Chicago – A study conducted by Antonino Di Pietro’s team, scientific director of the Institute Dermoclinico Vita Cutis and published in the Journal of Plastic Dermatology, showed that it is possible to slow down skin aging effects by supplying the skin with glycan and phospholipids, which stimulate the skin cells to produce more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which ameliorate the response to environmental stress. The latest studies, presented at the American Academy of Dermatology in Chicago, highlighted the importance of sugars for the skin’s well-being The level of sugar (glycan) is reduced by about 50% between the ages of 30 and 60, and the remaining sugar changes so that it is no longer guaranteeing the proper functioning of cells and proteins.
