Aging is a time-dependent process which results in continuous changes in the <\/span>body that are associated with increased susceptibility to diseases and ultimately death. In a human <\/span>being, it brings about physical, psychological and social <\/span>changes.\u00a0Growing evidence now suggests that aging is actually the effect of all the deleterious free radical reactions going on continuously in our cells and tissues. <\/span><\/p>\n

In humans and other <\/span>mammals, the free radical reactions are those involving <\/span>oxygen. Thus Antioxidants<\/strong><\/a> are the remedy that can restrict signs of aging<\/strong>.<\/a> These substances have the potential to inhibit the symptoms of aging and maintain younger health conditions both internally and externally. Antioxidants work both as neutralizers and preventers against free radicals. They protect the skin cells from damage and also boost our system to generate newer cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do antioxidants work for\u00a0skin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oxygen plays a negative role in our bodies due to its highly reactive nature. It induces molecular breakdown and sets free a pair of electrons called \u201cfree-radicals\u201d. These free radicals are responsible for skin damage at the tissue and cellular level. These free-radicals are unstable because they contain unpaired electrons and attack stable molecules and capture their electrons to attain stability and making them unstable. This process continues like a chain reaction resulting in accumulation of free radicles and which in turn leads to pathogenesis and premature aging of healthy cells and tissues. <\/span><\/p>\n

These free radicals ultimately give way to diseases such as skin cancer, heart diseases, poor brain function, immune system diseases etc. Antioxidants restrict this process and build a complex protection system against these free radicals in human body. In skin cells and tissues, they restrict the breakdown of collagen<\/strong><\/a> and thicken the deeper layers of skin where wrinkles start. These antioxidant molecules are relatively small and so they penetrate easily into the deeper layers of the skin and thus rejuvenating it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anti-aging benefits of antioxidants:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By destroying free radicals, antioxidants protect the largest tissue system in our body i.e. the skin. Antioxidants work at two levels i.e. they prevent skin cell damage by reducing free-radicals and on the other <\/span>hand, they support the new cell generation system. The benefits of antioxidants are as below:<\/span><\/p>\n
