1: Your Skin is Dull or Patchy
The most researched and loved antioxidant of all is vitamin C. Otherwise known as l-ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbyl phosphate (its gentler but effective cousin), vitamin C is a fabulous choice for dull or patchy-looking skin.
Why? It helps balance melanin production – the pigment in your skin that’s responsible for moles, freckles, tanning and dark spots.
Try: Organic Age-Defying Facial Oil which is chock-full of vitamin C thanks to a high-powered blend of 20 botanical oils including rosehip and orange blossom flower oil.
NEED TO KNOW: Antioxidants' main role is simple - to counteract the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals form in your skin when you subject it to stress, poor diet, lack of sleep or environmental aggressors like pollution, UV damage. If you don’t counteract free radicals with antioxidants, this leads to a process called oxidative stress which is one of the main causes of premature skin ageing – ie: lines, wrinkles, dark spots, dehydration and sagging.
2. You're Seeing Signs of Ageing
Make retinol your best friend! If you want to pack a serious punch against fine lines and wrinkles, retinol is hands down the best of the best.
Why? Proven time and time again for its ability to ‘communicate’ with your skin on a cellular level, it activates specific genes within the skin’s dermis to boost collagen, repair connective tissue and stimulate skin cells to turn over at a quicker, more effective rate.
Try: Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum. This lightweight serum contains retinyl palmitate, a gentle derivative of retinol that’s ideal for anyone who’s noticed the first signs of ageing. Also packed with hyaluronic acid for instant hydration, plumping and radiance!
3. Your Skin is Dry or Dehydrated
Often seen on your ingredients list as "tocopherol", vitamin E is a go-to if you have dry skin, dehydration… or both. It has incredible emollient AND humectant properties. It's also a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant to helping protect cells from damage.
Why? Vitamin E not only helps draw moisture to the surface of the skin, but also has the ability to hold it there. That’s pretty unusual in the skincare world, btw! And it's cell regeneration properties are a mega bonus too.
Try: Night Elixir, a fabulous night cream that’s enriched with shea butter, botanical oils, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for the ultimate in overnight moisturisation.
4. You Have Irritated or Acne-Prone Skin
Your skin will LOVE green tea! Extracted from the leaves and buds of the camellia sinensis plant, green tea is well-known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties which makes it ideal for skin that’s prone to breakouts.
Why? Green tea has been proven to help balance sebum and, of course, it contains caffeine which works to reduce puffiness and redness as an extra bonus. Result!
Try: Imperial Moisturiser. This firm favourite combines organic green tea extract with a whole host of other antioxidants to hit free radicals where it hurts. Helping to fend off premature fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin.
NOT FORGETTING ALOE VERA: An amazing ingredient rich in antioxidants. If your skin is particularly prone to irritations, redness and soreness, our 100% natural Organic Hydration Gel is for you. With it's main soothing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient being the wonderful aloe vera!
