Many people overlook antioxidants when planning their skincare routine, but this leaves out an important part of skincare. Here are five reasons you don’t want to miss out on the benefits of antioxidants:
Skin-firming
“With the aging process, our skin loses its firmness. In order to prolong healthier-looking skin, products containing antioxidants will encourage a younger firmer look,” mentions Natalie Smith, a licensed medical aesthetician and certified laser technician at Sanova Dermatology in San Antonio, Texas.
Anti-inflammation
Antioxidants improve circulation in the skin, which calms inflammation. This results in less acne and fewer wrinkles. Antioxidants also brighten your skin to produce a more even skin tone.
Diminishes wrinkles
“Antioxidants stimulate collagen production, which diminishes and soften wrinkles. It also gives your skin a more youthful look and feel,” notes Smith.
Minimizes scars
Scar tissue is more rigid than normal skin, which makes it difficult to get rid of. Antioxidants increase blood flow to scar tissue, which helps minimize scars.
Repairs sun damage
In addition to diminishing wrinkles, increased collagen production also helps repair sun-damaged skin. Antioxidants do this by stimulating the growth of new skin cells. Repairing sun damage is an important step to reducing your risk of developing skin cancer.
Here are two great ways to incorporate antioxidants into your skincare routine:
Skinceuticals CE Ferulic
Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is a powerful vitamin C serum that protects the skin from Ozone, environmental factors, and sun damage; brightens the complexion; reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps your skin stay firm.
This product works best on normal, dry, and sensitive skin types.
Skinceuticals Phloretin CF
Skinceuticals Phloretin CF is a powerful vitamin C serum that protects the skin from environmental damage caused by the sun and other pollutants. “It also combats acne and signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration,” Smith says.
This product works best on normal, oily, and combination skin types.
