You can avoid premature skin ageing by controlling the activity of free radicals, using antioxidants. Free radicals are produced by UV rays or when your body breaks down food. Antioxidants are included in cosmeceuticals to limit the production of free radicals that destroy the collagen in the skin cells.  

There are other roles of antioxidants on the skin and these include:

1. Skin firming
2. Anti-inflammatory
3. Reduce the appearance of scar tissue
4. More youthful skin appearance
5. Repair sun damage
6. Clearing pore congestion

Cosmeceuticals and antioxidants

Natural antioxidants are substances like Green Tea, vitamins A, C and E, Lycopene and Resveratrol. Even though many cosmetics claim to contain these substances, it is important to know the quantity and the stability of the specific compound they include. Also, it is important that the antioxidant reaches the deep layers of the skin so the production of collagen can continue. This is one of the advantages of using Cosmeceuticals for your skin care.

Oxidation and Oxygenation are two different things

Even though Oxygen is involved in both these processes, oxidation implies tissue decay and oxygenation ensures tissue revival. Antioxidants protect from the harmful effect of free radicals from oxidation that can destroy collagen. Oxygenation, on the other hand, is essential for the health of the cells, the normal blood circulation and the formation of proteins that maintain the elasticity of the skin.
