3 Powerful Antioxidants For Healthy Skin
When it comes to fighting premature aging and keeping wrinkles and hyperpigmentation at bay – antioxidants rule! Not only they enhance mineral makeup’s sun protective properties (we love mineral makeup!) but they are also great for rejuvenating your skin and getting that oh-so-desired glow! Today, we’ll introduce you to the 3 most potent antioxidants that deserve their special place in your skin care routine (and in your diet). Let’s make that skin radiant and healthy!
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is, has always been and will be on top of my list. I love the effect it has on my skin and I am super happy with the results I got from using vitamin C enriched skin care products. Basically, vitamin C is my skin care hero! Now let me tell you why..
The reason why free radicals are so bad for your skin is that they break down collagen, which results in loss of elasticity and formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Here is where vitamin C steps in – on the one hand it counteracts oxidative stress and on the other - it boosts the collagen synthesis itself. Pretty impressive, I’d say.
Another wonderful property vitamin C possesses is its ability to lighten the skin, reduce already existing dark spots and prevent the appearance of new ones. Regardless of the cause (whether hyperpigmented areas are marks from already healed blemishes or result of staying too much in the sun/your age) vitamin C is sure to help, by enhancing the natural self-healing ability of your cells.
The La Mav Skin-Brightening range includes powerful bio-actives targeted specifically to even skin tone, texture and promote radiance while reducing the appearance of spots, sun damage, and wrinkles. Rumexoccidentalis extract, Vitamin C, Bearberry extract, Glabradin (from Licorice Root extract), and Cassia alata leaf extract are key ingredients in the range that have scientifically proven effects on skin clarity and texture.
Green Tea
Green tea, just like vitamin C has been proven to effectively battle aging/hyperpigmentation and along with this - protect healthy collagen from breaking down. Since the amount of collagen in our bodies tends to decline with age, it’s essential to preserve the existing one as long as possible, in order to postpone the appearance of the early "symptoms" of aging - loss of elasticity, wrinkle formation, hyperpigmentation, dull looking skin, etc..
Another great thing about green tea is that it has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it ideal for people struggling with acne, eczema, dermatitis and other skin conditions, associated with frequent inflammations.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E (also known as Tocopherol) is a fat soluble vitamin that comes in two forms – natural and synthetic. Since we don’t really like anything that has “synthetic” in its name, we prefer to stick to the good-old-plant-derived vitamin E - it’s more potent and is absorbed by the skin rapidly, without leaving greasy residues.
Why we love it some much (and why you need it in your beauty routine)? First, like any other potent antioxidant it protects the living cells from oxidative stress i.e reduces damage induced by free radicals. Second it increases the effectiveness of sunscreen, hence protects your skin from UV rays (and UV rays, as we all know are the main culprit for premature aging). Third it maintains the integrity of its lipid barrier and reduces water loss, keeping your face fresh and plump. Last but not least, since vitamin E is a natural preservative, it extends the shelf life of the products you are using (definitely better choice compared to the nasty parabens – ugh!)
La Mav's pure, organic Vitamin E oil is highly moisturizing and nourishing and will restore your skin to glowing softness while improving elasticity and firmness. Vitamin E will help add radiance to your complexion while reducing wrinkles! And all this - naturally!
