Antioxidants: The Protective Shield Against Free Radicals

Antioxidants are the bodyguards of our skin. They protect against harmful free radicals, prevent premature skin aging and ensure a radiant, even complexion. Learn here how antioxidants work and with which products you can optimally protect your skin!

What are Free Radicals?

Free radicals are aggressive oxygen compounds caused by UV radiation, environmental pollution, stress and unhealthy lifestyle. They attack cells and thus accelerate the skin aging process. The consequences: wrinkles, pigment spots, a dull complexion and the loss of firmness and elasticity.

How do Antioxidants Work?

Antioxidants are the natural antagonists of free radicals. They neutralize the unstable molecules and render them harmless before they can attack cells. Thus, antioxidants protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.

The most important antioxidants in skincare include:

• Vitamin C: The power vitamin protects, stimulates collagen production and ensures a radiant complexion.
• Vitamin E: It strengthens the skin barrier, provides moisture and has anti-inflammatory effects.
• Resveratrol: The polyphenol from grapes is a strong antioxidant and anti-aging agent.
• Coenzyme Q10: It protects cells, supports cell renewal and reduces wrinkles.

The Best Antioxidant Boosters for Your Skin

The Vitamin C Serum Face with Hyaluronic Acid is a highly effective antioxidant booster. It protects the skin from free radicals, stimulates collagen production and ensures an even, radiant complexion.

The Luminous Glow - Vitamin C & Anti-Aging Serum also combines vitamin C with other antioxidants such as Q10 for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. It protects, reduces pigment spots and makes the complexion glow.

The NUVASKIN™ AgeDefy - Activating Serum contains vitamin E in addition to Q10, thus offering comprehensive protection against free radicals. At the same time, it reduces wrinkles and provides intense moisture.

Tips for Using Antioxidants

Antioxidant serums and creams should be applied to cleansed skin in the morning before makeup or sun protection follows. This way, they can optimally unfold their protective effect.

Combine antioxidants with a high sun protection factor to protect your skin all-round from harmful influences. You can find products with SPF in our Sun Protection Collection.

You can also supply your skin with antioxidants from the inside. Reach for colorful fruits and vegetables, green tea and nuts - they are rich in antioxidant nutrients.

In conclusion, antioxidants are indispensable for healthy, youthful skin. They protect against free radicals, prevent premature skin aging and give a radiant, even complexion. With the right products and a balanced diet, you can optimally supply your skin with these protective boosters!
