Say No to Aging Skin! 6 Anti-Aging Skincare Products to Freeze Time
UV rays, air pollution, lifestyle habits, and psychological stress all contribute to the production of “free radicals”. Free radicals are a highly reactive and unstable molecular species that attack other molecules and cells in our body to gain stability. These reactions lead to cell damage and cell death, a process also known as “oxidation” – a term you’ve probably heard of somewhere.
Oxidation speeds up your skin’s aging process, causing concerns such as wrinkles, a dull complexion, saggy skin, or hyperpigmentation.
Antioxidants – what are they, then?
Antioxidant = Anti free radical = Anti-aging!
Due to their characteristics, antioxidants are able to react with free radicals and stabilize them to reduce the damage done to your skin. So the stronger an antioxidant is, the stronger your skin’s defense against free radicals will be – the key to enjoying healthy skin and slowing down the signs of aging.
