What is glycation and how does it affect skin?

Glycation is a natural physiological process that initiates around the age of twenty and is an intrinsic part of the ageing journey. This intricate biological phenomenon involves the binding of excess sugar in the body with fats and proteins, giving rise to compounds known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). While glycation itself is a normal occurrence, certain external factors can come into play, exacerbating its effects and accelerating the ageing process.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) exhibit a particular affinity for collagen and elastin, two pivotal proteins that play a crucial role in maintaining the youthful characteristics of the skin—such as suppleness, plumpness, and elasticity. The impact becomes apparent in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, which emerge as a testament to the compromised structural integrity of collagen and elastin. The complexion loses its natural vibrancy, appearing dry, dull, and fatigued.

Investing in high-quality skincare products can play a pivotal role in mitigating the visible effects of glycation on your skin. These products are specifically formulated to address the challenges posed by glycation and its impact on collagen and elastin, the fundamental proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and suppleness.
