Distressed Skin

AGE RELATED CONDITIONS

Age related skin conditions include dryness, loss of elasticity, slow skin recovery, skin pigment irregularities, lack of blood flow to normal skin cells.

OXIDATIVE DISTRESS

Oxidative stress plays a key role in the aging process. It is associated with an imbalance between free radical production (highly unstable molecules that are destructive to healthy cells), and the skin's antioxidant defense system. Skin cells will struggle to be restored to health.

Exposure to environmental factors like UV radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol use, prolonged inflammation, cosmeceuticals, and chemically engineered ingredients can trigger the production of free radicals.

Damage from oxidative stress presents as fine lines and wrinkles, a dull, uneven skin tone, an increase in dark spots, and sagging skin.

SKIN PIGMENT

Color disturbances and skin pigment disturbances occurs when melanocytes (cells that produce melanin or skin pigment) produce too much melanin or when melanin is abnormally distributed, leading to darker patches of skin. Skin patches can be either brown or red/purple.

FAQs

If my skin is sensitive or showing signs of redness, should I use products for age-related skin?

Since inflammation is a free radical that leads to oxidative stress, it is counter-productive to start by using restorative products for age related skin conditions.

It is best to address inflammation first. Since all De La Terre Skincare products provide nutritional support and will condition the skin you will be addressing several age related skin conditions. Start with the Comforts Skincare system.

What is the best way to address age-related skin conditions?

The application of topical nutrition becomes essential in order to replenish skin that has endured persistent exhaustive cellular endurance, immune defense, and nerve impulses. Nutrition is key in facilitating cellular recovery, repair, and reconditioning.
Should I apply commercial Vitamin C or have skin peels when I have dark spots of uneven pigmentation?

Absolutely not! Pigmentation is an indication that skin is in defense mode. By using these man-made products your skin will trigger an inflammatory response. Inflammation will trigger the production of pigmentation in an effort to protect your skin.

De La Terre Skincare recommends using our Sun Diffuser. It has proven to be very effective at lightening hyperpigmentation. If the skin is not inflamed and you have not been using the above commercial products or therapies, then we also suggest Active Support Skin Lotion.

Why is Glutathione so important when addressing oxidative stress?

The skin naturally produces one of the most important and potent antioxidants called glutathione.

Glutathione is a naturally occurring chemical compound that can help neutralize free radicals by binding to the positively charged free electrons. In making this sacrifice, they act as a natural "off" switch for free radicals thus liberating our skin from oxidative stress.

Sun Diffuser is a skin serum with a high ratio of Glutathione leaving skin rendered well protected.
