AGEING SKIN FACTORS

WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO AGEING SKIN?

Diet and excess sun exposure are two of the biggest culprits for prematurely ageing skin.

Eating pro-inflammatory foods such as sugary and starchy foods shows up on the skin as a loss of radiance, tone and facial contours, dark circles under the eyes, puffiness, increase in fine lines and wrinkles, and increased pore size. These foods can also exacerbate acne, which is a systemic, inflammatory disease.

If your goal is to maintain youthful, radiant skin, avoid consuming too much sugar, starchy carbohydrate foods and beverages.

DID YOU KNOW...

While we are spending that much on over-the-counter medication, there are many alternatives from natural sources we can find even in our own backyards.

NATURE HEALERS:

KUNYIT - is used traditional Malay dishes but also works on blue-black marks, sprains and wounds . The yellow substance is an important source of caffeic acid curcumin and turmerin. Mix some KUNYIT and sugar with a cup of milk and boil it for five minutes before consuming.

GAMAT - is sea cucumber. GAMAT oil is a solution that helps to heal cuts, skin eruptions as well as ulcers. It's also said to have a good impact on our immune system. It is available at night markets as well as your regular sundry shop.

SYNTHETIC SCENT

Synthetic aromatics are often used as an alternate source of compounds not easily obtained from natural sources.

For example, linalool and coumarin are both naturally occurring compounds that can be cheaply synthesised from terpenes.

Orchid scents (salicylates) are usually synthetically created to match the fragrant compounds found in various orchids.

FAD DIETS

Bad for the body.

FAST FOODS

Have no nutritional value, are high in fat, salt and very low in fibre.

TOO MUCH DAIRY

Can cause digestive upsets and mucous.

FAT-FREE PRODUCTS

High in sugar or salt and low in nutritional value.

TOO MUCH CAFFEINE

Is a no-no. Keep it down to one coffee or two teas a day.

SOFT DRINKS

They're packed with sugar. It's best to drink water instead.

JOELIE BEAUTY AND COSMETICS ~ WANT BEAUTIFUL SKIN?

Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Water allows your skin to "breathe" and flush out the toxics and oils that clog pores.

Also keep your hands away from your face!

The oils that you gather on your hands throughout the day really upsets your skin when you touch your face.

ANTI-AGEING TREE

THE OLIVE TREE

Native to hot climates, the olive tree is known for its extraordinary longevity and resistance.

STRENGTH:

Reinforces dermal structure.

THE SECRET INGREDIENT:

Olive leaf extract, which is derived from the leaves of the olive tree. The olive leaf has been used medically for thousands of years, spanning back to ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures.

FAME:

Collagen plays a key role in our skin's resilience and elasticity, but collagen synthesis diminishes as we age. Olive leaf extract simulates collagen synthesis as well as helps fight collagenase, the enzyme that destroys collagen and speeds the ageing process. Olive leaf extract helps protect collagen by working to prevent this alteration.

DID YOU KNOW?

The oldest olive tree is believed to be 4000 years old!
