Hi!

Many internal and external factors determine how quickly our skin will age. The most dangerous are free radicals, smog, stimulants and the lifestyle we lead. Fortunately, there are ways to keep your young and beautiful look for a long time. All can be defined with one term: ANTIOXIDATION.

Antioxidants – what are they?

An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Thanks to them, free radicals are removed from the body, and the body’s ageing process is delayed. More importantly, antioxidants prevent the development of some civilization diseases. Antioxidants include vitamins, zinc, selenium, coenzyme Q10, bioflavonoids, carotenoids and tocopherols.

Oxidative stress

This is nothing else but interference in the balance between free radical production and their control by antioxidants. Free radicals damage DNA, cell membranes and proteins that are found in enzymes. When the body lacks antioxidants and oxidative stress persists indefinitely, serious diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke or diabetes may develop in the body.

Antioxidants in food

In order to preserve a nice and youthful appearance as well as to avoid serious diseases for as long as possible, you should eat properly. You will find antioxidants in green tea, fruit and vegetables. Healthy eating reduces the risk of falling ill and delays the body’s ageing processes.

Antioxidants in cosmetics

Cosmetics often contain specialized ingredients that protect our body against free radicals. These include vitamins, substances extracted from plants, thermal water and substances created in laboratories that are completely safe for the body. Their use in every day skin care routines will result in protecting the skin from the adverse effects of free radicals.
