Antioxidants in Skincare: Protecting Against Environmental Damage

Antioxidants is a term that’s often highlighted in the skincare world, but what exactly are antioxidants, and why are they so crucial for your skin? Their importance in shielding the skin from environmental damage and signs of aging is immense. In the blog, we’ll discuss the science behind antioxidants and explore our top skincare products enriched with these powerhouse ingredients. 

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are extremely important molecules that defend the skin against harmful UV radiation and neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause damage to skin cells, typically generated by environmental aggressors such as pollution, UV rays and stress. When these free radicals accumulate, they can speed up the aging process. Fortunately, by incorporating antioxidants into our skincare routines, we can effectively counteract accelerated aging and maintain healthier, more resilient skin. 

What are the benefits of antioxidants?

1. Brightens and evens skin tone
2. Boosts hydration
3. Protects against environmental damage
4. Combat signs of aging
5. Enhance skin repair and regeneration
