INFLAMMATION’S
IMPACT

Wondering what inflammation has to do with the look of skin aging? More than you might think.

When exposed to daily aggressors, skin can become reactive. If left unaddressed, this long-term
inflammation can cause premature signs of aging to appear in multiple ways.

COMMON CULPRITS

Certain inflammation-inducing stressors can impact skin on a daily basis. UV rays, pollution, free radicals and micro-dust are all known to contribute to harmful reactivity when skin is left vulnerable and untreated.


 

EFFECTS ON SKIN

INFLAMMATION AT NIGHT

A root cause of aging, environmental inflammation continues to impact skin after sundown. At night, while skin’s temperature rises, there is also a dramatic rise in inflammation and moisture loss, which can contribute to premature visible aging. This surge in inflammatory markers impacts everyone, not just those exposed to environmental stressors during the day.

“Chronic inflammation can cause degradation of collagen and elastic fibers which induces wrinkles and sagging of the skin.”
