As our modern world continues to step up the pace, the impact on the skin is notably increasing too.
From the moment we open our eyes in the morning to the time we go to bed, the skin is exposed to environmental stressors that are harming the skin. From dehydration to premature ageing, redness and sensitivity, our modern-day world is undoubtedly leaving its mark on the complexion.
But that's not the worst part.
The skin is the body's largest organ and the first line of defence at trapping toxins to keep harmful microparticles out of the body. While the visible signs of damage might be painful and uncomfortable, the symptoms could also mean that the skin is no longer doing its job and your health could be at risk.
Playing such a pivotal role in skin and overall health, it’s important for us all to understand the environmental risks and take every step to counteract the damage. Stat!
Because some of the most harmful threats to the skin are the ones we can't see, we want to take a look at three of the most common aggressors and share our revolutionary solution to strengthen cells and minimise daily damage.
From scrolling social media first thing in the morning to one last check of our emails before bed, it's fair to say that most of us are never too far away from a screen or device; the most notable source of blue light.
And while blue light contained in sunlight is essential during daylight hours to boost attention and mood, overexposure – particularly out of daylight hours - can lead to stress, premature ageing, and interrupted sleeping patterns. All factors that impact the quality of sleep required for optimal health cellular regeneration.
Pollution
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that environmental pollution is a significant environmental issue with up to nine out of 10 people across the globe inhaling high levels of contaminants daily.
While a fully functioning skin barrier is designed to act as a barrier between the body against toxic microparticles, exhaust fumes, pesticides and smoke, when the barrier is damaged, the impact on the skin increases giving toxins the chance to penetrate the damaged barrier causing the signs on the skin you can see and paving the way for chronic disease.
Pollution is all around us and while masks mean we can avoid inhaling it directly, any damage on the skin gives an entrance point for toxins.
The sun
It's no secret that as much as 80% of ageing can be attributed to the sun's rays. Not only does overexposure to the sun cause visible damage to the skin, further signs of often irreversible sun damage include sunspots, dehydrated skin and can also become a precursor to chronic health concerns such as cancer.
What can we do?
While we can take steps to minimise blue light exposure, wear sunscreen and avoid pollution, the reality is that in the modern world, exposure to skin aggressors is something we have to work with to counteract the damage to the skin and health.
And the key to this is reducing oxidative stress.
What is oxidative stress?
While exposure to free radicals produced in the body and environment is normal, an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidant activity can lead to potentially irreversible damage known as oxidative stress.
With those silent aggressors a leading source of free radicals, the less antioxidant activity present, the more damage to fatty tissue, DNA, and proteins in your body.
Building antioxidant protection in the body is critical to counteracting skin damage before it becomes permanent or leads to chronic health conditions.
