Antioxidants and Sunscreen
The Dynamic Duo

Every skin rejuvenation routine should include this dynamic duo, a powerful antioxidant and sunscreen, to consistently protect and heal the skin from sun damage.

There are a number of ways to incorporate this dynamic duo, antioxidants and sunscreen.

The first is to use a moisturizer with a good quality antioxidant ingredient along with a sunscreen component.

Another option is to layer your skin care treatments. Complete your usual routine but make sure that you include an antioxidant product whether that is a toner or moisturizer.

As your final step, apply a sunscreen or sunblock. Remember that it is critical to reapply regularly throughout the day, especially if you will be spending time out in direct sun.

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.

Topical antioxidants improve skin health

Antioxidants and sunscreen work in concert, reinforcing the other's ability to protect the skin from the potentially damaging effects of the sun.

What to look for in a sunscreen. . .

Sunscreen, as the name implies, screens out the skin damaging rays of the sun while sunblock actually blocks the sun damaging rays from reaching the skin.

Protecting the skin from the sun significantly reduces free radical activity which thrive in over exposure to sunlight. You don't want that!

Free radicals work to break down the collagen and elastin in the skin which in turn causes the skin to wrinkle, sag, and produce more melanin which in turn increases the occurrence of age spots.

Give your skin the most armor possible by using both antioxidants and sunscreen. That way you will achieve the equivalent protection of a well protected bunker rather than a camouflage net.
