According to Francesco Clark, owner of skin care products, Clark's botanicals, sugar can indeed be a cause of wrinkles and aging faster.


"Refined sugar can make the aging of the skin through the natural process of glycation. Glycation is the state when the sugar molecule is absorbed into the bloodstream during the digestive process and make the coat protein molecules in your skin," Clark said as quoted from Bon appetit.

"The more refined sugar consumed, so the process of glycation in the body more and more. This makes the skin changes color, not healthy, lose elasticity, and wrinkles appear faster trigger," says Clark.

Apparently glycation affects protein molecules that form collagen and elasticity of the skin. According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, MD, dermatologist, sugar can indeed adversely affect the skin beauty.
