‘Stress Free’ – Scientific Basis for Natural Anti-Ageing Skin Care

Ageing is driven and controlled by intrinsic and extrinsic stresses, which cause damage to biomolecules including DNA. Accumulating findings indicate that longevity depends on the ability of the organism to cope with extrinsic or intrinsic stressors (Kirkwood & Austad, 2000).

  3. Metabolic processes; and
  4. Environmental stressors.
