Do you the role of antioxidants when it comes to reducing wrinkles naturally? If not, then this article will definitely help you understand the important role they play in keeping your skin healthy and youthful, and even help you locate the best anti-aging skin care products possible.
The Role of Antioxidants For Reducing Wrinkles Naturally Most people just equate antioxidants to protecting the skin from free radical damage.
But what most people are not aware of the extent to which these free radicals cause wrinkle and fine line formation.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that steal electrons from your skin cells, which make up your skin matrix.
When these cells are damaged, your skin matrix is weakened and it becomes easier for wrinkles and other unwanted aging signs to form.
It's also important to know that now all antioxidants are created equal.
Some are not as effective for the skin because they are not molecularly small enough to penetrate through the skin's epidermis (or outer layer).
Others are not able to penetrate deep down enough to fully prevent free radical damage and premature aging signs.
If you didn't already know, your body produces it's own all-natural antioxidants to defend the skin from free radicals and other forms of oxidative stress.
But as you get older, these antioxidants are not produced as much naturally, so the body needs an additional source of them.
CoenzymeQ10 (or CoQ10) is a great example which is one of the first antioxidants to be depleted in the skin, and it's now commonly found in many types of skin care products.
The problem with most skin care solutions is they do not contain CoQ10 molecules that are small enough to penetrate through the skin.
This creates a problem, especially when they cannot even enter into your skin! And even if they can, they are certainly not small enough to get DEEP down into the skin where they are really needed most.
Thankfully though, science and cell rejuvenation technology has made way for new methods of making certain antioxidants small enough to be absorbed through the skin.
In fact, I personally use anti-aging products that contain CoQ10 in this special form.
