Snow Baby Cell Technical Details
The production of collagen and hyaluronic acid begins to decline in late 20s, and when reach 40s, production levels rapidly decrease to half of those in 20s. A lack of collagen leads to fine wrinkles and causes the skin to lose its elasticity, whereas insufficient hyaluronic acid results in dry skin, worsening the loss of skin elasticity and deepening wrinkles even further.
The Correlation Between Lifestyle & Collagen
Smoking
Fatal to the skin. Causes collagen production to decline, thereby accelerating skin aging, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.
Excessive alcohol
Causes collagen production to decline and damages the skin repair mechanism, thereby accelerating aging.
UV rays
Not only causes collagen production to decline, but also breaks it down faster, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin.
Insomnia
Enough sleep stimulates collagen production, whereas a lack of it causes production to decline.
Oxidative stress
Excessive exercise, processed meats, excessive fat intake, alcohol and tobacco use, as well as exposure to air pollution increase stress levels and causes a decline in collagen synthesis and production levels.
Hormonal imbalance
Hormonal imbalance due to pregnancy, menopause, or health problems causes collagen production to decline. Collagen levels plummet during menopause (-30% in 5 years), estrogen is important for collagen production and maintenance.
Vitamin C
It is not synthesized in the human body; this essential nutrient must be required as a cofactor in collagen synthesis.
Excessive sugar intake
Sugar (fructose) attaches to proteins to form Advanced Glycation End-Products, damaging surrounding proteins, weakening collagen and causing it to become dry and brittle.
Amino Acids & Collagen Synthesis
Playing a structural role in maintaining skin elasticity, collagen (fiber) makes up most of the dermis (more than 70%) and it is a very important protein synthesized in dermal fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are also involved in the synthesis, maintenance and break down of elastic fibers and ground substances in the extracellular matrix (ECM).
Presenting in the extracellular matrix of the dermis, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which keep the skin moisturizing helps to maintain the homeostasis of collagen and elastin. It undergoes a daily turn-over process where 30% of the body’s HA is broken down and produced every day. HA degradation and synthesis process is involved by HA degradation enzyme(hyaluronidase) and hyaluronan synthases(HAS). In aging skin, HA is significantly lost creation power and combining power of moisture with remaining HA, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and flexibility. The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) present in HA serves to hydrate the skin by binding up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
