All of these cause oxidative stress, which can accelerate skin aging, bring out dark spots, dull complexion, and wrinkles.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, natural plant extracts, or green tea, help bind harmful free radicals, support cell regeneration, and contribute to keeping your skin radiant, even, and healthy.
If you smartly incorporate them into your daily routine, antioxidant skincare will yield significant results in the long term. More noticeable tone, less hyperpigmentation, fresher, younger-looking skin.
Cleaning – the first step of antioxidant care
Before any serum or cream is applied to your skin, it is important that it is clean. Throughout the day, impurities, sebum, and makeup residues accumulate on the skin's surface, which can clog pores and hinder the absorption of active ingredients.
-
For dry, sensitive skin, choose a gentle, mild cleanser.
-
For oily, combination skin, a foaming, deep cleansing formula is suitable.
Antioxidant serums and creams, choose wisely!
