Age Method and why it’s targeted specifically for Menopause.
The Age Method range uses the science of Epigenetics – the science that studies hereditary changes to genetic regulation of DNA by lifestyle and environmental factors – influencing and modifying activity and functionality of our genes. Simply put, we lead stressful, busy lives in polluted areas which seriously takes its toll on our skin, causing premature ageing.
Think of the skin like an orchestra – all the sections of an orchestra have different scores and play different notes – but sound great when they play together. However if one person in a section plays an incorrect note, the whole thing goes out of kilter! The same applies to the skin. If the epigenome is corrupted, damaged, modified by internal factors, such as aging, or external factors, such as pollution and UV rays, the cells may operate in a flawed way, reading the information in the DNA incorrectly and resulting in imbalance in the skin and an overall disruption in functionality.
The other thing that seriously affects our skin are hormones. Specifically, perimenopause and Menopause play a huge part in our skin ageing. When we reach perimenopause, (deep breath ladies) we lose a whopping 40% of our collagen supply! This is due to the decrease in oestrogen in the body.
Enter Age Method and our ‘no pause’ complex. We use a revolutionary ingredient in our line called Iris Isoflavone, (now also being utilised in prostate and breast cancer research). This ingredient is a compound produced by beans and found in plants (you can also ingest it through Soy), and acts as a phytoestrogen – meaning it mimics the effects of oestrogen in the body. This tricks the skin into believing there is enough oestrogen for the fibroblast cell to continue producing more collagen and elastin.
This also means we can prevent the build up of adult (hormonal) acne. When there is a fluctuation of oestrogen in the skin, androgen (the male hormone) increases, upsetting the sebaceous gland balance and often overproducing oil and sebum. With the phytoestrogen mimicking the effects of oestrogen in the skin, we can help to control sebum production that may lead to adult acne.
Our prevention cellular capitol and performance complex comes in the form of our GSH- Epigenol complex. This is essentially ‘Glutathione’ – that amazing super supplement found in vitamin drips! This tripeptide and cell energiser is actually produced naturally in our bodies however we need more of it to protect the skin against environmental damage, uv rays and free radical damage, therefore we use Calendula Flower extract and Rocket leaf extract to stimulate the growth of additional glutathione.
Calendula Flower encourages the synthesis of collagen and preserves the elastin fibres, resulting in a smoothing, firming process on the skin – essentially combating skin ageing.
Rocket leaf extract strengthens cellular defences and protects the skin from stress and fatigue – resulting in premature ageing.
The short of it is – the Age method range is there to protect our skin from hormonal damage (particularly through Perimenopause and Menopause) and to protect against damage to our dna through lifestyle and environmental factors.
