what we refer to as oxidative stress.
Several factors promote the excessive production of free radicals, such as pollution, sun exposure, or tobacco use. In large quantities, free radicals lead to the onset of oxidative stress, which is responsible, among other things, for the ageing of the body. This results in premature degeneration of cells, particularly in the skin.
How can we combat the excess of free radicals?
To defend themselves, cells will require a greater amount of antioxidants. These are present in the diet in the form of vitamins E, C, and A. Maintaining a good lifestyle remains the key point in combating oxidative stress and keeping the skin healthy and supple. Alcohol, tobacco, pollution, sun exposure, psychological stress, and hormonal changes contribute to speeding up skin ageing.
Several clever tips will help you maintain a fresh and pleasant complexion. Natural dietary supplements can kickstart production after the age of thirty. Cosmological serums Universkin tailored to each skin type will enhance the skin's function. These anti-ageing serums will target skin inflammation, a major cause of skin ageing. Customised serums can repair and prevent dysfunctions unique to each individual.
And what about the Skinbooster treatment?
The Skinbooster treatment will be beneficial for its antioxidant and hydrating properties. It helps delay the appearance of the first wrinkles, gives a radiant complexion, increases the tone and elasticity of the skin, and reduces the "wrinkled" appearance of certain mature skins. It will be ideal for sagging or dehydrated skin.
This treatment will deeply hydrate the skin, reactivate hyaluronic acid production, and work on tightening the skin without altering the volume of the face. It is mainly performed on the cheeks, décolletage, back, and hands. After two or three sessions, the skin feels softer and more supple thanks to the hydrating action of the product. Facial features appear brighter and less pronounced. Blood vessels are less visible on the hands, and horizontal wrinkles are diminished on the neck.
Note that this treatment is recommended at any age for those who smoke, are prone to stress, are regularly exposed to the sun, or do not take care of their skin!
