Young people are getting more interested in keeping their skin youthful. And aging women have always been looking for ways to reduce wrinkles and keep a youthful look.

 However, skin aging is more than a cosmetic issue, it impacts overall health! Learn more and find three products that can cover the needs of women, and men, of all ages.

 Importance of skin health

The skin serves many functions, including:

  • Acting as a barrier against infection
  • Helping maintain the body’s hydration and temperature
  • Serving as the frontline of immune protection against environmental toxins

When skin structure starts to deteriorate, it can weaken its essential barrier function against the external environment. Check out a perfect trio that can protect against skin aging and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out:

Collagen is the body’s glue!

 Collagen is essentially the glue that holds the body together, the body’s most abundant protein, and makes up 70% of the subsurface layer of the skin by weight. It is vital for skin elasticity, firmness, and resilience. Research has demonstrated that oral use of a collagen peptide can improve skin elasticity by an average of 7% and reduce the volume of eye wrinkles by 20%.*
 
 
Life Extension “Hair, Skin & Nails Collagen Plus” Formula:
  • Can reduce the appearance and volume of wrinkles
  • Can support skin elasticity, healthy hair, and stronger nails
  • Is clinically validated to promote collagen and keratin health

Ceramides can stop skin aging 

 
Ceramides are major skin components, and young people’s skin naturally contains ceramides that produce a moist, plump, wrinkle-free appearance. Clinical studies have shown that oral phytoceramide dramatically rejuvenates aging skin.

The clinically studied ceramides in Life Extension “Skin Restoring Ceramides” can:

  • Smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
  • Encourage healthy skin hydration and revitalization
  • Promote healthy levels of ceramides in aging skin
 

Astaxanthin can promote youthful, supple skin

 Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid and antioxidant found at high concentrations in certain microalgae.

Clinical research demonstrated that astaxanthin:

  • Improved skin wrinkles, elasticity, and texture
  • Boosted skin moisture content while reducing skin water loss
  • Inhibited the underlying processes that produce wrinkles and age spots
  • Enhanced collagen production in skin cells, which helps maintain or restore skin’s youthful plumpness and firmness.

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble nutrient, so it is crucial to take it in a highly absorbable form. Choose the best quality astaxanthin from Life Extension.
