Abstract
Human skin is continually changing. The condition of the skin largely depends on the individual’s overall state of health. A balanced diet plays an important role in the proper functioning of the human body, including the skin. The present study draws attention to bioactive substances, i.e., vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, polyphenols, and carotenoids, with a particular focus on their effects on the condition of the skin. The aim of the study was to review the literature on the effects of bioactive substances on skin parameters such as elasticity, firmness, wrinkles, senile dryness, hydration and color, and to define their role in the process of skin ageing.
Highlights
Vitamin C promotes the formation of the epidermal barrier and collagen in the dermis, and these depend on the sodium–ascorbate cotransporters (SVCTs) pres protects against skin oxidation, helps to counteract skin ageing, and plays a role in the signaling of cell In growth differentiation, which are linked to the occurrence tissues pathways and organs
An increasing body of research suggests that a well-balanced diet significantly affects the skin ageing process
It is worth noting the substances that protect and restore the epidermal barrier, which reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), ensuring an appropriate level of skin hydration and protecting against external factors and the damage induced by inflammation
Summary
The skin protects against biological agents (potentially pathogenic microbes), chemical agents (corrosive, irritating and allergenic substances) and physical factors (sunlight, ionizing radiation, infrared radiation, and mechanical and thermal factors) It performs important functions in water and electrolyte balance (epidermal barrier and sweat glands), thermoregulation (thermoreceptors) and the immune response (skin-associated lymphoid tissues (SALT)). Oxidative stress in the skin [9] Both the intrinsic and extrinsic oxygen radicals, leading to protein and DNA damage, amino acid racemization, and processes are glycosylation, associated with leading biochemical disturbances the excessive of non-enzymatic to the abnormal(e.g., cross-linking of formation collagen fibers and oxygen radicals, leading to protein and DNA damage, amino acid racemization, and nonother structural proteins), as well as changes in the physical, morphological and physio enzymatic glycosylation, leading to the abnormal cross-linking of collagen fibers and other logical properties of the epidermis and dermis. The aim of the study was to present the effects of bioactives on skin parameters such as a wrinkled appearance, elasticity, firmness, senile dryness, hydration, and color, as well as their role in the skin ageing process
