Barbara Sturm explains how inflammation damages skin and causes redness, cystic acne, and wrinkles. While your immune system needs some inflammation to fight pathogens, chronic inflammation accelerates aging and increases risks for autoimmune disease and cancer. Controlling it improves both how your skin looks and your long-term health.
What exactly is inflammation and why is it so critical to understanding inflammation in skin health?
Inflammation is immune response we need. So when something enters the body, virus or bacteria, we need inflammation to appear to fight those things that come into our bodies. But if inflammation becomes chronicle and on a high level, then inflammation can be quite dangerous for us because it degrades our tissue. It starts chronicle diseases, autoimmune diseases. So inflammation goes together with all the things we don't want can cause cancer. And regarding our skin, everything we do we don't like about our skin. Redness, impurities like cystic acne, wrinkles, whatever we don't like about our skin goes together with inflammation. So it's very important to bring inflammation under control.
