Have you ever heard of free radicals? Free radicals are small molecules that have a huge impact on our skin. The human body naturally produces free radicals, however, external influences such as sun exposure, pollution, stress, and your diet can contribute to the amount of free radicals released. Unfortunately, free radicals cause oxidative damage to your skin, resulting in inflammation and (premature) skin aging. Luckily, there is no need to worry: antioxidants are coming to your skin’s rescue 😊 Antioxidants are molecules that counteract free radicals, by preventing oxidation and especially diminishing the damaging effects of free radicals. 🧴 When used in combination with a broad-spectrum protection SPF, antioxidants support the protective effects against UV damage 🧘‍♀️ Antioxidants help to reduce inflammation caused by free radicals and may have a soothing effect on stressed skin 🕰️ Premature skin aging caused by external influences such as UVA-rays, pollution or stress can be slowed down by antioxidants, as they protect the skin against extrinsic aging and provide a youthful look #babor #skincare #skinaging #antioxidant #inflammation #vitaminc #vitamine #niacinamide
