Antioxidant Skincare
Give Your Skin The
Ammunition it Needs
to Win the Aging Wars
Antioxidants
in skin care is a critical component to any anti-aging routine.

By including antioxidants in your
rejuvenation regimen the skin's
ability to protect and heal increases significantly.
In addressing aging skin issues, it isn't enough to have a diet rich in
antioxidants. Topical
applications of antioxidants are also important to give
the skin cells ample protection against the destructiveness of free
radicals.
Think of it
this way, free radicals are
oxidants ~ the enemy!
Free radicals
ravage the skin, stealing from healthy skin cells.
Free radical activity creates skin damage evidenced by the formation of
wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity and
assorted other aging skin care issues including the potential for skin
cancer.
Free radical activity is promoted by exposure to environmental
pollution, sunlight, smoking, and poor dietary habits.
The
more exposure to these unsavory elements, the more that free
radical activity will occur and the more damage will be apparent to the
skin. It's quite the vicious circle!
Whew!
Had enough yet?
Did you happen to notice that it is the antioxidants that neutralize
oxidants?
It's a ying and yang even
in skin care!
Consider
antioxidants the armor and ammunition
your skin needs to
battle the oxidants.
Daily replenishment of topical
antioxidants
provides the skin with an arsenal to deflect the assault and minimize
the damage created by free radicals is essential.
Your ammo should include at
least one antioxidant skin care product but the
more the better.
The most common options easily found in antioxidant skincare products
are numerous, including:
And for goodness sake, remember the sunscreen!
Layering different skin care
treatments increases the
variety of active anti-aging ingredients to promote facial
rejuvenation. . .
