Key Takeaways: Resveratrol is a naturally-occurring compound present in grapes, some berries, and other fruits and nuts. This plant compound acts as an antioxidant. But what people don’t know is that when applied to the skin, we don’t benefit from the resveratrol itself, but from the defense mechanism of the plant compound. It acts as an antioxidant and thus can protect cells against oxidative damage of free radicals and UV radiation on the skin by reducing the expression of AP-1 and NF-kB factors. It also slows down the process of photoaging the skin. Glycation is a process that is caused by the presence of excess glucose in skin fibers. This excess triggers an internal reaction in which sugar molecules adhere to the collagen and elastin proteins, which normally help keep skin firm and supple. As a direct result of glycation, our skin becomes more rigid which may increase the appearance of concerns such as puffiness, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and fine lines. Both mineral and chemical sunscreen technically do the job, they aren’t made equally! Mineral sunscreens allow your skin to detoxify itself in a way that chemical sunscreen does NOT. With this process being crucial for your body’s detoxification process, you can’t afford to go the chemical sunscreen route. Skin trauma is the process in which the skin shows the appearance of past emotional traumas. Whether they are from repressed emotions or the expression of many negative emotions over time, these tend to manifest in the skin through different types of fine lines and wrinkles on one’s skin.
