What you need to know about free radicals & antioxidants

“Antioxidants protect the skin by limiting free radical production, which can damage the skin and cause aging.” Dr. Timm Golueke

Antioxidants, you hear this term again and again when it comes to skin care. But have you ever wondered which ingredients are among the best antioxidants and what benefits they have for our skin? Our guide explains more!

FREE RADICALS

This word is often mentioned together with antioxidants, because the free radicals are repelled by them. But what exactly is behind it?

First of all: our bodies naturally produce free radicals but additionally they can also come from exposure to environmental factors like UV rays and pollution.

If the free radicals are too present in our body, it causes oxidative stress which can lead to aging, hyperpigmentation and other skin concerns.
