Are you looking for an antioxidant serum with vitamin C for your face? Have you heard or read that vitamin C can help improve your skin? That's right, but do you know how it can benefit you and why? Well, you're in the right place; we'll clarify all these points for you and tell you about the vitamin C serum that's taking the world by storm, and there's more... we'll also tell you about the antioxidant with 100 times more vitamin C than an orange... take note!
But before we get into that, to understand all of this, it's necessary to discuss other concepts closely related to vitamin C... Have you heard of free radicals and antioxidants? You probably have, but... do you know what they are exactly? We'll help clarify that in a moment.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are unstable, reactive molecules that result from the use of oxygen by the cells in our body, and when they are in excess, they can react with the proteins, fats, and DNA of healthy cells, causing what is known as oxidative stress and/or damage to the cells.
Surprisingly, all of this is related to natural processes in our own bodies. You might be thinking that free radicals are the enemy and must be eliminated, as if they weren't part of your own body, but the truth is that they are inside you. But don't worry, because our body also has a mechanism to counteract this increase in free radicals, and that mechanism is the antioxidant system, we'll talk about it shortly.
In short, free radicals are naturally produced by the body due to cellular metabolism; however, some factors can increase their production, such as...:
- Pollution
- Radiation
- Stress
- Tobacco and alcohol
- Excessive consumption of fats
What is this oxidative stress all about?
Let's go with a simple example: oxidation is responsible for fresh fruit changing color once we peel it. The same thing happens in our skin, naturally, but (thankfully) at a much slower pace. In other words, oxidation is something we live with, but oxidative stress occurs when compounds that are not useful for life are produced in excess (such as some free radicals), and that's when negative consequences can occur in our bodies, such as aging and even, in some cases, diseases.
But as we mentioned before, keep calm! We can counteract this oxidative stress How? With antioxidants.
What are antioxidants?
You've heard about them a thousand times, but... What are they and why are they so important for your skin? What Wikipedia tells us is: "An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing down or preventing the oxidation of other molecules."
So, that's what we need, to slow down oxidation! Right? Antioxidants are key to this because they are responsible for neutralizing or blocking the effects caused by free radicals in the body.
In summary, antioxidants are substances that prevent and delay damage to cells and protect us from the free radicals we are exposed to every day, delaying signs of aging and restoring skin vitality.
And... how can I add more antioxidants to my body?
Through diet, with foods rich in minerals like selenium and zinc, as well as foods that are sources of vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin A, which can be found in beta-carotenes (a group of foods characterized by yellow, orange, or red coloring, like oranges, lemons, or tomatoes, among others).
Another way, much more direct for the skin, is through cosmetics rich in antioxidants and vitamins as mentioned earlier.
What is vitamin C and what does it do for my skin?
It's one of the most well-known vitamins for everyone, especially for colds, right? But it has many more benefits for us and our skin. Vitamin C is necessary for the proper functioning of our body: it plays a role in collagen synthesis, tissue healing, protection against free radicals (due to its antioxidant function), and iron absorption. It is also associated with excellent benefits for metabolism, the immune system, and aging prevention.
Our body does not produce vitamin C, so it's important to add foods rich in this vitamin to our diet and even look for it among the ingredients and active ingredients in the cosmetic products we use every day.
