Q: Can skin ageing be reversed?

A: The appearance and signs of skin ageing can be minimized, and further skin ageing can be controlled. New scien-tific research has uncovered ingredients that work on a cellular level to control skin ageing, all while minimizing cur-rent signs of skin ageing. Some of these ingredients include antioxidant vitamins C from the stem cells of oranges, vitamin B3 and E, peptides, Retinoid (Vitamin A), our proprietary complex Phytinol, and of course the daily use of a mineral SPF protection. Arbonne’s Re9 anti-ageing products offers a skincare regimen of gold standard botanically based ingredients, with the best of science and nature to help combat the signs of skin ageing.

Q: What are free radicals?

A: Free radicals are responsible for skin ageing in the form of wrinkles, breakdown in collagen and elastin, and in-flammation.

Also known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), free radicals are highly reactive, unstable molecules that attack and steal from stable molecules. Unstable means the free radicals don’t have an even number of electrons, and are constantly in search of an extra electron to steal to become stable. For every free radical that “steals” from a stable molecule, another free radical is formed, causing a cascade of free radical formation.

Fortunately, antioxidants (Vitamins C and E) can help stop the free radical cascade and control this trigger of skin aging.

Q: Why is collagen important in skin?

A: Collagen is a protein produced in the body that connects, supports, and helps give firmness and strength to the body’s tissues.

By the time we reach our 30th birthday, we will start to lose 1% of collagen with each subsequent birthday. Collagen production slows as we age, which impacts the skin’s ability to repair itself, triggering a loss of elasticity.

Because of collagen’s role in firmer, taut skin, many skin aging products include ingredients that help stimulate colla-gen production.

Q: What’s the difference between intrinsic ageing and extrinsic ageing?

A: Intrinsic ageing is the normal, genetic process of physical change over time, and begins the minute we’re born. Extrinsic ageing is ageing caused by external factors like our environment and lifestyle. The main signs of environmental ageing come from the sun, stress, alcohol, smoking, sleep deprivation, and pollution.There environmental aggressors harm the skin because they produce free radicals, which cause chronic skin inflammation at a cellular level. This irritation leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in your skin, increasing the appearance of fine line, wrinkles and age spots. They can also leave your skin dehydrated, dull, rough and sensitised.
