  Biofunctional textiles for ageing skin
  Author(s): Elena Lockwood*
  
  The skin is the biggest organ in the human body, serving as the first line of defence against external aggressors such as UV radiation and air nanoparticulate pollution. On the one hand, the skin uses several antioxidant molecules to maintain its natural oxidative equilibrium. On the other hand, the major cause of skin barrier breakdown is ageing, which causes a disequilibrium in the physiological redox system. As a result, new creative cosmetic means, such as biodegradable non-woven tissues capable of loading, carrying, and releasing active chemicals in the appropriate skin layers, are required.
