5 Must-Have Anti-Aging Antioxidants Your Skin Needs

In this blog post we're going to reveal the best antioxidants your natural skin care products must-have to achieve radiant looking skin all year long.

What is an antioxidant?

Antioxidants fight free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that can cause damage to different components in cells, such as the DNA, proteins, outer barrier, and the matrix. When there many free radicals, and fewer available antioxidants you may experience what you call oxidative stress which plays a role in premature aging of the skin, hyperpigmentation, triggering inflammatory conditions like eczema and acne, as well as skin cancers.

The best must-have antioxidants to try!

1) Vitamin A

Topical vitamin A in the form of retinol (typically found in over-the-counter products) and retinoic acid (in prescription creams) are known as wrinkle-fighters and are typically the go-to solution for combating signs of aging. Research has shown that vitamin A is able to stimulate collagen production. That's important because when collagen is damaged due to UV rays and other aggressors, you'll see wrinkles start to develop. Additional benefits of vitamin A includes lightening sun-induced brown spots, and helping clear up acne to help deliver an even-toned, radiant complexion.
