When you think of antioxidants, do you think of your morning cup of green tea, or the blueberries you ate with lunch? You’re not alone, and you’re not wrong, but did you know that antioxidants can also play an important role in your skincare routine?
Every day you expose your skin to free radicals, which are molecules in the environment that damage your skin and cause it to age prematurely. These free radicals can be generated by factors like stress, a poor diet, UV rays, infrared radiation or pollution, and they basically suck the life out of your skin. Scary, right? That’s where antioxidants come into play. Antioxidants are naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals that neutralize these free radicals, and protect your skin from the damage they cause.
But that’s not all! Each unique antioxidant also provides benefits to your skin. Some brighten skin tone, calm irritation, and even smooth fine lines. Needless to say, incorporating antioxidants into your skincare routine, day and night, is an important step to maintain the health of your skin.
