Antioxidants are essential to helping your skin look amazing (and ensuring it stays that way). First off, antioxidants can help shield your skin from harmful free radicals - these pesky molecules stress to skin, prematurely lowering collagen production and causing wrinkles to show up earlier than we’d like.
However, that’s not the only thing that antioxidants have up their sleeves - some antioxidants, like Vitamin C, have the power to fade dark spots, boost collagen production, and protect skin from environmental stress. And yes, that’s all at the same time!
There’s an antioxidant out there for everyone - other than Vitamin C, examples of antioxidant skincare ingredients include Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, and Rosehip Oil.
