Skin's Need for Antioxidants |
Before you understand why Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants are so critical to your skincare routine, you must first understand free radicals, how they work (mechanism of action) and their role in causing damage to skin.

How Free Radicals Affect Skin
Free radicals are constantly on the move trying to pair with other molecules. Unfortunately for us, when they cannot find other molecules, some free radicals pair with skin - yes, our skin - causing the following types of damage:
Free radicals can accelerate the aging process by damaging collagen and breaking down the elastin fibers in the skin causing a loss of skin elasticity, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. This results in skin that appears less firm and more prone to sagging.
Free radicals can stimulate the production of excess melanin, leading to uneven skin tone, dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Free radicals can increase skin inflammation and sebum production, clogging pores and promoting bacterial growth, leading to acne and breakouts due to oxidative stress and disrupted skin balance.
Free radicals can trigger inflammatory responses in the skin, leading to redness, irritation and conditions like rosacea and eczema.
Oxidative stress can damage the skin's lipid barrier, causing it to lose moisture more quickly and leading to dryness and dehydration.
Free radicals can compromise the skin's protective barrier, making it more vulnerable to environmental pollutants and irritants.
Oxidative stress brought on by free radicals can make the skin appear dull and lackluster by disrupting the natural radiance and clarity of the complexion.
Sources of Free Radicals
Free radicals appear everywhere: in pollution, UV rays and even in skincare products laden with chemicals. Here are some common sources of free radicals
Free radicals in pollution refer to highly reactive and unstable molecules that are present in various environmental pollutants. These free radicals can be particularly damaging to the skin. Industrial areas often have high levels of air pollution, which can contain a variety of free radicals. These pollutants can directly contact the skin and generate free radicals upon exposure. This can lead to oxidative stress and skin damage.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a significant source of free radicals. Prolonged or excessive sun exposure can lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the skin, causing oxidative damage and increasing the risk of skin aging and hyperpigmentation.
Harsh skincare products or chemicals in personal care products can irritate the skin and generate free radicals, leading to inflammation, redness and skin damage.
Smoking exposes the skin to a high concentration of free radicals and harmful chemicals. Smoking not only accelerates skin aging but also contributes to the development of wrinkles and a dull complexion.
Skin conditions characterized by chronic inflammation, such as eczema and psoriasis, can produce free radicals locally in the affected skin areas, leading to further skin damage.

Benefits of Greentealy's Avant-Garde Antioxidants
Some of the skin benefits of Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants include:
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals that can damage skin cells, collagen, and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. By protecting the skin from this damage, our antioxidants can help to reduce the appearance of aging and promote a more youthful complexion.
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants can help to promote healthy skin cell growth and repair, which can lead to improved skin texture and tone. They can also help to reduce the appearance of scars, blemishes, and other imperfections by promoting skin regeneration or renewal.
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants can help to reduce inflammation in the skin, which can be a contributing factor in a number of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea and eczema. By reducing inflammation, our antioxidants can help to soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation.
Some Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants, such as our active vitamin E, can help to improve the skin's ability to retain moisture, leading to a more hydrated and plump appearance. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin health.
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants play a crucial role in improving skin health by reducing the size of pores. They achieve this by neutralizing harmful free radicals that can damage skin cells and collagen, causing pores to enlarge. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, prevent this damage, resulting in tighter and smaller pores.
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants are the secret to achieving radiant and glowing skin. These powerful compounds combat the harmful effects of free radicals, preventing premature aging and skin dullness. By protecting skin cells from damage, our avant-garde antioxidants like vitamin C and green tea extract stimulate collagen production and reduce pigmentation, leaving your skin looking brighter and more youthful.
Greentealy's avant-garde antioxidants are like skin superheroes when it comes to maintaining firmness. They work by preventing the breakdown of collagen, a protein crucial for skin's structural support. Collagen naturally degrades with age and environmental stressors, leading to sagging skin. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress, reducing collagen damage. This preservation of collagen ensures that the skin retains its firm and supple qualities, contributing to a more youthful and resilient appearance over time.
Incorporating Greentealy avant-garde antioxidant skincare line into your skincare routine could help protect your skin from damage, promote a more youthful complexion and improve overall skin health.
