Antioxidants for Skin Rejuvenation

Antioxidants have long been hailed as a wonder cure for aging skin. But what exactly are they and what do they do? Let’s see.

Basically, an antioxidant is a molecule that can slow down or prevent the oxidation of another molecule. In molecular terms, the oxidation of molecules refers to a chemical reaction by which the electrons of that molecule are transferred to an oxidizing agent. The process produces free radicals that, in turn, lead to a cell-damaging, chain reaction.

Antioxidants prevent these chain reactions from happening by being oxidized themselves.

Skin can also be affected by free radicals. In fact, aging has been linked to the production of free radicals. Why does this happen?

Well, UV radiation is one of the major creators of free radicals. The chain reactions associated to free radicals damage skin cells and can lead to a number of skin problems such as wrinkles, dry skin and age spots. The good news is that antioxidants help skin regain its health.

Skin Care with Antioxidants

There are two types of antioxidants for skin: the ones that work from the inside out and the ones that work from the outside. The first type has to do with your diet while the second one is all about topical antioxidants for skin.

Let’s start with the first type. Your diet plays a key role in supplying your body with antioxidants. Some of the best antioxidants are:

* Vitamin A or Beta Carotene.

* Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid.

* Vitamin E.

In nature, beta-carotene is a vitamin that helps dark green, yellow and orange vegetables from the sun’s rays. Doctors believe that it fulfills the same function in the human body. Carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupes, peaches and apricots are all fruits and vegetables that are high in Vitamin A.

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant as well as fulfilling other roles in the body. Citrus fruits, green peppers, broccoli, raw cabbage, strawberries and leafy, green vegetables are all good sources of Vitamin C.

Vitamin E is known for protecting cell membranes and other lipid structures. Since the skin has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, it can greatly benefit from the protection of Vitamin E. You can find Vitamin E in whole grains, nuts, seeds, fish products and green vegetables.

Anti aging serum includes antioxidants and skin regeneration activators of naturally occurring skin serum.

Topical solutions and creams are the second type of antioxidants. All of the vitamins mentioned above can be added to topical products to help eliminate free radicals on the skin. Another substance that has recently been included in topical creams due to its excellent antioxidant properties is snail serum.

Snail serum (which is extracted from the common brown snail) contains complex molecular chains that are made up of glycans, peptides and proteins, enzymes and co-enzymes and oligoelements to protect the skin from oxygen-derived radicals. Since snail and human skin contain the same components, snail serum is a great addition to any antioxidant lotion.

Thanks to natural skin products based on snail serum you can deter the action of free radicals and take care of skin problems such as premature aging, wrinkles and fine lines as well as age spots.
