Skin aging is one of most visible ageing process which occurs constantly
in our skin organ. According to the Clinical Centre of Nis, certain
plant extracts may have the ability to scavenge free radicals, to
protect the skin matrix through the inhibition of enzymatic degradation,
or to promote collagen synthesis in the skin, affect skin elasticity
and tightness(a). Other suggested that free radicals induced domino
effects in production of reactive oxygen species, can react with DNA,
proteins, and fatty acids, causing oxidative damage and impairment of
antioxidant system, leading injuries damage regulation pathways of
skin, including wrinkles, roughness, appearance of fine lines, lack of
elasticity, and de- or hyperpigmentation marks(b).
The degradation of the epidermal and dermal layers of the extracellular
matrix (ECM), the non-cellular component present within all tissues and
organs, such as UV Exposure, decline of lysosomal/endosomal cathepsin K,
S and V activity(c) as well as environment factors such as irregular
dryness, dark/light pigmentation, sallowness, severe atrophy,
telangiectases, premalignant lesions, laxity, leathery appearance and
deep wrinkling, etc., cause modification of the surface of skin
and the physical properties of that lead to skin aging. Certain foods
have been found to be effective in protect the skin against natural
aging, including green tea and garlic.
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a
species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native
to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese
medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure
cholesterol levels, natural antibiotic, etc.
In wrinkle formation, caffeic acid and S-allyl cysteine found in garlic
significantly inhibited the degradation of type І procollagen and the
expressions of MMPs in vivo and attenuated the histological collagen
fiber disorder and oxidative stress in vivo, through decreased oxidative
stress and inflammation by modulating the activities of NF-κB and AP-1,
and exhibited an indirect anti-oxidant effect by suppressing
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
expressions levels and down-regulated transcriptional factors(1). Its garlic's antioxidant properties may either prevent or delay chronic diseases associated with aging(2).
According to Aarhus University, garlic not only protected skin cell
from undergo aging process but also inhibited the abnormal growth of
skin cells, through its on long-term growth characteristics, morphology
and macromolecular synthesis of human fibroblasts(3).

Certain chemical ingredients, such as aloin, ginsenoside, curcumin, epicatechin, asiaticoside, ziyuglycoside I, magnolol, gallic acid, hydroxychavicol, hydroxycinnamic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids, etc. derived from herbs have been found to be intergraded into some cosmetic products in treating premature aging(d).
Puerariae Radix (Ge Gen)
Ge Gen is also known as Kudzuvine Root. The acrid, sweet and neutral herb has been used in TCM as
anti-arrhythmia, anti cancers, anti-oxidation, anti platelet coagulation, etc. and to lower blood sugar,
relax the blood vessels, improve memory, treat diarrhea, etc., as it raises Yang; clears Heat,
promotes generation of Body Fluids, etc., by enhancing the functions of spleen and stomach channels.
The study of the effect of Puerariae Radix (PR), a Chinese herb and a popular food in Asia in
Hyaluronic acid (HA) concentrations in the intercellular spaces of the epidermis and the
connective tissues of the dermis, showed to stimulate the HA production of normal human epidermal
keratinocytes (NHEK), in dose-dependent, due to its rich in isoflavone glycosides like genistin and
daidzin(43).

Huang Qi (Radix astragali)
Huang Qi or Bei Qi is also known as Astragalus root. The sweet herb
has been used as diuretic agent and to lower blood pressure, increase blood pressure, lessens
proteinuria, improve endurance, protect liver function, regulate blood sugar, etc. as it tonifies Qi,
raises Yang, strengthens the Defensive-Qi and the Exterior, expels toxins, etc. by enhancing the
functions of lung and spleen channels.
The study of non-fermented (HQNB) and fermented preparations (HQB) of Radix astragali on
hyaluronic acid (HA) production in primary human skin cells, showed that HQB significantly
stimulated HA production in both cultured primary human epidermal keratinocytes and human dermal
fibroblasts and increased the expression of hyaluronan synthase 3 and hyaluronan synthase 2 mRNA
in HaCaT cells and human fibroblasts, respectively in dose-dependent manners(42) .

Lavender
Lavender is a flower plant of the genus Lavandula, belonging to the family Lamiaceae,
native to Asia. The herb has been used in traditional medicine to treat painful bruises and aches,
to relieve various neuralgic pains, sprains, rheumatism, etc.
Suggestion of Lavender aromatherapy may potentiate to ease anxiety in patients undergoing minimally

In photodegradation and photooxidation, chemical composition and bioactive properties of Lavandula
angustifolia Miller essential oil, used conjunction with bee oglue showed that bee glue expresses a
highly protected lavender oil secondary metabolites from degradation and also preserved their
antiradical properties, both in in vitro antioxidant assays and in cell oxidative damage evaluations(41)
