Dr. Wedgeworth explains the benfits of antioxidants to help protect our skin by neutralizing the effects of oxidative stress, which come from things like pollution, UV rays, pollen, and infrared blue light.
Today, it’s more important than ever to have antioxidants in your daily skin care routine. Why? “They help protect your skin by neutralizing the effects of oxidative stress, which comes from things you deal with every day,” says London-based board-certified dermatologist and Clinique Derm Pro Dr. Emma Wedgeworth. “That includes pollution, UV rays, pollen, infrared radiation, and blue light.”
In fact, up to 90% of visible aging comes from UV rays alone.
