photoaging

Photoaging is caused by the damaged DNA by UV light. The reaction of the inside skin is to release nitrous oxide to induce the production of melanin. Then the horny layer is thickened, and this may make the surface of the skin feel rough. The influences include epidermis (keratinocytes, melanocytes, and Langerhans cells), dermis (fibroblasts, collagen and elastin), blood vessels, and water-retaining substances between the cells. 

UV irradiation promotes the release of active substances which will cause the keratinocytes and keratinocyte stem cells may produce clones of abnormal cells. They are varying size, pycnotic nuclei with abnormal DNA, and an irregular growth pattern. They will leads to an impaired barrier (stratum corneum) and, subsequently, dry skin. The appearance will be thickened with rough skin.
Langerhans cells are in charge of immune functions. Irradiated Langerhans cells have fewer Birbeck granules and lose their dendrites. The above phenomena will progress into skin cancer, skin allergies, and prone to skin infections. 

Manifestation of wrinkles is due to fibroblasts produce less matrix substances of the dermis. One of the reasons is the loss of the anchoring fibrils below the basement membrane are destroyed by matrix metalloproteinase. Otherwise, collagen of the dermis is also destroyed by light. Collagen mRNA will be down-regulated, and with increased metalloproteinases.

The elastin fibers become thickened instead of forming a healthy fine mesh to support the skin. Elastin fibers are fractured by UV light, and they roll up into little balls, especially on the neck skin. The skin starts to sag as the defective action of elastin and diminished support from collagen.
The skin becomes dry are also because of the less glycosaminoglycans and other water-retaining molecules in the skin. UV light could also damage the collagen support around blood vessels which causes dilation of these vessels for poor circulation.

71.UVA and UVB Sun protection factor

UVA andUVB Sun protection factor SPF is Sun Protection Factor. The number is determined experimentally indoors by exposing human subjects to a light spectrum meant to mimic noontime sun.   The SPF number only relates to UVB protection.  UVA is measured by the other definition.  UVA protection is not measured through SPF numbers.  PA is the Japanese measurement of sun protection. It is one of protection grade of UVA  . UVA is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++. SPF(sun protection factor) Standard: ISO 2444: 2010 cosmetic sun protection test method in vivo determination of SPF (sun protection factor) Test by erythema Minimal dose: MED (minimal erythema dose) Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 290-400nm) Test skin type: type I~ III (ITA 0 >28 0 ) Duration: 16-24hrs after exposure UVA-PF (UVA protection factor)

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical damage . The main action of vitamin C is as an
