Excessive sugar consumption leads to the appearance of wrinkles.
Dermatologist Anthony Rossi warned that excessive sugar consumption leads to premature aging. He revealed the harm of this popular product in an interview with Infobae.
According to Rossi, sugar causes oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. As a result, the degradation of collagen accelerates and the skin's protection from external aggressive factors, such as ultraviolet radiation and pollution, decreases, he explained.
Ultimately, due to these processes, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, becomes dull, takes on a yellowish tint, sags, and wrinkles appear on the face, added dermatologist Elizabeth Bahar Hauschmand. There is even a term "sugar face," which has been confirmed by several recent studies, she concluded.
