Skin glycation can lead to collagen breakdown, skin laxity, fine lines and discoloration of the skin. Glycation is the combination of glucose and proteins in the body without enzyme catalysis to form irreversible non-enzymatic glycosylation end products. When glycation occurs in the skin, glucose binds to collagen in the skin to form non-enzymatic glycosylation end-products (AGEs), which can disrupt the elasticity of the skin, leading to skin laxity, and possibly the formation of fine lines, as well as leading to dullness of the skin, localized uneven distribution of pigment, and ultimately, discoloration. Skin glycation can be minimized in daily life by avoiding high-sugar foods such as cakes, milk tea, chocolate and cookies. If skin glycation occurs it is recommended to visit a dermatologist at a hospital.
