Antioxidants play a significant role in anti-aging. Not only do antioxidants fight against free-radical damage that is responsible for the signs of aging on your skin, they also intensify the effectiveness of sunscreens in preventing sun damage. Antioxidants work well because they work day and night.
So which antioxidant is best for you?
There are hundreds of antioxidants included in top skincare products, but they don’t need to be exotic or phenomenal in order for them to do wonders for your skin. You can start with the most well-known ones — there are many potent, stable and well-researched antioxidants out there.
Vitamin E: Also known as tocopherol or tocotrienols, Vitamin E is one o the most popular antioxidants. It is a fat-soluble vitamin available in both natural and man-made forms. Vitamin E protects cell membranes from oxidation and premature damage from sun exposure. It also has a synergistic effect when used with Vitamin C.
Vitamin C: It is a potent antioxidant that helps in the healing of wrinkles, dullness and brown spots. Vitamin C increases collagen production and enhances the skin’s repair process.
Retinol: Retinol is Vitamin A. It helps create better, healthier skin cells and increase the production of ceramides. Retinol stimulates collagen production, and, as a result, firmer and smoother skin is achieved.
Green Tea: Green tea binds collagen together in your skin. It also reduces UV damage and inflammation. Because of this, retinol gives you a youthful glow.
