Look younger by using Anti oxidants on your skin
Free radicals
Our skin is constantly exposed to pollutants and sunlight.
Ozone, cigarette smoke are among the many things that bombard our skin with a
lot of free radicals. These free radicals damage the proteins, fats and DNA in
our cells. Free radicals make our skin age more quickly.
Aging
Older skin looks dull and lifeless because new cells are
produced more slowly. Wrinkles and sagging are caused by the decline in
production of collagen. This lack of collagen leads to gaps in the dermis. These
gaps appear as wrinkles and fine lines.
Sunlight and aging
Sunlight contains UV rays which trigger the formation of free
radicals. The damage caused by free radicals is cumulative. The damage starts to
become visible years later as lines, wrinkles and change in skin color. Severe
sunburn in childhood can greatly increase the risk of skin cancer in adulthood.
Long periods of exposure to the sun in childhood can also increase the risk of
skin cancer later in life.
Taking oral supplements of antioxidants help as the antioxidants are able to render these free radicals harmless. Read Antioxidants and your health
for details.
Applying creams containing antioxidants like vitamins C and E or
other antioxidant rich herbal extracts can increase your skin's protection many
times more effectively than taking oral supplements alone. For example, applying
vitamin E cream on your skin increases the amount of vitamin E in your skin 10
to 12 times the normal levels within 24 hours. However the best protection is
still to avoid the sun's rays from 10 am to 4 pm.

Vitamin C serums
Vitamin C in topical creams and serums increase the level of
vitamin C in your skin. The skin cells would then thicken as vitamin C helps the
skin produce more collagen. This would restore skin tone, reduce lines and
wrinkles and improve the blood supply to the skin, leading to radiant, youthful
skin. A well known line of vitamin C skincare is Cellex C
Pycnogenol
Pycnogenol gel or cream strengthens capillaries, improving blood
circulation. Pycnogenol also stimulates collagen repair. Pycnogenol rejuvenates
the skin. I fell in love with a pycnogenol gel moisturizer. My oily skin loved
it. It was one of the rare anti-aging formulas my skin actually loved.
Nowadays, I take
pycnogenol as an oral supplement to find the free radicals from within. It
is a way more potent antioxidant than vitamin c or vitamin e.
