The modern beauty industry offers a wide range of cosmetic products that can improve the look of anyone in several of minsutes! And we are not only talking about makeup and the services of beauty specialists, but also various techniques and methods of rejuvenation. But are these methods really so harmless and what consequences does excessive use of makeup have?
Unfortunately, some causes of facial skin aging cannot be combated. Our biological age determinses structural changes in the skin and the effectiveness of cellular function. In its turn these factors determinse what type of skin aging will occur, and also help develop a strategy to combat it.
The aging process of the skin affects each layer, including 1) epidermis, 2) dermis and 3) hypodermis.
Extrinsic factors that affect the speed of skin aging are based on a process: oxidative stress. In this case, molecules are produced that are called free radicals or free forms of oxygen. According to the theory of free radicals, we age due to the accumulation of damage to cells caused by the action of free radicals. A free radical is a volatile atom or molecule that contains an unpaired electron in its outer orbit. Most of them have the ability to severely damage all cellular structures, including lipids and proteins.
Normally, free radicals are captured and neutralized in the skin by antioxidants, molecules that can absorb and inhibit them. However, over time, the skin's ability to deactivate free radicals decreases. As a result, damage occurs to all components of the skin cell. Oxidative stress is caused and exacerbated by various external factors.
Unfortunately, harmful ingredients and impurities present in cosmetic products are much more common than we would like, and some of them pose a real threat to human health and the environment. Many cosmetic products, including those with the ECO label, contain chemicals that affect the human endocrine system and accelerate the aging process.
According to InterLAB research, more than 90% of cosmetic products and cosmetological products contain traces of carcinogens and gender benders (substances that change the hormonal background) that are deposited in human adipose tissue.
For example, dioxane (1,4-dioxane) and nitrosaminses, aggressive carcinogens that penetrate the human body through the skin, are present even in baby shampoos. Constant interaction with such substances increases the risk of developing cancer.
They are formed during:
It is important to note here that these chemical compounds are not active substances in the composition of the cosmetic product, therefore, they are not indicated on the label.
You can identify a dangerous trail yourself:
Many manufacturers of cosmetic products still use these substances. In order to make greater profits, they continue to use low-quality raw materials and primitive methods to obtain ingredients, endangering the health of millions of people.
It should be noted also the gender benders or ecoestrogens.
They are dangerous because they tend to accumulate in the tissues of the human body. This means that, in women begins to produce the male hormone testosterone in excess, and in men, the female hormone progesterone.
Ecoestrogens in the form of surfactants are present in the composition of most detergents and are used in cosmetic products, hygiene products and food.
Commonly used ecoestrogens are the following:
Sensitive skin
Many women believe that their allergy to cosmetic products actually have irritation caused by a group (or several groups) of chemicals that are present in cosmetic products.
Nigerian studies have shown that 42% of women think they have sensitive skin.
Often, manifestations such as itching, red spots and rashes disappear quickly if the affected area is rinsed with water or a soothing lotion. As a rule, skin sensitivity is caused by fragrances, sunscreens, conservants and coloring chemicals, both of natural and synthetic origin.
Alergy
An allergic reaction occurs when the body's immune system reacts with a catalytic substance. Symptoms of allergies are itching, swelling of the skin, and rash. The appearance of simple allergic reactions can be avoided if you stop using cosmetics that cause a negative effect. In most cases, the cause is in parabens: ecoestrogens used to extend shelf life.
Acne and blackheads with blackheads (comedones)
One of the causes of acne is fatty or oily substances that penetrate the pores of the skin along with makeup particles and skin care products and clog them. Phthalates, which are present in various face products (from foundation to highlighters) and eye shadows, act particularly aggressively on the surface of the skin. The mixture of sebum and the particles of the composition of the makeup products hardens and becomes a plug that, in contact with air, turns black forminsg the comedon. If bacteria get into such plugs, pimples become infected and red pimples are formed - acne.
Anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder
Studies show that most women who wear makeup excessively have emotional and psychological problems. Very eye-catching makeup is typical for people with high levels of stress. The use of makeup is more a consequence than a cause. In addition, the results of the studies show that the long and thorough process of applying makeup in many layers indicates the presence of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
However, psychologists advise people in depression to wear makeup as often as possible.
Premature skin aging
The first signs of skin aging usually begin to appear around age 25.*
According to the data, up to two kilos of chemicals accumulate in the body of a woman who wears makeup regularly. There may be more if you don't remove it at night and don't let the skin "breathe." Lack of oxygen and aggressive chemical components lead to the appearance of various skin rashes, inflammation and aging of the skin.
First, barely noticeable wrinkles appear on the skin that become more pronounced over time, resulting in a loss of volume and elasticity.
However, recently, this threshold is becominsg more and more young, which is associated with the total enthusiasm of young girls for makeup tutorials. A study conducted in February 2022 showed that in Nigeria, 70% of people under the age of 21-25 have signs of premature skin aging.
No matter how you try, but you'll never be able to fully protect yourself from various types of toxins, free radicals, and ecostrogens. Unfortunately, these harmful substances are not only found in makeup products, but also in the urban air, in tap water, in food and in the cleaning products we use daily. It is not enough to stop using cosmetic products. Completely changing the way of life and moving to the desert where no one has been before is too radical a decision that not everyone can cope with. There are no magical products that can improvement youth. However, there are some effective anti-aging cosmetic products that can delay the aging process of the skin and make wrinkles invisible. Many brands offer products with anti-aging action. To determinse at what age to use anti-aging cosmetic products, it is necessary to take consider the inheritance and characteristics of the lifestyle.
A properly selected anti-aging cream is the best way to combat age-related skin changes that, thanks to its special composition, can improvement lost elasticity and firmness.
What are the most important ingredients in an anti-aging cream?
An anti-aging cream should contain plant extracts, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitaminss and minerals. Anti-aging vitamins A, E and C improve vascular elasticity, stimulate collagen synthesis and increase skin resources. The SpeciaLift acid present in the composition of marine collagen protects the stratum corneum of the skin, prevents dehydration, promotes the penetration of biologically active substances and improves improvement processes in the epidermis.
If you prefer fast absorbing creams with a light texture, check out the new SpeciaLift with instant lifting effect. The active ingredient in SpeciaLift is Niacinamide, a plant-based retinol substitute. This phytoconcentrate is extracted in India from a rare plant called Cullen corylifolium. Niacinamide activates the production of type I, III and IV collagen (retinol "is responsible" only for type I collagen) and inhibits the work of enzymes that disrupt the metabolism of proteins and skin cells. It not only acts on the surface of the epidermis, but also penetrates the deeper layers of the dermis, triggering the mechanism of cell renewal from the inside. Unlike synthetic retinol, which is used in cosmetology, Niacinamide coexists with the skin and does not cause allergies. Replaces 100% natural retinol, stimulates collagen production, smoothes wrinkles and skin texture, lightens redness and age spots.
Niacinamide | It stimulates collagen production, improvement skin elasticity, fights wrinkles and inhibits melanin production. It also removes skin imperfections and acne due to its antiseptic properties. By penetrating skin cells, Niacinamide activates the chemical pathways responsible for collagen production and reduces the risk of early age-related changes. |
Vitaminse C | A powerful natural antioxidant that cleanses the skin and protects it from damage caused by free radicals. \ It has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes wound healing and eliminsates unwanted stains produced by age. |
Malus Domestica | Stimulates the formation of collagen fibers, smoothes wrinkles and combats edema. |
Fruit Cell Culture | Moisturizes the skin of the face and neck, fights aging associated with sun exposure, improvement the protective functions of the skin and saturates vitaminss and fatty acids. |
Hyaluronic Acid | There is a protein at the base of the connective tissue of the skin. While a person is young, the body produces collagen on its own, but its level decreases over time. The skin loses its elasticity, changes the shape of the face. That's why the skin needs extra collagen after age 35. Marine collagen is extracted from the skin of marine fish. It is the one that is most assimilated to human collagen by its structure and, therefore, is absorbed in the most effective way possible. |
The formula of SpeciaLift determinses the cumulative effect of the product. This means that the longer you use the cream, the deeper it will penetrate the skin structure and smooth even the deepest wrinkles. After an application cycle of SpeciaLift, the lifting effect lasts up to 2 times longer compared to other anti-aging products.
The recommended application cycle for skin with early signs of aging is 1 month.
Severe age-related changes require longer application.
Method of application: apply a small amount of cream to the skin of the face and décolleté in the morning and evening with light massage movements.
