What is Antioxidant used for?

Minimize Fine Lines and Wrinkles Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of the aging process. They occur as collagen and elastin production slow and gravity begins to take further effect over the facial skin, causing it to sag. Free radicals such as excessive sun exposure can accelerate the natural effects of aging. For this reason, antioxidants found in skin care products can help to ward against free radicals’ effects, slowing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants cannot reverse the damage that doesn’t occur as the result of free radicals on the skin. Reduce Age Spots Age spots, known as solar lentigines in the medical community, are harmless brown-, gray- or black-colored spots that appear on the skin. These spots occur when sun exposure speeds up melanin‚Äìa skin pigment‚Äìin the body. Over time, this melanin becomes more clumped together, resulting in age spots. Antioxidants in skin care products, particularly vitamin C, have been shown to offer benefits in the realm of reducing the melanin pigmentation on the age spot. This can lighten the age spot’s appearance in sum or part, improving skin appearance. Reduce Acne Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant. When applied to the skin, vitamin A goes deep into the pores to remove keratin plugs, one of the chief causes of acne papules and blackheads. Because the skin of people with acne also tends to produce excess amounts of oil, vitamin A also helps to reduce the overall level of oil in the pores and the pores are more open to circulate oil.
