Effects of Natural Polyphenols Against Skin Aging

Abstract

Aging is a natural process in humans that causes changes in the immune response, increasedfrailty and malignancy, and reduced skin elasticity. The ever-increasing global average age significantlyaffects the economic structure of countries by increasing expenditures on health and other social activitiesto ensure individual welfare. Therefore, it is important to determine the mechanisms of action ofenvironmental factors that cause health problems that have negative effects on quality of life at themolecular level in order to determine effective treatment and prevention strategies. Interest in the use ofnatural products in the battle against age-related neurological and dermatological asthma has recentlyincreased. Polyphenols are natural products that show many beneficial biological activities when taken intothe body in appropriate amounts. Regular intake of polyphenols from food and beverages showsantioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antitumor, antiobesogenic, antimicrobial, neuroprotective,and cardioprotective effects. At the same time, polyphenols have a high potential for the prevention of agerelated dermatological problems, and therefore further studies on dietary polyphenols are important to betterunderstand these protective effects.
