Do you know how to combat oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress is a physiological process that, at skin level, leads to the appearance of spots and wrinkles and to premature skin ageing.

It occurs when the skin is in an unbalanced situation as a result of internal and external factors.

The most common external factors that influence oxidative stress and the appearance of fine lines are smoking, alcohol consumption and also environmental factors such as pollution and sun exposure. 

It is essential to protect oneself against oxidative stress, which accelerates the appearance of visible signs of ageing such as spots and expression lines, making the skin fragile and dull. 

When free radicals affect the skin, it becomes less elastic and duller. The areas most affected when it comes to oxidative stress are the face, neck, hands and décolleté. 

NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants play a key role in the ageing process, as they are able to restore elasticity and radiance to the skin.

There are several natural substances that combine synergistically to help fight free radicals and signs of oxidative stress:

PAPAYA

Papaya contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress and has an antioxidant and anti-ageing action. It also performs a general support function for the organism.

POMEGRANATE

Pomegranate fruit contains polyphenols, especially Ellagic Acid, which protects the skin from oxidative stress and thus has a well-known antioxidant action.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C protects cells from damage by free radicals, which are responsible for cell oxidation. It performs an antioxidant action.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E promotes cell renewal and combats free radicals.
