HOW DO ANTIOXIDANTS WORK?
Antioxidant substances prevent and slow down damage caused to cells by free radicals by binding to unstable molecules produced both naturally in the body and as a reaction to environmental stressors such as pollution.
WHY SHOULD YOU INTRODUCE AN ANTIOXIDANTS INTO YOUR ROUTINE?
Incorporating a daily Antioxidants product into your routine is like an insurance system for your skin, some of the main benefits including:
-Defense against pollution
Our skin takes in a daily beating from pollution and environmental stressors, which is what leads to things such as sagging, wrinkles and a dull skin tone. Antioxidants applied topically has the ability to intercept this kind of environmental attack
-Skin Firming properties
The vital substances in our skins surface overtime become depleted which is what causes firmness to decline. Antioxidants can help slow down this kind of deterioration leaving your skin looking and feeling firmer.
-Brighter complexion
Certain antioxidant products have the ability to improve the appearance of dull and uneven skin tones delivering a more healthy-looking complexion. Vitamin C in particular is very effective in brightening the skin.
