Skincare suddenly becomes more important to women once we\u2019ve reached our thirties and forties. The products that seemed like a luxury before now seem essential for looking and feeling our best. OneSkin is a skincare company<\/a> that develops products to promote skin health at the molecular level.<\/p>\n I love their products, which support healthy skin<\/a> from the outside while I focus on my diet for the inside. While it\u2019s a topical product, I\u2019m fascinated by how they focus on rejuvenation from within the cell.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here are my thoughts on OneSkin products and how they\u2019re revolutionizing the way we look at skincare and promoting skin longevity.<\/p>\n Skin health is very much connected to our overall health. In fact, the skin often reflects what\u2019s going on inside the gut and the blood vessels. Aging in general is caused by a loss of integrity within the cells of the body \u2013 wherever they may be, including our skin cells.\u00a0<\/p>\n How fast our skin ages depends on our genetics and our environment. Things like too much sun, pollution, diet, and lifestyle choices can make aging worse.\u00a0These skin stressors damage the skin and create senescent \u201czombie\u201d cells, now known to be the root cause of skin aging. <\/p>\n When cells become senescent, they stop dividing like normal cells. They grow larger and just sit there like zombies, accumulating over time. However, they still influence metabolism, and not in a good way. While taking up space, they begin secreting pro-aging factors<\/a>, including inflammatory cytokines, and immune modulators.<\/p>\n Senescent cells also influence the healthy cells surrounding them. They trigger neighboring cells to begin aging faster and start breaking down collagen. This leads to widespread inflammation, poor barrier function, and visible signs of aging. That\u2019s when we look in the mirror and start noticing sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.<\/p>\n Our skin is also the main protective barrier against the external environment. It filters out toxins, controls hydration, protects us against UV radiation, and more. Maintaining healthy, strong skin throughout our lives protects the health of our internal organs.<\/p>\n Inflammation is key when it comes to aging. There\u2019s a term out there called \u201cinflammaging,\u201d which reflects that close association. Diet can make a massive difference. Focusing on a whole-food diet with plenty of fresh produce can reduce internal aging.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fresh foods are high in vitamins and antioxidants that fight free radicals. They also supply polyphenols, minerals, and other nutrients necessary for healthy cells.<\/p>\n Avoiding sugar is also key. Sugar contributes to inflammation, oxidative stress, and the internal aging process<\/a>. Internal aging leads to structural changes in the skin, leading to fine lines, sagging, wrinkles, and dryness.<\/p>\n Sleep is also a vital part of slowing down skin aging. According to a 2017 study, just two days of sleep restriction makes a person look older and less healthy. Regularly getting a full night\u2019s sleep (at least 8 hours) can make you appear healthier and more youthful.<\/p>\n So what else can we do to help our skin be its healthiest?<\/p>\n Most skincare products out there have toxic ingredients that can age us from the outside! Ingredients like parabens, toxic metals, and phthalates<\/a> can break down the skin barrier. They can also create free radicals and oxidative damage. Even retinol can be irritating and drying to the skin, doing more harm than good. It also doesn\u2019t remove senescent cells.\u00a0<\/p>\n Many of the so-called \u201canti-aging\u201d cosmetics out there could be accelerating aging. Irritating ingredients and toxins can increase the accumulation of senescent cells.<\/p>\n I love that OneSkin<\/a> has cutting-edge research into skin biology, genetics, and aging. The results speak for themselves. First, they have plenty of clinical studies to prove their products work. Second, co-founder Alessandra Zonari has a biological age 15 years younger than her current age!\u00a0<\/p>\n What sets OneSkin apart is its discovery of a new peptide called OS-01. Peptides are fragments of proteins, the structural components of the human body, including skin. The scientists at OneSkin studied over 900 different peptides before discovering a unique one they called OS-01.\u00a0<\/p>\n The OS-01 peptide really changes dermatology and anti-aging science. That\u2019s because it\u2019s the only peptide scientifically proven to reverse the skin\u2019s biological age. This means your skin could age at a slower rate than the years pass. Your skin could be younger than you are!<\/p>\n OS-01 peptide reduces the accumulation of senescent cells, helping the skin tissue look and behave years younger. It also supports collagen <\/a>and hyaluronic acid synthesis, which are considered biomarkers of healthy skin.<\/p>\n To offset the daily exposure to damaging oxidative stress, OS-01 peptide also supports repair pathways at the cellular level. As a result, the skin more effectively heals from sun damage and maintains its elasticity. That means you can still get vitamin D from the sun but not worry as much about damage.<\/p>\n Besides the OS-01, OneSkin has six other active ingredients in their Face formulation. These elements were selected to complement the peptide\u2019s ability to rejuvenate skin:<\/p>\n OneSkin includes OS-01 in all its products, including those in its Face and Body lines. The Face line includes an entire skincare routine, including a facial cleanser, daily moisturizer, and eye cream. They\u2019ve even created a sunscreen<\/a> to further protect the skin from UV rays.<\/p>\n OneSkin also has an OS-01 Body lotion to help reduce senescence throughout the body.\u00a0 And clinical research shows their Topical Supplement improves skin hydration while supporting the skin barrier. Seventy percent of study participants noticed improved skin texture.<\/p>\n I started using OneSkin products<\/a> after researching their ingredients and scientific development processes. It was important to me that they were truly clean and appropriate for all skin types before recommending them on Wellness Mama.<\/p>\n I got to try an early release of their eye product and I absolutely loved it! Their lotion is great as well. I tried it for the first time after a freezing cold, windy, and long day outside in the sun. My skin just drank up the lotion and instantly felt so much better.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can learn more by tuning in to my interview<\/a> with OneSkin co-founder Alessandra Zonari here.
