Organic Antioxidant Face Creams
The skin and the face are the most exposed to the harmful chemicals that bring about aging and cell death. Millions of reactive oxygen species or free radicals from the environment bombard the skin and react with the cells upon contact to produce more of the reactive species and cause imbalance within the cells. The body has backup mechanisms in the form of enzymes that quickly repair the damaged ones brought by the highly reactive species. However, these enzymes can only work as much, and a lot of times, the destructive reactions are much faster than the repair reactions. This results in cells that contain more and more dead components. Over time, the cells could not keep up with the destruction, and they age. Worse, they dry up and die. This causes wrinkles and dehydrated skin.
To prevent this eventuality, organic antioxidant face creams have been developed to stop aging from showing in the face and surrounding skin cells. These organic antioxidant face creams are made from organic ingredients that contain millions of antioxidants to counteract the harmful effects brought along by the destructive processes of the reactive oxygen species. Because the ingredients are organic, the content of these face creams would not harm the skin and unknowingly introduce free radicals instead of neutralizing them.
Natural ingredients such as those from rose, honey, soya, coconut, and vegetable oils are blended together to produce these organic antioxidant face creams. The manufacturers make sure that the ingredients come from all-natural sources and that genetically modified organisms are not allowed to be included. Even the floral oils and essences that are added to produce the sweet aroma of the organic antioxidant face creams originate from natural sources. The rose oil in the blend are also included to hydrate and soothe the facial skin cells, producing a firmer but softer texture of the skin. Also, buttermilk is added as skin softener. Sometimes, chamomile and rosemary are added to produce a relaxing aroma.
Some skin care experts also incorporate herbs such as rosehip, chickweed, oats, and comfrey seeds or leaves. These herbs also contain antioxidants that help stop the face from aging while allowing the cells to regenerate to produce a youthful essence. Even fruit extracts like those from carrots and grapes, which are renowned to contain millions of antioxidants, are infused into the mixture to add to the antioxidant concentration.
The antioxidants found in these herbs and flower sources react upon contact with the free radicals and neutralize them. Because most of these organic antioxidant face creams are incorporated with vitamin E, not only are the skin free radicals removed, but the skin would also glow in health.
To achieve the best effects from these organic antioxidant face creams, skin care experts advise that the person’s diet should also change to accommodate foods rich in antioxidants such as berries and apples. The face creams should be applied liberally and evenly on the surface of the face and neck, but these parts should be first cleaned with warm organic cleansers to hasten the absorption of the useful antioxidants.
