Skin health - Green Gourmet

Your skin changes as you age. You may notice that your skin is thinner and rougher, less plump and smooth, lose elasticity and become laxity, and you may also find wrinkles and spots. In addition, with ages, you will also find your skin heals slower.

Oxidative stress is one of the predominate factor for advancing skin aging. It causes cell damage, results in wrinkles and atypical pigmentation. Our skin is equipped with an array of antioxidants to protect the cells from damage, but the levels of these antioxidants are reduced by age and various environmental stressors, such as UV exposure, smoking, alcohol, pollution, stress, inflammation. Therefore, supplement antioxidants either by topical application or by dietary ingestion can protect skin from aging.

Along with age, you skin also lose lipids (fat), which can result in roughness, tightness, dullness and loss of facial fullness. Lipids are essential components of skin and play a crucial role in maintaining the strength of the skin’s protective barrier, which holds moisture, protects the skin from damage and keeps dirt and impurities out. They also aid the skin’s natural repair process.

In addition, collagen is probably the most mentioned term when referring to skin health. It is a protein that gives smoothness and elasticity to skin, but its production declines with age. Collagen-based supplements have become a keystone in the management of the ageing process, with proven ability to repair skin damage, bestowing a youthful and healthy appearance sought in the pursuit of beauty.

At Green Gourmet, we provide you functional products that help you delay skin aging and build a strong, well-functioning foundation for healthy, glowing skin.
