When scouring skincare product labels, you’ve likely come across the term “good for oxidative stress.” Whether you’re new to skincare or have been building a more advanced routine for a while, you may not have given this term too much thought.
Knowing what oxidative stress is and how it affects your skin can help you pick the right ingredients for your skin type and concerns, and address skin detoxification more deliberately. Keep reading to learn more about how our glutathione serum and face and body creams can help you detox and refresh your complexion!
What Is Oxidative Stress?
Oxidative stress is a biological process that causes cells in our body to lose integrity. This is caused by a variety of environmental stressors, such as pollution, UV exposure, poor sleep, and seasonal changes.
As the cells in our skin degrade, more free radicals are produced, and there are not enough antioxidants to neutralize them. This shows up in our complexion with more visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines, sun spots, and spider veins. So, how can you combat oxidative stress?
Remember that product label? High-quality skincare products that address oxidative stress contain antioxidants like vitamin C or vitamin B complexes, or synthetic compounds that, when applied topically, help neutralize free radicals and reduce the effects of environmental stressors.
One of the best ways you can reduce the effects of oxidative stress in your skin is by adding antioxidants into your skincare routine!
Glutathione: A Powerful Antioxidant
One of the best ingredients for tackling oxidative stress is glutathione. This naturally occurring antioxidant and tripeptide comprises three amino acids: cystine, glutamic acid, and glycine, which work to restore the epidermis, fight oxidative damage like hyperpigmentation, and brighten the complexion.
Glutathione can be used with other antioxidants like vitamin C and B-complexes like niacinamide to enhance the effectiveness of each ingredient in the skin. With regular application, you will notice a more even skin tone, reduced visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, and a brighter, more vibrant complexion!
