Yes, it is true,premature aging can be stopped using natural antioxidant skin products. To understand how this is possible I will offer you a little background.

Free radicals are defeated by natural ingredients found in antioxidant skin products. But, what are free radicals, and how do they affect the skin? As you probably remember from your old high school days sitting in your chemistry class, atoms are formed by a nucleus, neutrons, protons, and electrons. Electrons are very important in the aging process as they react chemically, linking atoms together to form molecules. But, as your skin suffers through sun exposure or other environmental factors, the links become debilitated and eventually split, leaving a free, unpaired electron. Now, it takes an electron from the nearest secure molecule, turning into a free radical.

When it loses its electron, the molecule which has been attacked becomes a free radical, as it has to search for other stable molecules to steal from. This forms a chain reaction. As free radicals grab electrons from your body molecules, the molecules are left with an ‘electron hole’. These holes allow all the unwanted elements which damage our living cells. This is where antioxidants appear.

Antioxidants defend our skin from free radicals protecting our skin from possible damage. If antioxidants aren’t available, free radical damage will accumulate with age, resulting in the breakdown of collagen, the aged appearance of skin and loss of skin elasticity. How do antioxidants counteract free radicals? When, antioxidants are present, they end the ‘electron stealing’ chain reaction by donating an electron to the molecules that have been affected by these free radicals. Does the chain reaction carry on as antioxidants are left with one less electron? No, this does not occur with antioxidants. They stop the electron stealing chain reaction because they remain stable in either form, with or without the electron.

It is clear that,the advantages of antioxidant skin products are plentiful and invaluable as they maintain your skin healthy and vibrant, and most importantly they reduce and prevent, premature aging and wrinkles. The next time we become worried afer looking at the mirror and finding an extra wrinkle, we must remember that antioxidant skin products are vital when looking after our skin, especially the prevention of premature aging.
