Antioxidants Skin Care Products
Antioxidants are substances and molecules that have been shown to slow, stop or neutralize cell oxidation and damage resulting from free radicals. Free radicals are formed from oxidation and through break down of food – our metabolism – and from environmental factors, such as sun exposure and smoke.
Free radicals and resulting cell damage have been attributed to accelerated and pre-mature skin aging, decreased immune system ability, and organ damage – decreasing life expectancy. Antioxidants act to stop the free radical cell damage and can be found in many fruits, vegetables and various plants and herbs, notably, those rich in beta-carotene, Vitamins A, C, and E, Lycopene, and Selenium.
Antioxidants skin care products focus on topically applied formulas to infuse naturally occurring active ingredients that have proven to be effective antioxidants. Green Tea, Idebenone, grape seed oil when combined with other skin care ingredients, provide protection from free radicals while infusing moisture and hydration leading to younger, more youthful looking skin. Skin products with Argireline and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) offer effective solutions to wrinkles, fine lines and loose and aging skin while protecting from free radical damage. |
