Why antioxidants important in skin care? Perhaps their main purpose is to catch and neutralize free radicals, that is, unstable oxygen molecules formed in the body under the influence of aggressive sunlight, cigarette smoke, bad pollution. They are chemically very active and ready to begin an oxidative process anywhere.
In the skin, free radicals begin to chaotically rush, joining healthy cells, and sow destruction around themselves, causing damage to cell membranes, interfering with established connections … On the face, their activity manifests itself in wrinkles, clogged pores, reduction in tone, elasticity and radiance of the skin.
Oxidation occurs throughout nature. Antioxidants are touted to reduce oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals.
- Vitamin E (tocopherols). Protects the epidermis from ultraviolet damage, reducing the formation of free radicals from exposure to UVA rays; Prevents damage to cell membranes; Reduces the loss of water from the skin and strengthens the barrier function of the skin.
- Vitamin C (derivatives of ascorbic acid) belongs to a group of strong antioxidants that repair skin damage. The necessary component for the synthesis of collagen.
- Amino acid complexes also act as antioxidants in cosmetics. Amino acids – the main components of all proteins present in the body – in skin care products work primarily as water-binding agents. Their next task is to restore skin cells. And only then they act as a defense against free radicals.
- Alpha-lipoic acid is a coenzyme that effectively eliminates radicals and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Beta-glucan is a strong anti-inflammatory drug, suitable for reducing redness and other signs of sensitive skin.
- Coenzyme Q10 slows the appearance of wrinkles, mainly by reducing UV damage; Stimulates the production of collagen, restores damage after oxidative stress.
All these antioxidants neutralize free radicals and fill the skin with useful components that slow the aging process.
