Are you looking to achieve radiant, youthful and healthy skin? If so, antioxidants are vital for both you and your skincare regimen! Antioxidants play an important role in preserving your skin’s health while simultaneously protecting your skin from free radicals in the environment. The term “free radicals” gets tossed around in the beauty industry quite frequently, so let’s break it down!
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that exist all throughout our environment. We often come in contact with free radicals daily, such as pollution, cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol consumption and more. Free radicals cause damage to your skin cells, which results in wrinkling, age spots, fine lines and even loose skin. Thankfully, antioxidants can help neutralize and counteract the damage caused by these free radicals!
Everything You Need to Know About Antioxidants
Antioxidants are substances that help protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals, so they’re commonly found in skincare products for their anti-aging benefits. Many skincare products include antioxidants such as:
Vitamin C: This antioxidant has anti-inflammatory properties, which means it helps reduce acne-induced inflammation. Vitamin C provides strong protection from sun damage and environmental stressors, while also boosting collagen production.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E provides moisturizing and healing benefits that help repair, strengthen and maintain your skin barrier. This antioxidant even enhances the effectiveness of other antioxidants!
Vitamin A: This antioxidant penetrates the skin by stimulating collagen production and accelerating cellular turnover and repair. Vitamin A helps thicken the dermis, which allows for more blood flow to the skin and often results in wrinkle reduction.
Antioxidants not only protect your skin from free radicals, but they can also repair damage that has been caused. At Deux Rosé Beauty Refinery, our flagship antioxidant product is SkinBetter’s Alto Defense Serum, which contains 19 different antioxidants! The Alto Defense Serum provides you with all-day antioxidant protection while also improving the appearance of uneven skin tone and redness.
