Scientific research shows that glycation is one of the main causes of skin ageing. Glycation is a chemical reaction mainly caused by the excess sugar we ingest but also oxidative stress and UV radiation.

How does Glycation occur?

Glycation occurs when an excess of glucose is combined with the collagen and elastin fibres. This sets off a chemical reaction that forms destructive molecules called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Glucose overlaps around the collagen and elastin fibres and with time they become rigid and can even break and lose their activity. With age, the AGE molecules accumulate in the dermis and end up destroying the support cushion of the skin formed by elastin and collagen.

How does Glycation affect the appearance of the skin

As the AGE molecules damage collagen and elastin the following effects occur:

Reduces suppleness of the skin

Tissues sag to form flaccid skin

Wrinkles are formed and become more pronounced

The skin also loses radiance with a dull and tired appearance.

How to prevent glycation?

Glycation can’t be completely stopped however it can be slowed through positive dietary choices and good skincare products.

Diet

Avoid white sugar and High-fructose corn syrup

Instead of white bread and white rice, choose carbs such as wholegrain bread and brown rice (these produce less glucose and release it more slowly.) Take carnosine supplements – an amino acid that has been shown to protect against AGE buildup. Green tea stimulates collagen synthesis and has been proven to interfere with the glycation process. White mulberries and their leaves are known to help to slow down the breakdown of sugars, allowing for a lower absorption into the blood.

Skincare

Choose a quality anti-ageing cream that contains AGE fighters. Look out for these two powerful ingredients key to the fight against glycation: Ume Extract: Ume is a type of Japanese plum that has been used as food and medicine in China, Korea and Japan. It contains twice as many proteins, minerals and fats as other fruits. With powerful anti-glycation effects, it inhibits the formation of new AGEs whilst accelerating the decomposition of existing ones. Vitamin C or Vitamin C Derivative (VC-IP): widely known for the following benefits on the skin:

Does collagen lift your face?

Collagen Lift, also known as 'The Facelift Facial' is a non-surgical treatment for skin tightening and firming loose or sagging skin. This treatment tightens, tones and lifts achieving firm, youthful looking skin – without the telltale frozen stares and 'puffed up' look associated with injectables and fillers.

skinbase.co.uk - What Is a Collagen Lift Facial - SkinBase

This treatment tightens, tones and lifts achieving firm, youthful looking skin – without the telltale frozen stares and ‘puffed up’ look associated with injectables and fillers. An experienced therapist will perform the treatments by using a ceramic wand that emits radio frequency waves to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to prevent signs of skin ageing. Collagen Lift is ideal if you want to tighten and firm skin, on your face and body, and avoid surgical anti-ageing procedures. The radio frequency technology used for this treatment is highly effective for skin tightening and firming loose or sagging skin. Some injectables paralyse your muscles to improve the appearance of wrinkles and to plump out the skin. With prolonged use, it is thought injectables can cause muscle ‘disuse dystrophy’, weakening the muscles and causing the very issues the treatment is supposed to rectify. However, with Collagen Lift, clients can look forward to:

Increased muscle tone

A more defined jawline

Diminished fine lines

This is all thanks to the tightening effect from a natural realignment of the tissues, as a result of collagen boosting under the surface of your skin.
