All About Skin Care Treatments

Skin aging occurs due to both internal and external factors. Nutrition, diet, sun exposure, alcohol consumption, and smoking can all affect the connective tissue in your skin, resulting in lower levels of collagen and elastin. (1) Collagen is the protein in your skin that affects its elasticity and provides structural support. As you age, the reaction between the collagen in your skin and natural sugars can affect cellular function or result in loss of elasticity and yellowing of the skin. (2)

Skin glycation occurs when sugars in your body bind to your collagen, creating what are known as advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.s). A.G.E.s change the composition of collagen proteins, causing them to become brittle. A.G.E.s also affect the ability of collagen proteins to self-repair which can lead to wrinkles and fine lines. We offer several different types of skin care treatments to restore your skin barrier depending on the condition of your skin:

  • Creams
  • Cleansers
  • Exfoliants
  • Toners
  • Lip Treatments
  • Moisturizers
