What is Inflammaging?
Every single day, we are bombarded by aggressors in our environment. These environmental stressors have a multiplicative effect on the skin that causes premature aging, known as inflammaging, which is responsible for irreversible cellular and tissue damage.
What causes inflammaging?
The body triggers a positive inflammatory reaction to defend itself against aggressors (viruses, bacteria, environmental factors, chemicals, etc.) and move into repair mode. When the body is overwhelmed by aggressors, it starts developing small continuous inflammatory reactions without a repair phase, called chronic inflammation. Over time, chronic inflammation can inflict damage to the skin at a foundational level, inducing faster aging. Some examples of environmental stressors that cause inflammaging include:
- UV Exposure & Blue Light
- Dry Air & Extreme Temperatures
- Chronic Stress
- Incapacity to Unplug
- Pollution & Toxins
- Excess Sugar & Glycation
What does inflammaging look like in the skin?
At the skin level, chronic inflammation can be apparent through redness, dryness, and sensitivity. In most cases, it is discrete and sometimes asymptomatic. This silent inflammation appears to be one of the main causes of accelerated aging AKA inflammaging, which can manifest in many ways:
- Uneven Skin Tone
- Inflammation & Sensitivity
- Weak Skin Barrier
- Collagen Decline
- Dull Complexion
- Wrinkles & Fine Lines
