What exactly are antioxidants?

What exactly are antioxidants?

To understand more about antioxidants, we must first be familiar with the term ‘free radicals’, as they both go hand in hand. In a nutshell, free radicals are unstable molecules that can wreak havoc on our skin, such as causing dark spots and fine lines. 

For more information on free radicals, see our previous blogpost. 

Now that you understand what free radicals are, what role do antioxidants play? 

Antioxidants help neutralise and balance out free radicals when levels get too high. As we are exposed to free radicals in our daily lives, it can be difficult to avoid them completely. 

Antioxidants help slow down and pause the effects of free radicals which can help protect us from diseases and/or skin damage which includes premature ageing! They protect the skin against oxidative damage caused by free radicals and against environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV exposure. Hence, incorporating antioxidants in our routine can help fight against them. 

Tip: Antioxidants are also known for their extremely powerful anti-ageing properties! They can also help brighten skin, calm irritation and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.


Where can antioxidants be found?

Antioxidants can be found in food such as kale, spinach, dark chocolate and blueberries. 

In terms of skincare, antioxidants are found in a large range of products, in the forms of Vitamins A, C and E.
