How do you defend your skin against inflammaging?

Although the skin itself plays an important protective role for the body, it is not protected either from external aggressive irritants or from the effects of time. What factors accelerate the ageing process? How do you protect yourself from them?

Does inflammaging accelerate ageing?

The ageing process is accompanied by a deterioration of immune function, i.e. immunological ageing or inflammatory ageing – so-called inflammaging. Skin ageing can occur as a result of external and internal (chronological) processes, and inflammation is often present in both cases. Therefore, the reduction and prevention of inflammatory processes is very important for the overall condition of the skin.

How to protect the skin from inflammaging to delay the ageing process?

Daily and year-round UV protection

Every day and at all times of the year, it is important to remember to protect your skin with clothing, headgear and sunscreen creams. Protection with creams should provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB/IR. Remember to apply a cream every two hours if you are outdoors between 10am and 6pm.

Hydration according to skin type

Moisturised skin is healthy skin. Moisturisation should be included in both in-office treatments and home care. The ideal percentage of water in the stratum corneum is 15%. It is at this percentage that the enzymes responsible for exfoliating the stratum corneum are “switched on”. And thanks to them, the skin exfoliates and regenerates properly.

Probiotics to protect the skin microbiome

A healthy microbiome protects the skin. It is therefore necessary to create the conditions for its normal, healthy functioning. The active ingredient in cosmetics Nisinoxide® – maintains the balance of the microbiome, strengthens the density of the skin barrier, acting against bacteria, moulds and aggressive free radicals. Choose cosmetics containing this ingredient.
