Tracks: Ingredients

Annette Tobia, Ph.D., takes us on a journey through the process of toxic sugars, from inflammation glycation and oxidative stress in the skin. She will explain how sugar can be detrimental to skin health. Her overview will illustrate how the body produces toxic sugar as part of the natural metabolic process, and how excess sugar consumption in the diet exacerbates the issue of glycation, among other health issues. Tobia then concludes by sharing her discovery of the enzymatic pathway that leads to inflammation and glycation, the proven method to intercept this process, and how this will restore moisture levels, elasticity, and skin texture and tone, all the while boosting collagen levels.
