3 Antioxidant-Rich Blends For Glowing Skin

We know that ‘anti-aging’ and ‘skin-glowing’ are usually hype words targeted at women by the beauty industry. We all want glowing skin, but do any of these products actually work?

Luckily, there’s a natural way to get glowing and healthy skin that is also organic and free of chemicals.

Welcome to the stage, antioxidants!

For those who are unfamiliar with what antioxidants actually are, antioxidants are molecules that we ascertain through certain foods, which neutralise free radicals (which are reactive and damaging molecules) within the body.

Antioxidants are able to neutralise free radicals by using their own electrons to the free radicals and therefore prevent cellular damage. After neutralising a free radical, antioxidants become inactive, which means they need to be constantly re-supplied to our bodies through the right foods.

Antioxidants may help with the following:

• Prevention of disease
• Reverseing the effects of aging of the skin
• Increasing eye health and preventing deterioration of the lens
• Brain health - prevents the onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinsons’s disease
• Decreasing risk of coronary heart disease
• Prevention of certain cancers which are triggered by damaged cell DNA

Here are some of the most effective ways to increase your antioxidant intake.
