Skin Antioxidants

Free radicals are highly reactive short lived molecules that can damage virtually any molecule in our body – including the important cellular structures found in the body’s largest organ – the skin.

We often hear about antioxidants being found in foods like fruits and berries, and dietary supplements like vitamin C, but the world’s most powerful antioxidant...is not in a fruit or berry, it’s found in your very own body.

What your genes have to do with it

The role of genetics

Not all people have the same amount of these powerful free radical scavengers. A numbers of skin related genetic variations have been found to alter the production of antioxidant protecting molecules, and your SkinDNA® score is a powerful indication of your body’s genetic Antioxidant abilities.

What genes are tested?

Superoxide Radical Defense

Protects cells from oxidative damage and is responsible for converting free radicals into less harmful products.

Glutathione Production

Involved in detoxifying Hydrogen Peroxide compounds via the optimal production of the Glutathione antioxidant. Its defense properties also help to minimize further oxidative damage.

Pollution Defense

Involved in detoxifying Quinones – (environmental pollutants), allowing them to be safely reduced and broken down to water.

About Antioxidants

Antioxidants

Our bodies have been built with a natural defence: Antioxidants. Antioxidants are your true best friends. They’re devices which stop these destructive chain reactions in our bodies.

Superoxide Dismutase and Glutathione peroxidise are two of the most powerful antioxidant molecules available within the human body. The higher the levels the less prone we are to the destructive effects of free radicals.

Background Science

Free Radicals

Free radicals are highly reactive short lived molecules that can damage virtually any molecule in our body – including the important cellular structures found in the body’s largest organ – the skin.

Free radical damage leads to the generation of even more free radicals! It’s a chain reaction that can wreak havoc in every layer of the skin – including the Hypodermis, Dermis and the particularly vulnerable Epidermis.

Scientists now believe that free radicals are casual factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease, to arthritis, to cancer and cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself.

This sort of cellular destruction in any one of the skin’s layers can lead to a dull, life-less and aged complexion. Discolouration, blotchiness and an uneven skin texture are the hallmarks.

Skin Free Radicals

Similar to rust appearing on the metal of a car, the oxidation phenomenon causes significant damage and impairment to skin cells.
