Top 10 Natural Skin Care Antioxidants

Posted by: TheFashionGuru on: July 15, 2009

You absolutely cannot underestimate the importance of the proper skin care antioxidant products. As most of us are well aware, you need to look for products wherever you can, because they are much safer and healthier for your skin. A lot of us are aware of things like vitamin C skin care, but there are so many other options available to you – so take a look at the ingredients you should be looking for in the top 10 antioxidant products.

1. Beta Carotene

Any antioxidant product worth its weight will include at least a little beta carotene. Of course, you can help yourself by eating foods rich in this helpful substance – or for looking for products which contain them. They include but are not limited to carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, cantaloupe, apricots, mangos, pumpkins, spinach, kale, and collard greens.

2. Lutein

You can find lutein in leafy green vegetables, like kale, collard greens, and spinach. You should also be able to find it in a good skin care antioxidant product.

3. Lycopene

You can find lycopene in products which contain tomatoes, along with watermelons, papaya, guava, pink grapefruit, apricots, and oranges. There are a lot of facial masks which contain extracts of these foods, not to mention a fair number of facial cleansers.

4. Selenium

Selenium is chocked full of antioxidants and enzymes. It is thus a very important mineral. It is also the reason why mud packs and clay based products can be so beneficial. It tends to come from highly concentrated soil.

5. Vitamin A

Not only is vitamin A found in a number of different natural skin care products, you can also make some skin care remedies of your own involving it. All you need is some eggs lying around the house – you can make a face bath from the yolks.

6. Vitamin C

As we briefly mentioned, vitamin C skin care is an importance ingredient in skin care antioxidant treatments. Naturally, you can find it in a number of different fruits and vegetables as well.

7. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is the reason so many skin care products include nut – specifically almond – extracts and even mango extract. It is also why wheat germ oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil are often included in antioxidant products.

8. Coenzyme Q 10

Some of the best skin care antioxidant products contain this enzyme. It can even help heart patients to heal and recover. It keeps free radicals from attacking the lipids. There are also suggestions that it can help prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s.

9. Lipoic Acid

Lipoic acid helps to renew and recycle antioxidants. It helps to produce energy, it regenerates itself, can help control diabetes, and may be able to prevent cataracts from forming.

10. Gluthatione

This antioxidant is not only natural, it is water soluble as well. It can help make your immune system stronger, it can detoxify your blood, it can protect the lining of your lungs, and it may even work as an anti aging antioxidant.

And don’t forget about the all-natural skin care product route for achieving healthier, overall better looking skin. Both Dermazone Celazome Daily Antioxidant Moisture Supplement and Dermazone Celazome Serum Vitae use powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals to reduce damaging effects like wrinkles, dryness and roughness by jump-starting regeneration and cellular growth of the skin.

Hey, you got very informative beauty tips here thanks for the good job.

It’s so amazing how so many things that are good for skincare that are natural foods, fruits and vegetables. It really shows that I should stop being such a picky eater! Although I’m not familar with much of the antioxidants, the one that seems to work wonders for me are Vitamin E. I had a lot of scarring which disappeared greatly after treatment.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Antioxidants act as an effective acne treatment and they help to kill the free radicals present in your body. Fruits like pomegranates, grapes and blueberries are also good source of antioxidants. You can even apply potato juice onto the acne affected areas, as it includes antioxidants.
