Antioxidants are substances that fight against oxidation damage in the body caused by free radicals. Free radicals are destructive and unstable oxygen molecules believed to cause aging, cancer, and even cardiovascular disease. The skin expresses free radical damage as unsightly wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and loss of tone and moisture. Fortunately, topical antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, E, green tea and other antioxidant compounds found in creams and lotions can help your skin retain its youthfulness. For instance, the antioxidants Vitamin C, E and Selenium have been proven to decrease the long term effects of the sun on the skin. Regular application is highly recommended for protecting your skin against oxidation, as well as protection from environmental damage. Most skin care experts agree that topical antioxidants are an essential part of any successful anti-aging skin care regimen.
