1. Antioxidants: These are formed naturally by the body by a process called oxidation. It is ironic that oxygen, an element indispensable for life can, under certain situations, have severely deleterious effects on the human body. Most of the potentially harmful effects of oxygen are due to the formation and activity of a number of chemical compounds, known as reactive oxygen species or “Free Radicals”. These elements left free without having antioxidants to counter them, can have negative effects on cells. The theory associating free radicals with the aging process has also gained widespread acceptance. ON the skin, they reduce collagen damage and the skin’s ability to hold moisture. So we suggest taking as good quality antioxidant supplementation and using a good antioxidant creams on your body. Also a good sun-block is a great preventive method of not aging your skin.
