Of course, we don\u2019t all age at the same rate, and every choice we make affects how we feel and look over time. However, there are certain factors that have a much greater impact on our skin than others\u2014they can either speed up or slow down the aging process.  <\/p>\n<h3>Skin aging \u2013 it\u2019s not as simple as you think<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in our body? That\u2019s why it may come as a surprise that we often treat it as something completely separate from the rest of the body. The skin and the processes taking place within it are influenced by many factors\u2014just as is the case with the heart, liver, or lungs. These factors can be divided into external (i.e., environmental) and internal ones. Lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress, and of course genes are all factors that determine how all our organs function, including the skin. So you can\u2019t say that just one factor is the reason your skin looks less radiant or more tired than your friend\u2019s. There are many variables that must always be taken into account. Skin aging, just like the aging of the entire body, is a very complex process       <\/p>\n<h3>Factors Affecting the Skin Aging Process (An Interview with Monika Krzy\u017costan by Aldona Luterek)<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Video Placeholder\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHOmBV4js_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p><h3>Promieniowanie UV \u2013 g\u0142\u00f3wny winowajca fotostarzenia si\u0119 sk\u00f3ry<\/h3><p>One of the most harmful external factors is UV radiation, which significantly accelerates the skin\u2019s aging process. Sunscreen is a must, regardless of the season. In summer and spring, we are primarily exposed to UVB rays. Unfortunately, at our latitude, UVA radiation reaches us all year round. What\u2019s more, it also penetrates window glass, which is why we\u2019re exposed to it even when indoors. You might wonder, of course, why the sun has \u201csuddenly\u201d become one of the skin\u2019s enemies, even though our mothers and grandmothers didn\u2019t place such importance on protecting themselves from it. Fortunately, advances in medicine also influence other fields\u2014including cosmetology. Thanks to more research, such as studies on the impact of radiation on melanoma development, we know how important year-round skin protection is. UV radiation also causes photoaging, which is one of the mechanisms of skin aging. It manifests mainly as discoloration and age spots. Sunscreen is effective protection that we shouldn\u2019t neglect\u2014especially since it can positively impact our appearance.          <\/p><h3>Antyoksydanty w s\u0142u\u017cbie sk\u00f3ry<\/h3><p>Maintaining healthy-looking, youthful skin is a goal many of us strive for. And while the aging process cannot be stopped, there are several factors that can slow it down slightly. One of these is antioxidants\u2014substances that neutralize free radicals. Look for them in creams or serums. These include vitamins C and E, as well as resveratrol and superoxide dismutase. Cosmetics containing antioxidants are recommended for everyone, regardless of age, as part of a daily skincare routine. Free radicals form in our cells every day, and many factors\u2014such as UV radiation\u2014intensify this process. Remember that when antioxidants work together synergistically, the protective effect is even greater. That\u2019s why you should look for cosmetics that contain not just one, but at least two antioxidants\u2014just like in the PRO-AGE line.        <\/p><h3>Sok z buraka \u2013 bomba antyoksydacyjna<\/h3><p>Don\u2019t forget that you can supply your body with antioxidants not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Regular supplementation is one way to ensure you get the antioxidants you need. You can replace them with juices\u2014for example, beet juice. It\u2019s a true antioxidant powerhouse that will positively affect the appearance of your skin and also reduce the risk of DNA mutations. As Monika Krzy\u017costan, head of Dr. Kozie\u2019s laboratory, notes: \u201cThere are plenty of studies confirming that drinking beet juice daily significantly slows down the process of cancer development.\u201d Our skin does not exist in a vacuum. It is an organ influenced by many factors\u2014including diet. This is indicated by various studies, such as those linking the gut microbiome to the condition of our skin. \u201cAll kinds of atopic conditions\u2014atopic dermatitis or allergies that we observe on the skin\u2014are linked to the gut microbiome. Not just the skin microbiome, but also the microbiome found in our intestines.\u201d         <\/p><h3>Twoja sk\u00f3ra potrzebuje nawil\u017cenia<\/h3><p>Skin hydration is another factor that can influence the aging process. Water is essential not only for the proper functioning of the entire body, but also for the functioning of every single cell. Monika points out that \u201cthe more water there is in the cells, the better hydrated the skin is, and the smaller and less visible the wrinkles will be. The skin will be smoother. It also won\u2019t have that gray, unhealthy complexion.\u201d How should you hydrate your skin? Cosmetics containing moisturizing ingredients\u2014such as hyaluronic acid or aloe leaf juice, which form the basis of Phenom\u00e9 products\u2014can certainly help with this. It is used instead of demineralized water in cosmetics to improve the skin\u2019s hydration level. Hydrated skin not only looks better but also becomes much more \u201cabsorbent.\u201d Keratinocytes\u2014the cells that produce keratin and form the stratum corneum\u2014spread apart precisely when the skin is well-hydrated. This creates \u201cchannels\u201d between them, through which nutrients and active ingredients can freely penetrate into deeper layers. Cosmetics work much better, therefore, when you prioritize hydration\u2014not only through creams or serums, but also by drinking an adequate amount of water daily. The skin begins to age around the age of 25. This is precisely the time when you need to start a proper and consistent skincare routine focused on hydration and protection against free radicals. However, don\u2019t forget about other factors, such as a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. A comprehensive approach to skincare can truly help you slow down the aging process that has already begun.              <\/p><br\/><br\/><br\/><br\/><br\/><br\/><br\/><br\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aging isn\u2019t our body\u2019s way of \u201cgetting back at us\u201d for how we\u2019ve lived so far\u2014it\u2019s a completely natural process that can\u2019t be avoided.
