Are you getting antioxidant skin protection to counter the effects of sun radiation with your current skin care regimen?
You know that free radicals or Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and UVA damage disrupt the cell communication system and the balance of growth factors and proteins released by cells of the immune system, which act through specific cell receptors to regulate immune responses, resulting in abnormal cell function, including the breakdown of collagen, and the aged appearance of skin and loss of skin elasticity.
While UV radiation is the most commonly cited type of environmental stress, other factors, such as cigarette smoke and air pollution, can cause oxidant formation on the skin surface and accelerate skin aging.
When considering skin care, remember this: With a more rapidly depleting ozone layer, the need for sun protection is greater than ever before. Sunscreens, while effective barriers, only physically hinder UV damage. A second line of defense is imperative…. That second line of defense is BIOSKINBALM.
Featured Skin Antioxidant Cream
BIOSKINBALM contains the most complete and balanced natural antioxidants, enhancers of cell communication and cellular detoxifiers for routine application on the skin surface. It halts the chain reaction of free radicals that are missing electrons and calms them before they tear into your cells.
BIOSKINBALM skin treatment brings your tissues back into balance, e.g. restores integrity to your cell membranes.
• Enhances cellular detoxification
• Inhibits free radical production caused by UV and H2O2
• Provides cellular and DNA protection from UV damage
Potent Antioxidant Cream
The skin treatment balm contains hyaluronic acid and a biological immune serum with other glycosaminolycans and enzyme-proteins tightly bound to oligoelements (Copper and Zinc) that act as co-enzymes and have antioxidant activity. They support your immune system workers that quench free radicals and protect your skin from the effects of UVA radiation.
The biological ingredient in the balm also contains and induces the proliferation of antimicrobial peptides that stop microbes from invading your tissue-proteins.
Also present are glycoconjugates that have the ability to tell a skin cell to act and behave better, more like a normal healthy skin cell would, or to stop other substances from instructing the cell to behave abnormally.
This is exciting news because antioxidants lack the ability to “tell” a damaged skin cell to behave more normally. Years of unprotected or poorly protected sun exposure causes abnormal skin cells to be produced. Instead of normal, even, and completely intact skin cells being regenerated, when damaged cells form and reproduce they are uneven, flat, and lack structural integrity. As a result of these deformities, they behave poorly. This is where cell-communicating ingredients (examples are glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, niacinamide and adenosine triphosphate) have the potential to help.
Every cell has a vast series of receptor sites for different substances. These receptor sites are the cell’s communication hookup. When the right ingredient for a specific site shows up, it has the ability to attach itself to the cell and transmit information. In the case of skin, this means telling the cell to start doing the things a healthy skin cell should be doing. If the cell accepts the message, it then shares the same healthy message with other nearby cells and so on and so on.
As long as there is a receptor site and the appropriate, healthy signaling substance, a lot of good, healthy communication takes place. But a cell’s communication network is more complex than any worldwide telephone system ever made. The array of receptor sites and the substances that can make connections to them make up a huge, complex, and varied group with incredible limitations and convoluted pathways that is the field of study of glycobiology a the new “sweet science” of polysaccharides. Communication between cells affects many of the cell’s behaviors, e.g. motility, cell division, differentiation, programmed cell death, and cellular detoxification.
Cellular detoxification is the process by which the body removes cellular and DNA damaging materials that are responsible for adverse effects on the skin. In the presence of oxidizers such as UV and H2O2, ROS are formed on the skin surface, which can modify cellular function.
Antioxidant skin care, antioxidants skin, anti aging antioxidant skin care product
There are natural antioxidants, such as catalase and glutathione that exist within cells. They assist in limiting ROS levels since an overabundance will negatively impact the integrity of the cells. Specifically, catalase inhibits the production of ROS following UV exposure, while glutathione’s primary function is to remove damaged proteins from the cells. Glutathione (GSH), often called the “master anti oxidant”, binds itself to proteins damaged by oxidation, allowing these toxins to be excreted from the body. This process is known as glutathionylation. Unfortunately, as the body ages, glutathione production decreases resulting in a decrease in detoxification.
Skin antioxidants and their role against free radical photodamage and photo-aging
Say you expose yourself to the sun for a while; some of the molecules in your skin may become short of one electron so they grab an electron from a lipid in the skin membrane. The “oxidized” lipid then steals an electron from the next lipid in the skin membrane, leaving it unpaired and desperate. And so the stealing is repeated down the line, in a chain reaction.
When free radicals do this – grab electrons from your body molecules – the molecules are oxidized and left with an “electron hole.”
Holes in our cell membranes allow unwanted elements in, like leaving your car door unlocked in a high-crime area. Extra anti-oxidants are essential to staying healthy.
You’ve heard that free radicals damage cell structures and cell processes. They are the first cause of all disease and early aging because we are the totality of our cells.
You know that free radicals are out to grab electrons, they’re electrophilic (electron-lovers). And the phospholipids in our cell membranes are the easy prey of free radicals. These lipids are unsaturated fats who beg to give their electrons away. In fact, they’re so attractive to oxygen, that it’s the cell’s main way of keeping infectious organisms out, like bacteria, fungi, viruses.
What quenches a free radical? What stops it in its tracks?
An atom that has electrons to give, that will satisfy the radical’s electrophilia.
Who decides whether an atom will steal electrons from other atoms, OR give its electrons away, OR like a good child will share its electrons?
It’s in the chemistry of the atom. Picture an atom with its electrons orbiting round the nucleus, each in their own orbit, like planets orbiting the sun. Now it’s the electrons in the outer orbit, the shell furthest away from the sun, that count in chemical reactions.
If an atom’s outer shell has more than half – but not all – the electrons it needs, then it’s a free radical. It will steal electrons from other atoms. Also called an oxidizer, oxidizing agent, electron acceptor, or Lewis acid.
Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, it needs 8, therefore it has more than half, and it’s out on the prowl, looking for 2 electrons to bring its outer fill to 8. It’s a virulent oxidizer!
If an atom’s outer shell has less than half the electrons it needs, then it’s a free radical quencher or scavenger. It will give electrons to other atoms. Also called a reductant, reducing agent, electron donor, or Lewis base. All alkaline minerals are reductants. They walk around freely handing out their outermost electrons. So they can enter into the chemistry of life.
For instance, calcium and magnesium have only 2 electrons in their outer shell, while sodium and potassium have one each. It’s far easier to give up their one or two electrons than prowl around for a whole bunch.
All free radicals, all acids, all carcinogens, are electron-loving, eager to gain electrons. Once in our blood, they strongly react with electron donors such as our cell membranes.
These villains stick to our cell membranes and smother the poor cell. They barricade the city-cell – no food can come in, no waste can go out. They also burn holes in cell and nuclear membranes and attack your DNA, causing mutations there.
Plus they neatly fit into protein receptors in your cell membranes, receptors that need to receive signals from your brain and endocrine glands (hormones) to tell your cell what to do. We all know pesticides are estrogen-mimickers.
With no signals, an isolated cell doesn’t know what to do, and begins to multiply itself out of control. What is this? Cells dividing over and over into a big lump? It’s a tumor, benign or malignant.
Key Points about UV Damage:
• American Academy of Dermatology estimates that 80% of a person’s lifetime sun damage occurs before the age of 18.
• More melanin does not equate to less risk. Even skin with higher melanin content can incur significant DNA damage at very low UV exposures.
• UVA, the longer wavelength, is believed to contribute to wrinkle formation.
• UVB attacks the skin surface and has been shown to be a major contributor to skin cancer formation.
Topically-applied antioxidants help to keep skin healthy and help prevent sun damage and improve cell function. Further, skin antioxidants have been conclusively shown to exert a positive effect on reducing skin irritation and inflammation, and that is a crucial step in creating or maintaining healthy, vibrant skin and, therefore potentially reducing accelerated skin aging and wrinkles.
In and around cells, the skincare ingredient that is embodied in our products, as we will review further below, quenches free radicals before they can damage the molecules of healthy skin cells. Your cells are protected and allowed to grow, function, and regenerate without interference from rogue, oddball radicals that steal their electrons.
BIOSKINBALM brings your tissues back into balance, e.g. restores integrity to your cell membranes. The product contains natural enzyme-proteins and glycoproteins, your immune system workers, that quench free radicals and protect your skin from the effects of UVA radiation, while at the same time it stops microbes from invading your tissue-proteins. It also moisturizes the skin deep within where it matters. And it helps to quickly repair damaged skin tissues by dissolving them, through the action of those enzymes, into their amino-acid components; which are then used to rebuild strong membrane proteins to strengthen the cell’s defenses.
BIOSKINBALM allows the skin to respond better to sun damage and aging and may also improve the production of key components of the skin affected by photodamage and photoaging.
