If you’re stressed, your diet is out of whack, and your skin is feeling the effects of the colder weather, chances are you might be “inflammaging”. The beauty buzzword describes how an excess of inflammation – the body’s natural immune response to external aggressors – accelerates the skin’s ageing process (by reducing collagen production and inhibiting skin cells’ ability to renew and repair themselves). It’s more prevalent than you might think – and knowing how to combat it is key to achieving youthful, robust skin.
Our bodies are clever and use inflammation as a way of signalling stress from the inside-out. External causes of inflammation can be hot or cold environments, sun damage, pollution, tobacco smoke and things like chemical irritants (detergents, shower gels and abrasive soaps). Internal causes include an unbalanced diet, stress and a lack of sleep. A number of skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea all have their roots in the inflammatory response. The good news is, today we are going to talk about the ways you can stop inflammaging. If you want to keep the inflammaging under control, it involves lifestyle changes over the long term. We may not have much control over environmental conditions that contribute to inflammation, but one of the most impactful things we can do to slow down the effects of aging is to follow these steps provided. Thanks for listening!
