Dr Rozina Ali from Horizon |
So after watching Horizon The Truth About Looking Young last night i thought to myself that i would discuss some points regarding skin and looking young and what is on the market now to help us and what might be on the market in the future such as would an actual UVA/UVB Pill be possible and in the programme they said it would be possible because the "ingredients" if you will are found in natural and could be made into pill form
Imagine- You take a pill once a day and it protects you from the damage of the sun it will protect against the ageing properties of UVA and the Burning properties of UVB from the suns radiation on our skin. Apparently it will be absorbed into our cells and protect them which I find amazing
The doctor who was leading this experiment said that within 5 years there might be something like this on the market.
My thoughts were that who ever is going to be able to manufacture something of this magnitude will revolutionise the way he see sun protection no more creams just one simple pill once a day to protect against sun damage. This might sound bad but from a business stand point imagine how much money and fame you could make from something like this it would be astronomical
If you think about it right now there are things on the market that are supposed to help us stave off ageing notice i said "supposed to" if this comes around even from the protection we will look younger for longer, right now there are things like collagen pills or collagen creams on the market which are supposed to make our skin better more firm and younger when in fact it is a big lie. The Collagen molecule is basically what gives our skin the youthful bounce and glow once we age and get older it starts to disappear due to different facts like environment and so on but this is where the "con" comes in i guess you could call it. Collagen is too large of a molecule to be adsorbed through the skin or to be even metabolised in our systems so its just either icing or a dummy pill as it does nothing, in the sense of being icing, the collagen will fill your wrinkles and make everything look plump until it wears off or is removed as i said above it has no long term effects because it cannot be absorbed or metabolised
They also talked about another pill you could take which would basically rewind time not to a massive extent but the extent of refining wrinkles, woman were put on this pill for 14 weeks and after 14 weeks there were changes nothing massive but a step in the right direction, it was basically something that could help regenerate the collagen basically the fibroblasts would stop being like spaghetti and start to produce more collagen
anyway sorry for this massive long worded post i just wanted to discuss it with everyone
What do you think?
Could we see a change in ageing?
