What is Glycation and how to prevent it?

GLYCATION is damage to the skin from the inside due to the consumption of excess sugar.

When you eat lots of sugar and refined carbohydrates such as white rice, bread, and pasta, levels of blood sugar in the body become high. As a result, sugar molecules permanently bond to proteins, including the collagen in the skin – a process known as GLYCATION.

This produces a chemical reaction in the skin, that makes the surface stiffer and more inflexible, leading to premature aging making skin tougher and more wrinkled.

Once Glycation has formed, it is very difficult to get rid of but you can help reduce the appearance. This is why good skin care routine, treatments, and a healthy diet are so important.
