Antioxidant


In the metabolic process skin cells generate free radicals. These free radicals are easily neutralised and disposed of by the antioxidants the dermis produces. But the aggressions to the skin as a result of pollution, stress, tobacco or sun exposure lead to an excess in free radicals for which we lack enough antioxidants to prevent the problems generated by free radicals, from imperfections such as spots or wrinkles to skin cancer.

According to Dr. Burke, a specialist of the American Academy of Dermatology “There are only three antioxidants that reduce the harmful effects of the sun on the skin and prevent skin damage: selenium and vitamins E and C”.

While it is important to eat food rich in vitamins C and E to keep a healthy skin, it is not enough because the body mainly uses them for its internal organs. A good supply of vitamins C and E to the skin is only ensured if applied on it. But vitamin C is unstable as it becomes little efficient as soon as it contacts the air. It is for this reason that, Citrus Care contains encapsulated vitamin C, thus ensuring the efficacy of the product. So the good news is: thanks to Citrus Care it is now possible to apply pure vitamin C onto the skin all year round!
