Aging became the subject of much attention people, especially women. Because aging affects the physical appearance that can be seen easily. Among other things, the occurrence of wrinkles on the face. Indeed, aging is a natural process. Occurrence is inevitable. However, there are steps that can be done to slow the process.
According to dermatologist Dr. Susie Rendra SpKK, aging influenced by factors inside and outside the body. Factors such as the decline of the immune and metabolic changes that occur with age can not be avoided. However, external factors such as lifestyle and sun exposure can be modified. "Factor from the outside is that we can manage to slow down the aging process," said Susie in a discussion about the health of the skin in Jakarta, some time ago.
The enormity of the influence of external factors on aging Susie indicated in his presentation. It displays pictures of faces two identical female twins. As identical twins (from one egg), age and genetics are both similar course. However, one woman in the photo looks older with more wrinkles and dark spots on her face. Apparently, the woman's profession requires him more work in the open field. "UV A and UV B from the sun is proven to cause aging faster because it triggers the formation of free radicals," said a doctor who practiced in Pondok Indah Hospital that.
Free radicals are molecules that lack an electron so unstable. To make itself stable, it robs an electron from the molecule cells. Skin cells targeted because the skin is the outermost organ. Electron-deprived skin cells will be damaged by free radicals. As a result, there are signs of skin aging such as wrinkles, spots, and opaque. Astaxanthin To prevent that necessary role of antioxidants. "Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize free radicals are," said Susie.
In addition to free radicals, he added, a number of studies have also demonstrated beneficial antioxidant stimulates the formation of collagen, the substance that keeps skin firmness. Therefore, Susie suggested the use of creams berkandungan antioxidants as part of skin care. There are different types of antioxidants with varying levels of strength. Susie substance called astaxanthin, which is derived from red algae, as one of the most powerful antioxidants.
In the scientific world, the power of an antioxidant score is expressed in oxygen radical absorption capacity or oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). The higher the ORAC score of a material, the higher the ability to neutralize free radicals.
As one of the most powerful antioxidants, astaxanthin has been used for the manufacture of health products and skin care. Soho Group Pharmaceutical companies, for example, make product U-Claire eye cream containing astaxanthin and collagen. "The skin around the eyes is thinner than the skin elsewhere. Eye skin are also more likely to move when facial expression. Consequently, the skin around the eye more easily wrinkled. Astaxanthin and collagen work synergistically to maintain healthy skin around the eyes," said Sri Dwi Hastuti, Brand Manager UniHealth, parties who market these products.
Closing the discussion, physicians Susie recalled the importance of a healthy lifestyle to maintain freshness of the skin. "Avoid smoking, alcohol, staying up late, and control stress," the message.
