What is skin oxidation, the formation principle of skin oxidation

In fact, it is very simple to put it plainly, anti-oxidation = anti-free radicals

You should have heard the word free radical a lot, but what exactly is it? In fact, it is an "unstable oxygen molecule". The number of electrons in the stable oxygen molecule of the human body is an even number, but in the base, the number of electrons is always an odd number of free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules). In this unbalanced condition, the single electron will actively grab another electron pairing, which is extremely destructive. This damage occurs in the skin, causing collagen and elastic fibers to loosen and brittle, and slow down epidermal cell regeneration. Moreover, the nucleus of the cell is damaged by free radicals, and it cannot divide into healthy cells, and the lipids between the cells will also be divided and destroyed, making it impossible to maintain the moisture in the skin.

If you don't understand there is an image, Liu Fuhai, director of the China Antioxidant Professional Committee, believes that oxygen is like the relationship between fish and water for human beings. Our body is metabolizing all the time. While the human body uses oxygen to obtain energy, it also produces an unstable oxygen molecule, namely free radicals, which react with various substances in the body to cause oxidation and slowly disintegrate health. cell. As a result, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and loose and dry skin appear, just like the surface of a cut apple will quickly turn yellow, and iron products that are not wiped frequently will rust, and the skin begins to lose its luster and become aging. All of this is due to oxidation. In fact, the human body itself can also naturally produce antioxidant components, that is, free radical scavengers, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. that we are more familiar with. The physiological process of the human body is the process of generating and removing free radicals. , but these components will gradually decrease with age, coupled with external pressure and environmental deterioration (smoking, gasoline-burning exhaust gas, pollution, radiation, frying and grilling food, etc.), the "erosion" of oxidation will become crazier and crazier, the solution is to put on the skin "antioxidant" coat and diet.

Since the motive force of free radical damage comes from the number of unpaired electrons, in the process of robbing other people's electrons, more free radicals are produced, which is a reaction like a chain bomb. So the antioxidants we need to fight free radicals are like an army, they find the free radicals and attach to them, provide the electrons that the free radicals need, make them stable and detoxify, and then be excreted together. Therefore, if we want to fight against time, we must use antioxidant skincare products as soon as possible. Such as skin care products containing vitamins C, E, and polyphenols, as well as enzyme-rich EM-X (also known as Longevity Dew). Especially suitable for use as an anti-aging product during the day.

We already know that free radicals will accelerate skin aging, and the aging phenomenon is obvious, but do you know what behaviors and environments in life are likely to cause oxidation?

1. Sun exposure is the number one killer of skin oxidation. After UVA and UVB penetrate into the skin, they generate free radicals, destroy the collagen and elastic fibers of the skin, produce wrinkles, and turn the skin yellow and black.

2. The deterioration of the environment by radiation and pollution is something we complain about every day but are powerless to do because every day our skin is the first to come into contact with the surrounding environment so that they are also the first to be contaminated by the environment. Now, the destruction of the ozone layer, the continuous loss of soil and water, the massive emission of automobile exhaust, the unavoidable air-conditioning environment, the frequent use of computers and copiers - all these tell us the fact that our skin is faced with premature aging every day. get old.

3. Irregular life This is a killer lurking around you. You know it well but you don't want to change it. Irregularities in life, including an unbalanced diet and irregular work and rest time, will oxidize the skin and promote the skin to enter the aging stage in advance. Busy work during the day has put the nerves and skin in a state of high tension, and at night, if you continue to work or engage in excessive nightlife, the skin will not get the rest it deserves, and the consequences are obvious. In addition, diet is also an important factor affecting the degree of skin aging. Unbalanced and unreasonable diet, alcoholism, and smoking are not only unhealthy for the body but also unable to provide sufficient nutrition for the growth of the skin. If things go on like this, it will cause various functions of the skin. Oxidation and premature aging.

4. Overloaded living pressure Stress once or twice is nothing, but over time, it will accelerate the process of skin oxidation. Living in a rapidly developing society, we often have to bear the pressure from work, life, interpersonal relationships, family, etc. You can't see or touch them, and this invisible killer brings you not only body and spirit At the same time, but there is also a very important point - the skin is accelerated to oxidize.

5. Restricting the supply of water Living in a city with a dry climate is really an annoying thing, but there is no way, water is an important guarantee for young skin, and the skin lacking water is easily oxidized by the dry air.

How to Antioxidant

1. Return to simplicity, return to nature. As the saying goes, "water comes out of hibiscus, and natural decoration is removed", natural is healthy, so you should eat more natural, especially fresh antioxidant foods, and those containing vitamins A, B, C, and E are the best choice. Like potatoes, green tea, citrus, cauliflower, milk, fish, wheat, cherries, strawberries, watermelon, tomatoes, etc., all are cheap and good natural antioxidant foods. Also, get rid of a bad habit of refusing to eat junk food such as apples with broken holes and stale vegetables.

2. Do more aerobic exercise. Adherence to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise every day, such as running, skipping rope, swimming, etc., can improve physical fitness, resist free radicals in the body, and make the skin healthier.

3. Put a pot of cactus on the computer desk in the office, because the acupuncture of the cactus can absorb the magnetic field dust, which can reduce the irritation of the facial skin.

4. Live in the "aerobic" zone. If possible, stay away from traffic-congested areas and live in a place with fresh air and a beautiful environment. The home should also guard against free radicals and reactive oxygen species, and avoid pollution sources such as lampblack and radiation. The fumes emitted when cooking, the electromagnetic waves emitted by microwave ovens, televisions, computers, etc., are the culprits of free radicals.

5. Use antioxidant skincare products. Using skincare products with antioxidant benefits is like putting a protective coat on your skin. Fully meet the needs of sun protection, anti-oxidation, anti-pollution, and moisturizing skin. Pay attention to the basic care of the skin, and it is best to use a radiation-proof barrier cream when going out every day, whether it is an office worker who faces the computer all day long or a person who is running around in the sun to bathe in the sun. In addition, no matter how many nights you go to bed, you must do a good job of cleaning and removing the makeup on your face, so that the skin cannot really rest during the short sleep time.

6. Pay attention to antioxidant diet maintenance, and eat more foods rich in antioxidants, such as health products containing vitamins C, E, and polyphenols. Foreign research institutions have proved that foods rich in enzymes have significant antioxidant effects, thereby making the skin smooth and white.

Therefore, if you want to keep your skin smooth and delicate, the first thing to do and be sure to do is anti-oxidation!

Cistanche is rich in alkaloids, cistanche glycosides, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, etc. Cistanche glycosides are its unique ingredients, which are particularly beneficial for delaying aging, women's irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, and other diseases. A large number of alkaloids can be used for beauty, treatment of cold in the palace, etc. Cistanche contains many bioactive substances that can enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase, which can significantly improve the body's ability to scavenge free radicals in the body and can also significantly reduce the content of brown substances in the body, which has certain effects on relieving aging and beauty and freckle removal. effect. Phenylethanol glycosides and polysaccharides in Cistanche are currently considered to be antioxidant active ingredients, which can significantly increase the activity of glutathione peroxidase and SOD in the heart, liver, and brain tissues, and improve the SOD activity in kidney tissue. Reduce the content of LPO and lipofuscin in individual tissues. Anti-fatigue and anti-aging effects, enhance physical strength, Cistanche can directly inhibit the effect of free radicals on the body, and can also indirectly eliminate the harm of free radicals to the human body by increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase (sod) and monoamine oxidase in red blood cells and delay aging.
