Why does skin age?

Why do I get wrinkles, why does my skin become loose, why is my skin no longer so even? Yes, we all get older, but we so much want to keep old age and wrinkles away. We feel young inside, but the signs on the outside just aren't the same. Why am I getting old?

I'll try to explain it as clearly as possible. The reason is the breakdown of your cells, indeed the breakdown of your entire body. This happens when the remnants of oxygen uptake in the body, called free radicals, damage surrounding cells to stabilize themselves. Free radicals also originate from pollution and increase with sunbathing. Pop-science terms call this cell oxidation. So couldn't we just use antioxidants? Yes, that could be a solution, and more on that later.

What are free radicals? Why do we form free radicals?
The body uses oxygen to live; you breathe to oxygenate your blood. Oxygen is used in the process of forming new cells, but in this process, we have some leftover material called free radicals. Free radicals are unstable and therefore take from surrounding cells to become stable; this inhibits and damages your cells and DNA. Sometimes a chain reaction occurs, and the damage develops into various diseases.

But where do free radicals come from?

The Body: Fitness, breathing, illness and poor diet. Living cells need energy to survive. This energy comes from a wide range of substances and oxygen. When oxygen is used, waste products are formed, and these are what we call free radicals. Poor diet, alcohol, certain medications, illness and stress increase the amount of free radicals.

The environment: Pollution and sun.
Free radicals can also be absorbed from our environment. Car exhaust, smoke, sunlight, pesticides, and so on... yes, it's quite difficult to avoid free radicals.

Say it yourself...
Finally, free radicals form other free radicals in a chain reaction. One free radical forms a new one, which forms a third, and so on.

The body defends itself against free radicals using antioxidants, which are a range of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Antioxidants capture the free electron or the entire radical, preventing it from damaging the body's tissues. More on that later.

Are free radicals dangerous?
It's a difficult question to answer, because while free radicals damage surrounding cells and cause things like signs of aging on your skin and diseases in your body, they are also an important ingredient in your immune system. For example, the formation of free radicals in the body's defense cells is necessary for effectively fighting off microorganisms and infections. So the answer to whether free radicals are dangerous is yes and no; too many are bad, but too few are also bad.

What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is the term we use to describe the breakdown of cells. Too few antioxidants relative to the amount of free radicals in the body can lead to oxidative stress, which causes cell damage.

Antioxidants in the fight against wrinkles
If you want to inhibit an excessive number of free radicals and the oxidative stress they cause on your body and skin, we need to use the opposite of oxidation, namely antioxidants. So yes, antioxidants are important in your fight against skin aging.

What are anti-aging products?

In the past, anti-age products were simply products against wrinkles. Today, we want to combat all signs of aging. Therefore, the active ingredients are much more complex. We don't just want wrinkles smoothed out; we also want more radiance, we want liver spots and other pigmentation irregularities to disappear, we want more structure in the skin and more collagen. Yes, there are many desires we want fulfilled. This is also why there is such a large variation in the prices of anti-age products. Some brands want to give you as many active ingredients as possible, want to give you as much of a boost as possible, and these ingredients cost money. Others use fewer or less potent active ingredients in their products and can therefore be cheaper. It's a big world, and you should always find what you think is right for you and your skin.

What is the best anti-aging cream?
I don't believe there's one cream that suits everyone's needs. However, a combination of a proper routine, tailored to what your skin needs during the day in terms of moisture and protection, and what it can absorb at night of heavier active ingredients when the skin barrier is more open, is key. Of course, I've put together a routine for you so you can get optimal protection during the day and optimal repair at night.

What is the best anti-aging serum?
It depends on what anti-aging means to you, is it about retaining more moisture, getting rid of wrinkles, getting rid of Pigmentation problems? Because that means you want different active ingredients in your serum. The combination of products in my anti-aging package will address all age-related issues.

How do anti-aging products work? Do wrinkle creams work?
Yes, it works, and even better than we had imagined before.

Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products work by increasing cell production in the basal layer, so you create more new cells. These cells are fresh and free of DNA and sun damage. Simultaneously, we try to stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, so the skin becomes as thick and elastic as it was before the signs of aging appeared. Finally, we try to protect the skin to prevent new signs of aging from appearing.

Why should I use anti-aging products? Why should I use wrinkle cream?
You don't have to use anti-aging products; it's just an option. You should figure out and see for yourself if it's right for you. The products are often more expensive than other "regular" products on the market. It can also be more time-consuming than your current routine. So it's a question of your skin care goals.

When should I start using anti-aging products?

Cell breakdown and skin aging begin in the mid-twenties and then steadily increase. You should start an anti-aging skin care routine when you feel it's right for you.

Personally, I regret not knowing what I know today when I was younger. I would have started as soon as I turned adult. I was probably too immature in my mid-twenties, but by the time I turned 30, I would have liked to have access to the tools we have today.

Are there any foods I should avoid?
Unhealthy foods like alcohol and fatty foods produce more free radicals than healthy food and plenty of water. But oh, how I love Danish food with roast pork and brown potatoes. I also don't deny myself a glass of wine on the weekend. Therefore, I try to have a green smoothie or eat some greens in the days that follow.

Does vitamin A work against wrinkles?
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant. Therefore, this vitamin can penetrate the cell and help it divide into new cells. Unfortunately, vitamin A, retinol, is also quite unstable and toxic. That's why I always look for the new, significantly more stable and non-toxic retinoid. Raz Skincare A-retinoid is 5% and the healthiest and most effective you can get in the fight against signs of aging.

Should I choose products with sunscreen?
YES, there is almost nothing more important during the day. The sun's harmful effects on the skin and the sun's degradation of your skin are significant. That's why Raz Skincare Face Cream Rich and Raz Skincare Face Cream Calm both contain SPF30 to protect you year-round.

Are there anti-aging creams for men? Are there wrinkle creams for men?
There are a few brands that have targeted their products towards men and their skin. However, when it comes to signs of aging, wrinkles, and sun damage, the same ingredients are needed. So whether you are male or female, the Raz Skincare anti-aging series will work for you.

These are the anti-aging products you should use.

Morning Routine – Order and Usage

1. Raz Skincare Powder to Mousse
For all skin cleansing, so you can boost with more minerals and vitamins and get an optimal complexion and, not least, antioxidants against the day's degradation.

2. Raz Skincare Hh
Use as a moisturizing serum every morning to boost your skin with moisture and provide building blocks for new skin cells. This is also where you give your skin more collagen, so fine lines are smoothed out.

3. Raz Skincare Rich Face Cream
It's important that we stop the aging of your skin. Use Rich Face Cream as your day cream. It contains SPF30, so you are protected against the sun's harmful rays – a must in an anti-aging routine!

Evening routine – sequence and usage

1. Raz Skincare Powder to Mousse
For all skin cleansing, so you can boost with more minerals and vitamins and get an optimal complexion and, not least, antioxidants against the day's degradation.

2. Raz Skincare Hh
Use the same serum as in the morning, so the skin gets a moisture boost and we add building blocks for new skin cells.

3. Raz Skincare A-retinoid
Use as a serum every night to loosen up your scar tissue (just a thin layer). A-retinoid will cause your skin cells to divide, so new skin is formed. Along with peptides and hyaluron (which you can find in Hh), A-retinoid is the most important product in your anti-aging routine.

4. Danish Raz Skincare Repair
Use Repair as a night mask. You might not need this luxury, but it's a way to ensure your skin doesn't lose too much moisture overnight – and you'll wake up with the softest skin! I've included a 15ml version so you can try it out.

Other treatment

Raz Skincare Cp – Chemical Peel
Every time you wash your hair (1-3 times a week), we remove dead skin cells, increase cell regeneration, and optimize the skin to absorb your products.

When will I see improvements?

Yes, it's difficult to say; if you haven't used hyaluronic acid before, you will see the first improvements immediately after application. It also depends on whether you start at 20 or 60 years old and which of the many signs of aging you want to improve.

I've put together the products you absolutely must have in one package, and given you a great price.

Hugs, Raz
