" Skin is often the first organ in our body that shows the signs of ageing."
Skin is the largest organ in our body that acts as a barrier between us and the external environment. As part of the body's defense mechanism, skin is our first layer of protection against extreme temperatures, harmful elements and pathogens.
Skin Ageing Process
Our skin is constantly exposed to various internal and external ageing factors like genes, health condition, weather, pollution and UV radiation. Due to these constant exposures, skin is often the first organ in our body that shows the signs of ageing. Ageing happens because our body can't renew all the damaged cells and tissues.

Intrinsic Skin Ageing
Intrinsic skin ageing is determined by genetic predisposition, hormonal changes and health condition. Skin colour plays a crucial role in skin ageing. People with darker skin tone have more melanin pigments in their skin that help protect against UV-induced damage. Hormonal changes, particularly during and after menopause can accelerate the skin ageing process. In men, the decline in testosterone production makes the skin age faster.
By nature, the skin around the eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of our face; making it more susceptible to premature signs of ageing. To help prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines and pigmentation spots, use Bio-Collagen Ageless Cream every morning and evening. Formulated with niacinamide, n-acetyl glucosamine and 24-karat gold, this award-winning anti-wrinkle cream smoothes out wrinkles, reduces pigmentation spots and brightens dark circles.
Extrinsic Skin Ageing
Apart from hormonal changes, genetic and health conditions, the skin ageing process is also hugely influenced by the external factors such as pollution, weather conditions and UV radiation. These external ageing factors can trigger free radical formation in the skin and cause oxidative stress and inflammation.
To protect your skin from free radicals and oxidative damage, apply award-winning Bio-Collagen Serum to freshly cleansed face and neck every morning and evening. Specially formulated for menopausal and post menopausal skin with resveratrol, ferulic acid, coenzyme Q10 and 24-karat nano gold; this collagen-boosting serum firms, lifts and plumps up the appearance of the skin. It reduces the effects of biological and environmental ageing factors. For best results, apply Bio-Collagen Serum underneath Bio-Collagen Ageless Cream.
