The Role of Antioxidants in Skincare

Antioxidants are molecules that fight some of the more obvious signs of aging and protect skin against environmental damage, often found in supplements, fruits, and vegetables.

Anti-Aging Skincare Products Anti-Aging skincare products focus on preventing and mitigating the effects of oxidative stress, which occurs when unstable molecules called free radicals damage cells and DNA, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness and discoloration. Oxidative stress can be caused by pollution, smoking, alcohol intake, lack of sleep or diet as these factors increase production of these unstable molecules that result in their breakdown.

Antioxidants in skincare products will act to neutralize free radicals by giving back electrons they had taken from your cells - this makes antioxidants so important in maintaining skin health and beauty routines.

Vitamins and minerals provide antioxidants, but your body also produces glutathione which is one of the most potent and effective anti-oxidants for skin health as it helps combat free radicals and protect from various  Conditions, including acne.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is another powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation, hydrate skin cells, fade hyperpigmentation and fine lines, as well as strengthen its barrier function and lessen sun exposure damage.

Retinol is another wonderful antioxidant to add into your skincare routine to treat an array of issues, from dryness and acne to uneven skin tone and dark spots. As this may dry some people out or irritate sensitive skin, retinol should preferably be applied before bedtime rather than during the daytime.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is another key component of many anti-aging serums and moisturizers, and its fat-soluble form provides significant antioxidative benefits to your skin. Tocopherol works especially well at neutralizing free radicals while serving as a protective barrier from UV rays; hence it's often found in sunscreen products.

Green tea extract is another antioxidant known to boost immunity and repair any damage done by ultraviolet radiation, making it a key component in products designed to shield skin from its damaging effects - but you can use Revitalash NZ directly too for similar results.

Resveratrol, extracted from red wine, berries and grapes is an underrated antioxidant with the potential to fight free radicals in your skin and improve its overall complexion.

They're especially beneficial when applied directly to skin or combined with an antioxidant-rich moisturizer; don't neglect including them into your routine!
