Understanding PSP (Processed Skin Cell Proteins) and Anti-Aging Skin Care

There have been considerable developments within skin care in the past few years that rejuvenates aging skin. Scientists have been able to clearly focus and clinically study the aging process of the skin and how cellular therapy slows down this process and restores elasticity and youthfulness to the skin. A huge breakthrough in such studies was the formation and utilization of PSP within anti-aging skin care cosmeceuticals.
Why does our skin age?
As we get older, our skin loses moisture, elasticity, and its smooth, plump texture. These are all signs of chronological aging. However, these chronological experiences are encouraged by environmental damage. The main culprit of these environmental effects is the sun and consequently photoaging, which is when the skin is exposed to ultra-violet rays. We cannot avoid the sun completely, but we can do things to protect our skin from damaging irradiation.
Within the past decade, it has been discovered that chronological aging and photoaging both share incredibly similar molecular pathways. Similarities include a decrease in metabolic activity, the slowing down of barrier rejuvenation when skin is wounded, and a decrease in fibroblast growth capacity. It was also discovered that photoaged and chronologically aged skin require the same factors […]
