Anti-Aging
Summary:
As we get older, our skin shows signs of aging through wrinkles, deep or fine lines, pigmentation or sun spots, lack of plumpness and dehydration. Through the natural aging process and external factors such as sun exposure, air pollutants and hereditary factors, the signs of aging can begin to show as early as 30 years old.
Symptoms:
Over time the natural movements of our faces begin to leave expression lines, and deeper lines may remain on our skin even during non-movement, usually seen around the mouth as smile lines, the eyes as crow’s feet and on the forehead. Brown spots, sun damage and pigmentation begin to appear as we age, affecting the tone of our skin, making it uneven and blotchy. We also lose collagen, which is a key factor in a youthful, plump skin, once collagen begins to breakdown we can see sagging in key areas of the face. Environmental factors, including free-radical damage causes oxidation in the skin, resulting in inflammation and tissue breakdown, leading to compromised skin and an aging appearance.
Treatment:
Treating the causes of pre-mature aging and maturing skin with effective ingredients is important in fighting the five major signs of aging. Hydrating, treating and protecting the skin from environmental factors and sun damage helps to slow down the aging process and repair damaged cells. Products that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and reducing inflammation are important in restoring skin health. Through collagen-boosting ingredients, SPF, hydrating and lipid-rich products, as well as reducing outward appearance of pigmentation and sun spots, the aging process can be addressed.
The O Cosmedics Solution:
O Cosmedics is designed to treat the five major signs of aging, effectively through active ingredients and essential peptides, using pure ingredients with no parabens, petrochemicals or other nasties. Collagen breakdown, photo defence, glycation, inflammation and oxidation are major factors in skin aging. Through research and powerful ingredients, O Cosmedics treats all of these factors through deeply concentrated products that penetrate through advanced skin delivery systems with stable, clean ingredients.
Anti-aging is something that affects all skin types: oily, normal, combination, dry and sensitive. With expertly designed products, your anti-aging treatment can be customized to suit your skin type and lifestyle.
