Significance
-
Antioxidant is a chemical that attaches itself to unstable compounds called "free radicals" that cause a destructive chain reaction under the skin. Antioxidants stop the chain reaction and turn the "free radicals" into less harmful compounds.
Features
-
Antioxidants can be found naturally in vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium. Eating foods that contain an abundance of antioxidants can help to prevent disease and improve your overall health and look of your skin.

Types
-
Antioxidant products like acai berry oil can make skin look firmer. Alpha-lipoic acid, often considered "the universal antioxidant," penetrates deep into the skin's layers, protecting it from "free radicals" and repairing the damaged cells.
Benefits
-
Damaged skin can cause premature aging, including dark circles, crow's feet, dry and flaky skin, wrinkles around the lips, skin that looks dull and sagging. Products containing antioxidants give skin an overall healthy glow.
Warning
-
With any new product, you should consider an allergic reaction. Try it on a small section of skin, then look for signs of a reaction such as burning of the skin, itchy irritation and hives. If you see any signs of trouble, discontinue the product and seek professional help.
