Science of Skin Aging

Signs of Skin Aging Lines & wrinkles Sun damage & pigmentation Dull, sallow complexions Rough skin Dry skin Sagging/elastosis Skin thickening - stratum corneum Thin skin - epidermis Inflamed skin

Oxidative Stress the Major Cause of Skin Aging! Oxidative stress is damage caused to cells by reactive oxygen molecules, most notably free radicals Oxidative stress is the same natural process that causes metal to rust and apple slices to turn brown Oxygen is a toxic, pollutant, mutagenic, bi-radical, dangerous, poisonous, gas! Oxygen is absolutely necessary for all aerobic organisms in the production of cellular energy Oxygen the double edged sword both the Boon and the Bane of life!

What are Free Radicals? Agents of Aging Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons that must return to a stable state Free radicals damage and destroy essential skin components such as phospholipids and collagen Free-radical damage expresses itself as aging! The main source of free radicals is the oxygen molecule!

What are ANTIOXIDANTS? Antioxidants are molecules that protect cells from oxidative stress Antioxidants work by neutralizing or scavenging dangerous free radicals

Antioxidant Categories Biological Antioxidants COSMECEUTICALS Those antioxidants required by the human body (e.g. Vitamins A, C, E & Pro-A) either made by the body, acquired through diet, or by external application to the skin Bioengineered Antioxidants SUPERCEUTICALS mitochondriatargeted antioxidants (e.g. Idebenone) relieve oxidative stress by entering the respiratory chain; the only antioxidants that fight both intrinsic and extrinsic aging UV VIT E VIT C E º Pro-A º UV C º Pro-A UV PRIORI Antioxidant Technologies Exclusive and Best in Class in every category!

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) AHAs were the first molecules to start the cosmeceutical revolution AHAs are still the best cosmeceuticals for skin normalization and basic anti-aging skin health & fitness

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Derivation AHAs are members of a food group of naturally occurring organic acids typically derived from fruits and foods

Advanced AHA Benefits All Skin Conditions will benefit from AHAs Maintenance of healthy skin proper skin fitness Normalizes skin renewal rate Hydrates the skin from within stimulates HA Increases epidermal thickness Increases dermal proteins (collagen and elastin) Photodamage & Skin discolorations: Hyperpigmentation evens skin tone Fine lines & wrinkles decreases visible signs of skin aging Acne & problem-prone skin: improves complexion Scarring

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Mechanism of Action Think of the stratum corneum as the roof of your house Dead skin cells can be UP TO 80 layers thick! Think: burnt toast! Exfoliation is essential to healthy skin-- FACE and BODY

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Mechanism of Action AHAs work by two main mechanisms of action - they are natural chemical exfoliators and potent moisturizers The result of topical AHA use is skin NORMALIZATION a return of the skin to normal moisture content and proper exfoliation rate back to basic skin fitness and health

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Moisturization Dry Skin With Typical Moisturizer With AHA Use AHAs are true moisturizers, capable of improving the skin s natural ability to bind moisture by increasing glycosaminoglycan (GAG) deposition in the epidermis and dermis Typical moisturizers prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by forming an occlusive barrier on the surface of the skin

Hyaluronic Acid: HA Essential Skin Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) The Skin s natural Moisture Retention Substance Binds 1,000 times its own molecular weight in water: skin sponges Critical Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) medium for cell mobility Tissue Differentiation Wound healing Rapid Anabolism and Catabolism in Skin 48 hr half-life Anabolism naturally induced by presence of lactic acid, the cell signal agent for HA

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Why is ph Important? Skin surface ph is between 4 and 6.5 in healthy people Skincare products with a ph below can be very irritating for the skin Low ph is not necessary to deliver optimal product results Acidic Normal Skin Water Basic 0 4 6,5 7 14 When performing professional peels, a more acidic ph will dramatically reduce the contact time - reducing the irritation value
