If you are looking for products that reverse skin aging by speeding up the regeneration of skin cells ...STOP! First of all, I don't buy into this concept of reversing aging. To "reverse aging" is just a theoretical idea that you are able to biologically turn back the clock by making yourself younger by repairing cellular damage and restoring functions that decline with age.
The 'information ecosystem' that makes up our culture is manipulating people, especially women, so that the most outrageous things become the most profitable. Perhaps it would be best to understand the changes of aging and how they cause cells to lose function and become damaged. For this reason, let's turn to natural science for some ‘real common sense' practices on skin aging. Trust me when I say that this information only begins to scratch the surface.
Let start with senescent cells, (also known as "zombie cells). Senescent cells refer to the process by which cells age and stop dividing, but don't die. New insight suggest that senescent cells release a cocktail of molecules, which can promote inflammation, tissue damage, and many physical aspects contributed to aging. As we age, our bodies and skin are no longer as effective at removing these dysfunctional cells, and this can lead to weakened immune system and other less efficient biological processes.
An increasing number of researchers believe that by harnessing this cellular state known as senescence during which damaged cells resist removal, linger, and harm neighboring normal cells, might hold the key to revitalizing aging tissues and increasing healthy skin cells.
What we have come to understand thus far is that senescent cells can significantly impact the microbiome by releasing a cocktail of molecules leading to disruption to the skin’s ecosystem. When this occurs, it causes increased inflammation and potential development of age-related skin diseases. These include dry skin, wrinkles, skin cancer, loss of elasticity and the skin being more prone to skin damage.
By reading my previous articles I hope by now you are gaining a broader understanding of the value of the skin’s microbiome. To summarize briefly the microbiome is sometimes called "the forgotten organ" because it's so important to proper homeostasis (maintaining a constant state of equilibrium). The microbiome is found throughout the skin’s layers and corridors and is the most effective protector against assailants. These active microorganisms not only keep the skin protected, but are co – coordinators in receiving and communicating information from the social network that connects the outside to the inside of the skin and body, and vice versa.
In addition to protecting us, the microbiome breaks down food that releases energy, and produces nutrition for the skin. We depend on this vast army of microbes to regulate the damage repair and regeneration of skin cells, the immune system, skin’s nerve response and other skin processes. We need the microbiome to be healthy so it can digest these senescent cells that just won’t die.
Therefore, it is clear that we look at foods your skin’s microbiome loves.
-
Healthy Fats - can positively influence the microbiome by promoting a diverse range of beneficial bacteria, reducing inflammation, and helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier function, which is crucial for proper nutrient absorption and immune system regulation. Omega-6 fatty acids protect cell structure from being impacted by senescence cells and can be found in all of the Herb Rich Serums, Herb Rich Balm, Active Support Skin Lotion, and Herb Rich Cream
-
Polyphenols - act as prebiotics, meaning they promote the growth of beneficial bacteria within the skin’s microbiome. They are also antioxidants, which can help neutralize harmful free radicals like inflammation that can rob skin of its health. They are formulated within all De La Terre Skincare product
-
Prebiotics - are plant fibers that feed skin’s healthy flora thus improving your skin’s digestive health and regulation of your skin’s immune system. Prebiotics also help reduce the accumulation of senescent cells. They are formulated within all De La Terre Skincare products.
- Adaptogens may have a positive effect on senescent cells by potentially reducing their number and activity through mechanisms like mitigating oxidative stress, supporting cellular repair mechanisms, and modulating inflammatory pathways, thus potentially slowing down the aging process. They are formulated within all De La Terre Skincare products.
As we integrate the changes of aging, don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo. We must change the algorithm of how we view our skin, ourselves, and who we are in a world that has become reactionary towards women.
Finding topicals that provide immediate support while restoring long-term balance can be confusing especially if you abide by the patriarchal skin care system. De La Terre Skincare is committed to equipping you with current advancements in natural science along with solutions that can seamlessly be integrated into your daily care while providing you more sustainable outcomes for improved skin quality.
