Soy Extract

Slowing the ageing process is on the radar for many mature women. Other than the most common ageing signs like fine lines and wrinkles, mature skin gradually tends to lose firmness, elasticity, and suppleness. Other somewhat irritating effects of the ageing process include hyperpigmentation and an increased number of hair follicles growing around the face. 

Soy extract is derived from soybeans and has long been considered the anti-ageing jewel from China, going back hundreds of years. It is full of proteins and nutrients, making it an ideal ingredient in skin care products with anti-ageing benefits like the promotion of the collagen stimulation and production.

There are many benefits to using products for your skin that contain Soy Extract.

 

Anti-Oxidant

Anti-ageing products also contain soy extract for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to help fight the production of free radicals in the body.

 

Repair Decreasing Elasticity in Skin

Women past menopause often slow down their production of the hormone oestrogen. Oestrogen promotes the development and maintenance of collagen among other female characteristics in the body. Skincare products containing soy extract can help post-menopausal women repair the increasing thinness of their skin and decreased elasticity.

 

Fight Ageing Effect

Soy extract is also known to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in our skin. Hyaluronic acid has the unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules in the body. Usually found in high levels in younger skin, this molecule helps fight the ageing effects of the skin sagging and lack of hydration and elasticity.

 

Fight Sun Damage

Protection from the elements is another important aspects of slowing the process. Soy extract helps to protect the skin against further damage from the outside world. Its components help to fight sun damage and damage from other environmental irritants like pollution and dry winds.

 

Provide Moisture

For mature combination skin, soy extract can be helpful in a moisturiser. This is because of its ability to provide moisture for dry areas while reducing shine and oiliness in other areas. Day and night creams that contain soy extract often help to soften and smoothen skin while evening out irregular skin tones.
