VITAMINS THAT FIGHT WRINKLES
The antioxidant vitamins that can improve the appearance of wrinkles on the skin are vitamins E and C as well as retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. It is believed that antioxidants are beneficial because of their ability to reduce, neutralize and prevent damage to the body by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that the body makes by metabolic processes such as food absorption and ingestion of toxinsfrom food sources and exposure to air pollution. In fact, throughout life, we are subject to sources that can generate free radical production. It is believed that the multiple benefits of antioxidants are associated with their ability to reduce damage caused by free radicals by blocking the oxidative processes in cells, by inhibiting the inflammation thatleads to the depletion of collagen and providing protection against photoaging and skin cancer.
