Understanding oxidation and oxidative stress
Oxidation is a natural process where free radicals – unstable molecules generated by cellular respiration, sun exposure, pollution or stress – attack cells to stabilize themselves.
When these free radicals become too numerous, the balance is disrupted: this is oxidative stress . The skin weakens, collagen and elastin fibers degrade, leading to wrinkles, loss of firmness, sagging and a dull complexion.
In other words, oxidative stress is an accelerator of premature skin aging .
The role of antioxidants at the cellular level
Antioxidants are the guardians of youthful skin. Their role is to neutralize free radicals before they damage skin cells. They donate an electron to stabilize these unstable molecules, thus preventing damage to cell membranes, proteins (collagen, elastin), and DNA.
This protective action allows for:
- Preventing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines .
- Maintain skin firmness and elasticity .
- Maintain a radiant and even complexion .
Antioxidants are even more powerful when they work together. For example, vitamin E regenerates vitamin C , optimizing their anti-aging action.
