Age Defense-AP Stress Relief Serum, 1/2 oz.

Elysee’s Age Defense-AP Stress Relief Serum was formulated to help counteract premature aging on the skin as a result of stress exposure while providing topical technology to help optimize the skin’s own housekeeping process.

Accelerated skin aging, as well as an increased sensitivity, may be the visible warning signs of continually, stressed-out skin. Stress on the skin can be defined as any external factors such as pollution, smoke, sleep deprivation, UV exposure and so on that disrupts skin’s natural balance. Prolonged stress exposure continues to produce cortisol (the stress hormone) in the skin leading to discoloration, ruddiness, and an visibly tired and worn look.

In addition, as the skin ages a key process called autophagy (also referred to as the skin’s own housekeeping process) is reduced.  Just as we need to “dust” our homes to keep things looking like new, we need to do the same for our skin to help delay the aging process.  What does this mean? Autophagy helps to rejuvenate the skin by combating against internal aggressors that can speed up the aging process.
