Better skin through antioxidants
Unstable free radical molecules, like those produced by pollution and sun exposure, can attack the electrons in your skin cells, leading to inflammation, uneven skin tone and signs of premature aging.
Antioxidants help prevent such damage by giving free radicals what they want before they attack your cells. Best of all, you can boost your skin health inside and out by using an antioxidant-rich skin care regimen and eating antioxidant-rich foods!
