Antioxidant Skin Care
Everywhere you turn these days, you hear the word "antioxidant." We are urged to eat foods containing antioxidants to prevent disease, and to use antioxidant skin care products to prevent damage to our skin. But what is an antioxidant, really, and what does it do?
Oxidation is a normal byproduct of metabolism, but it does cause cell damage and is believed to be the major cause of aging, as well as many diseases. Smoking, excessive use of alcohol, and exposure to sunlight and pollution accelerates the process of oxidation and the production of free radicals.
a free radical is an unstable product of oxidation. It is an atom or a piece of a molecule that is missing an electron, so it steals it from another cell to become stable again. That results in damage to the pilfered cell. antioxidants are chemical substances that bind with free radicals to prevent that damage. Once it has stabilized a free radical, it can no longer function as an antioxidant, so your supply must be continually replenished.
For general health, you can get antioxidants in a wide range of foods. To repair and prevent damage to your skin, you should apply antioxidants topically. Janson Beckett Cosmeceuticals offers a regimen of skin care that includes alphaDerma CE, DermaExcel 7 and Vitamin C&C Facial Serum. The powerful antioxidants in these products will protect your skin against environmental damage. additionally, alphaDerma CE and DermaExcel 7 contain peptides to fight wrinkles and DMaE to tighten sagging skin and even out skin tone. Beautiful, healthy skin has never been easier!
