What is all the hype about Antioxidants?
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 20 years, you've probably heard that UV radiation from the sun causes up to 90% of photoaging, which manifests itself as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer. Also known as Bad stuff.
So, what do I need to do to protect myself, stay inside all day? Great question, and the answer is no. Make sure you always use sunscreen!
However, even the best broad-spectrum sunscreens can only block up to 55% of the damaging free radicals from UV exposure, so it is vital to use an effective topical antioxidant DAILY to neutralize the remaining UV-induced free radicals from the INSIDE.
SKINCEUTICALS ANTIOXIDANTS ARE CLINICALLY PROVEN and designed to provide the most advanced protection from environmental aging. When used together, SkinCeuticals antioxidants and sunscreens provide ultimate photoprotection - preventing the visible signs of photoaging, and promoting optimal skin health.
The human body uses many internal antioxidant mechanisms to defend itself from oxidative damage, but excessive exposure to ultraviolet light as well as the natural aging process depletes the body of its internal supply of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent oxidative damage by neutralizing oxygen-free radicals before they can attack the body. Some antioxidants are available to the body by oral ingestion, but many individuals do not achieve even the minimum daily requirement through diet or supplements.
Furthermore, body control mechanisms tightly control the amounts available by oral ingestion to the cells. SkinCeuticals scientists and formulators have refined ways to stabilize and deliver additional amounts of key antioxidants into skin, thus adding to the bodys natural reservoir of antioxidants. Continued research has demonstrated that properly formulated antioxidant combinations work synergistically to provide enhanced benefit. Recent studies show that topical application of optimized antioxidant combinations can provide up to eight-fold antioxidant protection, ninety-six percent reduction of sunburn cells, and prevent the formation of thymine dimers in UV irradiated skin.
