Most powerful antioxidants in cosmetics
..
Antioxidants are active ingredients that neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from accelerated aging. Their presence in cosmetics is the foundation of effective care. The formulas developed by HDRÈY are based on exceptionally powerful antioxidants - vitamin C and astaxanthin. What is worth knowing about them?
.
Every day the skin has to face the damaging effects of external factors, but its condition is also affected by processes inside the body. Among the most important are the harmful effects of free radicals, that is, such oxygen molecules that, by their reactivity, cause the degradation of body cells - including the skin.
How do free radicals harm the skin?
.The consequences of oxygen free radicals can be observed with the naked eye. These include:
- photostaging - accelerated aging caused by UV radiation,
.- wrinkle formation and loss of firmness - free radicals degrade collagen and elastin, leading to sagging skin,
.- pigmentation and uneven skin tone - the action of free radicals disrupts the natural production of melanin, resulting in the appearance of spots.
.All these phenomena and many other problems are counteracted by antioxidants. No wonder they have made a great career in advanced, innovative cosmetology.
.What are antioxidants?
.Antioxidants are chemical compounds that inhibit the action of free radicals. They act at different stages: they can block the formation of new free radicals, neutralize those already present in the body, repair damaged cellular structures and promote the production of antioxidant enzymes. Antioxidants are divided into exogenous, which we supply from outside, such as in the diet or cosmetic preparations, and endogenous, which the body produces on its own. In cosmetics, exogenous antioxidants play a key role in protecting the skin from oxidative stress and delaying the aging process.
.How do antioxidants work?
.With antioxidants, the skin is better able to cope with challenges, which include:
.1. oxidative stress, caused by environmental factors - UV radiation and pollution,
.2. inflammatory processes, which can lead to irritation and the formation of imperfections,
.3. loss of firmness, by promoting the natural production of collagen and elastin.
.Most powerful antioxidants in cosmetics with powerful antioxidant activity
.Exceptionally intense action that protects the skin and even restores its lost qualities is the feature of two powerful active ingredients.
.The first of these is astaxanthin - a natural carotenoid, the most famous and effective antioxidantin modern cosmetology. Astaxanthin:
.- neutralizes free radicals, which effectively slows down the skin aging process,
.- protects against UV radiation, thus minimizing the effects of photoaging,
.- improves skin firmnessby stimulating collagen and elastin production.
.. The other extremely powerful antioxidant is vitamin C. In advanced HDRÈY cosmetics it is present in the form of a complex of three forms, thanks to which it has a multidirectional effect:.
- .
brightens skin and evens skin tone, eliminating discoloration. In addition, it lightens hyperpigmentation due to its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity,
