Many of us are familiar with the term antioxidants. While there has been a lot mentioned in the media about the health benefits associated with consuming foods high in antioxidants, such as blueberries and raspberries, the use of antioxidants in our skincare products is proving to have equally impressive results when it comes to improving the appearance and texture of our skin.

Antioxidants are vital to help combat the damaging effects of free radicals and protect our skin and bodies cells. Free radical damage is caused by the effects of the suns harmful rays, pollution, cigarette smoke, unhealthy diets, medications and other external environmental factors. We consume antioxidants through certain foods but our skin also needs extra protection via topical applications as the skin is often the last to receive the benefits of antioxidants consumed orally.
