Glycation: The Sweet Thief of Youthful Skin
(and How Our Powerhouse Facial Can Help)
We all love a little indulgence now and then, but did you know that those sweet treats could be silently sabotaging your skin? At Reveal Skin & Body, we're passionate about helping you understand the factors that influence your skin's health and ageing process. Today, we're shining a light on glycation – a little-known culprit behind premature skin ageing – and how our new Powerhouse Facial can help combat its effects.
What is Glycation?
In simple terms, glycation is a process where sugar molecules attach to proteins in your body, including collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for keeping your skin firm, supple, and youthful. When they become damaged by glycation, your skin loses its elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and a dull complexion.
How Does Glycation Happen?
Glycation is a natural process that occurs as we age, but it can be accelerated by several factors, including:
High-sugar diet: Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can significantly speed up glycation.
Sun exposure: UV rays can trigger glycation and worsen its effects.
Smoking: Smoking generates free radicals, which can also contribute to glycation.
Signs of Glycation
Glycation can manifest in several ways on your skin:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sagging skin
Loss of elasticity
Dull, uneven skin tone
Yellowing of the skin
The Powerhouse Facial: Your Anti-Glycation Ally
Our new Powerhouse Facial is specifically designed to combat the signs of glycation and restore your skin's youthful vitality. It combines two powerful formulas:
A-Zyme Peel: This potent peel contains Retinol, a vitamin A derivative that stimulates collagen production and helps to repair the damage caused by glycation. It also includes Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple that helps to break down glycated proteins, reducing their negative impact on your skin.
Brightening Accelerator Mask (BAM): This mask is packed with antioxidants that help to neutralize free radicals and protect your skin from further damage. It also contains brightening agents that can help to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by glycation.

The Powerhouse Facial is a comprehensive solution that addresses multiple aspects of glycation, helping to:
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and repairing damaged proteins.
Improve skin tone and texture by exfoliating dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover.
