Antioxidants for the skin: discover all their benefits

Antioxidants are molecules with the ability to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable and highly reactive molecules that can damage the body's cells, including skin cells.

The function of antioxidants is to protect our body's cells against damage caused by free radicals, which are produced as a result of sun exposure, pollution, stress and other environmental factors. The skin is one of the organs most affected by these free radicals, so antioxidants are especially beneficial for skin health.

How do antioxidants work on the skin?

Antioxidants for the skin work by preventing the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative damage occurs when these molecules attack and damage skin cells which can lead to the development of wrinkles, dark spots and other signs of aging.

Antioxidants can also help to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, another major cause of premature skin aging, reduce inflammation in the skin and stimulate collagen production which helps the skin to remain soft and supple.

This ingredient can be found in many foods and skincare products, such as fruit and vegetables, essential oils, and skin creams and lotions. By including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet and using skincare products containing antioxidants, you can protect your skin from the harmful effects of your environment and keep it healthy and radiant.

Antioxidants for oily skin

Antioxidants for oily skin can also be very beneficial for people with acne or excess sebum as they help reduce sebum production, tighten pores, even tone and improve overall texture, resulting in even and luminous skin, less shine and fewer blemishes.
