Skin Aging

Feeling good about one's age means feeling comfortable in one's skin, regardless of age. At Typology, we don't prevent skin from aging. We offer effective products that are true to themselves, without over-promising. Skincare that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is.

As hallmarks of skin aging, wrinkles are sometimes demonized and deemed unsightly. Although we now know their onset can be delayed and their visibility reduced through an appropriate skincare regimen—and, when necessary, aesthetic medicine interventions—the question remains for some: is it possible to eliminate wrinkles entirely? Let’s explore the scientific literature together to try to answer this.

Throughout life, the body's cells are subjected to oxidative stress. This refers to the generation of highly reactive molecules known as free radicals. These are ubiquitous in the process of cellular metabolism and can interact with DNA, proteins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the body, causing DNA chain breaks and oxidative damage such as lipid metabolism oxidation.
All these alterations are the primary internal causes of aging and skin dysfunctions. This observation has led to a medical revolution that has emphasized the importance of antioxidants and free radical scavengers in the prevention and management of skin aging.

Nutrition is the foundation of our lives, and diet is the primary means for the body to obtain the substances necessary for its growth and maintenance. Numerous scientific studies have proven that an imbalance in nutrition and poor eating habits are significant causes of aging. So, what should we eat to not accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, or even slow it down?

Wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, pigmented spots… Skin aging manifests differently in each individual. While age plays a major role, it isn’t the only factor. Our lifestyle and environment also influence skin quality and the aging process. What are the various factors driving skin aging? Let’s explore the intrinsic and extrinsic origins of cutaneous aging together.
