Finding the Best Antioxidant Serum - Tips and Advice For Success
Finding the best antioxidant serum is important because antioxidants are what defend your skin from free radical damage and oxidative stress.
Your body actually creates it's own antioxidants, but they are not produced in nearly high enough levels as you get older to give you full protection.
Once you get into your 30s, it is definitely a good idea to start supplying your skin with other sources of antioxidants and there is no better and more direct way that using topical skin care products.
One thing you should do in order to find the best antioxidant serum possible is only look for ones that are made using all-natural ingredients.
This will ensure that whatever you apply to your skin is safe.
Plus, all-natural substances always come with way more health-giving properties than any harmful synthetic chemical could.
Take grape seed oil for example.
This is a very potent antioxidant, but it also creates an invisible barrier over your skin to help retain moisture.
Or even look at manuka honey.
It has very high antioxidant and antibacterial properties, but it also assists in the formation of stronger collagen and supports the skin's cell renewal process.
It's these kind of ingredients you should be looking for in the best antioxidant serum.
But perhaps most importantly, you want to make sure that the best antioxidant serum contain antioxidants that are molecularly small enough to penetrate through your skin.
If they cannot get through the epidermis, then they are practically useless.
In fact, they should be able to penetrate through MULTIPLE layers of skin in order to stabilize free radicals deep down.
One specific antioxidant that is in all of the anti-aging products I personally use is without a doubt small enough to penetrate through the skin because it's used in a special 'nano-emulsion' form.
This is a special form of CoenzymeQ10 (or CoQ10), which is a natural antioxidant produced in your skin.
CoQ10 is one of the first to be depleted as you get older, so it's very beneficial to apply it to your skin, especially since it's in a form that is small enough to be absorbed through the skin.
In fact, it can penetrate up to 7 layers deep to protect the skin deep down.
