Sugar-resistant whitening has become a new trend. Is anti-sugar skin care really effective?
Fighting against saccharification is to stop the reaction between sugar and protein, which requires enzymes or other substances in the body to stop saccharification. However, he also admitted that the mechanism has not been fully explained from the literature he consulted.

"At present, anti-saccharification is still the stage of hype concept." The hype concept is a common means of cosmetics promotion, but consumers are also used to the new concept of consumption.

"Anti-saccharification" is a popular concept at present. Many people say that anti-saccharification can resist aging. Is it true?/You don't say. "Saccharification" refers to the Maillard reaction between sugar and collagen and elastin in skin and organs, and it becomes the final product of saccharification (which will lead to the hardening and loss of elasticity of skin collagen and make us age faster).

However, the effect of anti-glycosylation skin care products on AGEs mainly lies in prevention, and the repair effect is limited. Because:

1, the accumulation of age is unavoidable and irreversible. Once created, it cannot be changed.

2. The influence of age on skin aging is less than 30%, and more is "ultraviolet damage". Therefore, you can use conventional anti-glycosylation skin care products, and it is best to use them together with other anti-aging products to achieve the desired effect.

For anti-saccharification, it is more important to:

1) Stick to sun protection every day.

2 control calorie intake. What is important is a high GI (glycemic index) food intake.

Eat less fried and grilled food. The same food is cooked in different ways and contains different ages, so steaming and cooking are relatively better.

4 Use with skin care products containing tretinoin/alcohol/ester, or skin care products containing peptides.

Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Nutrition experts also pointed out that to maintain a good skin condition, we must adhere to a balanced diet and consume at least 13 kinds of food every day; Second, stay away from refined sugar, transformed sugar and processed sugar, such as milk tea, cakes, juice and other sweets; Three, eat less greasy food and fried, roasted, fried and other high-temperature cooked food, such as all kinds of barbecue, animal offal, hot pot and so on. Fourth, we should strengthen physical exercise to ensure regular work and rest and good living habits.

Liu Wei, deputy director of the Medical Beauty Branch of the Chinese Medical Association: The first is sun protection. Photoaging caused by sun exposure is the main form and content of exogenous skin aging, so we should prevent sun exposure. It doesn't matter whether it is a "saccharification reaction". Physically, it has a certain influence. Choosing some "anti-glycation" products supported by scientific data is of course good for the skin. Of course, we can't just focus on "anti-saccharification" and ignore other aspects, which is unreasonable.
