Poméol gives you its explanations and advice to regain suppleness, bounce, firmness and freshness of yesteryear.

The causes of skin aging

Factors causing wrinkles

Cellular aging results in the inevitable appearance of signs of aging on the face. Cellular renewal slows down over time, the dermis loses elasticity and flexibility . There skin becomes thinner and the wrinkles deepen . In question ? Dehydration of your skin . Your skin loses its ability to retain water, it dries out and loses its bounce.

The structure of the skin is altered over time, since the production of collagen, elastin and of decorin decreases over the years and particularly following menopause. THE collagen being a structural protein of the dermis (like elastin), it ensures the good health of our skin.

Furthermore, exposure to the sun induces the production of free radicals by our body, responsible for cellular aging. Repeated and prolonged exposure to the sun can therefore lead to premature aging of the skin and promotes water loss .

Signs of aging

It exists two types of wrinkles : THE mechanical wrinkles and the static wrinkles .

• Mechanical wrinkles are linked to the repeated contraction of facial muscles. They are also known as expression lines . There are three main ones: frown lines (between the eyebrows, first wrinkles that appear), crow's feet (corners of the eye) and the forehead.
• Static wrinkles , also called age wrinkles, are caused by sagging skin. The three main ones are the bitter lines (corners of the mouth and chin), the nasolabial fold (wings of the nose to the dimple of the lips) and the neckline wrinkles (chin to the bottom of the neck).

Routines to adopt to prevent wrinkles and delay skin aging

Prevent in the present for preserve in the future, this is our motto! The evolution of the face with age is specific to each person and depending on their genetic heritage and lifestyle, it is possible to face premature aging . Each individual has a genetic factor determining the age at which this process begins…there is no possible control over this factor, apart from acceptance! As a general rule, it is important to preserve your skin from 25 years old (average age of start of cell aging).

Poméol food supplements can prove to be of valuable help for fight against aging of the skin naturally. Indeed, they can provide specific elements as needed for skin lacking flexibility, bounce and firmness (vitamins, minerals, structural proteins such as collagen and elastin). Poméol's expertise thus focuses on a selection of active ingredients with antioxidant, protective against oxidative stress and rejuvenating benefits.
