“Aging” encompasses the complex process of cellular deterioration and the unpleasant side effects that we as beautiful humans spend so much time, energy, and money trying to combat; we are talking about the real issues such as wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, crow’s feet, laugh lines, uneven skin texture.⁣ ⁣ When we are young we have an abundance of collagen (which provides skin firmness), elastin (which supplies skin elasticity and rebound) and glycosaminoglycans or GAGs (which keep the skin hydrated). Over time, all of these functions degenerate leaving our skin in particular as the most visible indicator of one’s age. Aside from the typical aging process as you get older, did you know that certain ingredients in skincare can actually help (OR HURT) the aging process?⁣ ⁣ Yes, there are ingredients that actually speed up the process. As acne and aging experts we have put together a list of ingredients you SHOULD have in your skincare routine and ones you should AVOID.⁣ ⁣ Check out the link in bio to learn more about CLEARstem’s Anti-Aging Ingredients & what to avoid⁣ 🙌 ⁣ (image via @marthastewart48 )
