Antioxidants might be something you hear about frequently and know is beneficial, but many people don’t really know what antioxidants are or what they do. Keep reading to learn more about antioxidants and why they’re a crucial component of skincare!

What are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are chemical molecules that protect your body from free radicals. Your body naturally produces antioxidants, and you’ll also find several types of antioxidants in various foods. 

So what are free radicals, and why do you need antioxidants to fight them off? Free radicals are unstable molecules that take electrons from other substances and can damage cells’ DNA and proteins. While free radicals are a necessary part of many biological processes, too many can be very harmful and contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. That’s why antioxidants are essential to prevent unhealthy levels of free radicals.

Common antioxidants you’re probably familiar with include vitamins C, E, and A. In addition to the naturally occurring antioxidants in your body, you also need to consume other types of antioxidants in your food. Many types of fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, as well as poultry, egg yolks, and fish.

Benefits of Antioxidants

As your body’s defense against free radicals and the oxidative stress they can cause, antioxidants are important to your overall health. However, they also have several specific benefits you can take advantage of.

Antioxidants like vitamin C help keep your skin healthy and youthful. Since free radicals can cause premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and inflammation like acne, fighting them with antioxidants is a great way to promote a clear complexion.
