Our skin loses its moisture and elasticity as we age, resulting in wrinkles, saggy skin and liver or age spots. Elastin and Collagen are two main proteins of connective tissues that allow many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting but the levels of Collagen and Elastin decrease with our age which makes our skin weak, thin and loose. So what causes skin damage? Free Radicals are the culprit behind the aging process. One free radical can lead to a chain of free radicals that damage our skin and this process is called Oxidation. Slowly it will start damaging our skin cells by taking the moisture away, leaving our skin feeling dry, de-hydrated, itchy that ultimately results in Wrinkles. Apart from Wrinkles, Crow’s feet and Uneven Skin Tone it will also make our skin saggy and baggy. And here comes our rescuer, Antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. They fight free radicals and prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.
