ANTIAGING BENEFITS FROM ANTIOXIDANTS
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Antioxidants fight the free radicals that cause damage and premature aging. They help repair past damage and prevent future damage. Antioxidant skin care helps in achieving youthful skin, and maintaining it by assisting in the production of collagen and elastin. One of the most popular antioxidants is
topical vitamin C. It performs three different functions in skin metabolism: as an antioxidant, as an inhibitor of melanin, and as a stimulator of collagen synthesis. As an antioxidant, vitamin C prevents or suppresses the development of skin cancer caused by UVA/UVB exposure by preventing the mutation of the thymine dimer cells that cause melanoma. As a melanin inhibitor, vitamin C helps to lighten the skin. And by stimulating collagen synthesis, vitamin C accelerates skin firming and helps to prevent fine lines. “SKINCEUTICALS ANTIOXIDANTS ARE CLINICALLY PROVEN and are designed to provide the most advanced protection from environmental aging. SkinCeuticals antioxidants provide ultimate photoprotection- preventing the visible signs of photoaging, and promoting optimal skin health”.
The result — a strengthened support structure on the inside and a more youthful, firm, radiant appearance on the outside.
