🫧 skincare is not just what you put on your face, it’s starts from within the body 🫧
🧁 This is how sugar affects your skin 🧁
Glycation:⬇️
Sugar molecules attach to collagen and elastin, proteins that keep skin firm and supple. This process, called glycation, produces Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), which make skin stiff, brittle, and less elastic, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
Accelerated Aging:⬇️
Glycation is a major contributor to skin aging. The more sugar consumed, the more AGEs accumulate, accelerating the aging process.
Reduced Elasticity:⬇️
Glycation damages collagen and elastin, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and making it more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging.
