Are you aware of oxidative stress and the risks it poses to your skin health, as well as your overall wellness? While many of us are focused on treating our skin from a topical level, what few realize is just how important it is to understand and care for our skin from a cellular level. Oxidative stress is one of the primary contributors to aging, and is often caused by environmental factors beyond our control. Understanding what leads to oxidative stress, how to minimize its impact, and how to best care for our skin in general is one of the best ways to protect ourselves from health issues, and delay signs of aging including thin skin and more. At Bloo Pharmapeutica, we know how important it is to approach skincare from a health and wellness perspective and how powerful knowledge is when it comes to setting ourselves up for success and avoiding future discomfort. Below, we’ll examine oxidative stress in closer detail, as well as how you can help your skin stay as radiant and healthy as possible as you age. Read on to learn more!
Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons that seek to stabilize themselves by stealing electrons from other molecules, which leads to cellular damage and oxidative stress. There are many different factors that can lead to this process occurring, with common causes including environmental pollutants, UV radiation, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and poor diet.
While it’s impossible to avoid oxidative stress altogether due to environmental stressors like pollution and harsh weather conditions, prolonged exposure to aggravating factors without proper care can rapidly accelerate the aging process and lead to thinning skin due to the aggressive breakdown effect oxidative stress has on collagen and elastin. Oxidative stress can also disrupt the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, hindering its ability to combat external sources of harm and heal properly.
As we said above, it may not be possible to avoid oxidative stress, but you can help prevent the damage it causes to your skin in the long term. Adopting a proactive approach early on can reduce the harm caused by stressors, and ensuring your skincare routine has the right “tools” in place is essential for prevention. Incorporating antioxidant-rich products into your skincare routine aids in neutralizing free radicals and promotes cellular repair/regeneration to delay the signs of aging. Suncare is another essential part of proactive protection and should be applied before going outside for long periods, even on cloudy days. Finally, it’s worth noting that the saying “you can’t outrun a bad diet” doesn’t just apply to the benefits of combining exercise and nutrition. A nutrient-rich diet paired with a healthy exercise routine, as well as avoiding harmful substances like nicotine and excessive alcohol consumption, is essential for overall health and wellness at all stages of life and plays a key role in reducing early signs of aging.
