Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress can break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and youthful. Over time, this damage accelerates the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Inflammation can stimulate excess melanin production, leading to dark spots or patches on the skin. Oxidative stress makes those spots more pronounced.


Inflammation can cause clogged pores to become infected, leading to painful pimples, cysts, and redness. Oxidative stress weakens the skin’s barrier, making it more prone to irritation and inflammation.

Night time is a critical period for skin and hair health, inflammation can persist or even worsen at night due to factors:
Cortisol, a hormone that regulates inflammation, is lower at night. As cortisol drops, the body’s ability to suppress inflammatory responses also diminishes, allowing inflammation to worsen.
The skin loses more water at night, which can make inflammatory conditions like eczema, acne, or rosacea flare up due to the increased dryness.
Poor sleep patterns or stress can interfere with the body's circadian rhythm, which impacts the natural healing processes and immune system function, leading to chronic inflammation.
