ANTIOXIDANTS FOR YOUR SKIN
OWAY BEAUTY has selected the best ingredients for creating nourishing and effective beauty recipes to offer your skin the perfect "DIET". Antioxidants are substances that inhibit the growth and proliferation of free radicals (highly reactive, uncharged molecules with an unpaired electron). Free radicals form every time you breathe, eat, or are exposed to the sun. They are the by-product of oxygen metabolism created by the body to neutralize invaders such as bacteria and viruses; however, too many free radicals can trigger a chain reaction of destruction. This damaging process is known as oxidative stress, and high levels have been linked to increased risk for virtually every chronic health condition. Antioxidants are essentially free radical scavengers, stabilizing the destructive molecules by giving them an electron. While the body does produce some antioxidants internally, most of our antioxidant support is provided by substances that come from outside the body. Antioxidants can come from both natural and artificial sources, in food we eat or botanicals that are used in self-care products. Studies suggest that including antioxidant-rich products in your skin care routine can help manage the risk of free radical damage and support the look of skin in several different ways. The topical application of antioxidant-rich products, or consumption of foods high in antioxidants, may promote healthy tissue remodeling, reduce early signs of aging, support cellular health, and assist in maintaining a youthful appearance.
