Why is it important to use antioxidants on the skin all year round, but especially in the summer?

Antioxidants protect cells from oxidation. When oxidation occurs, cells are damaged and this accelerates skin aging (wrinkles, sagging...). Antioxidants such as CoQ10, vitamin C, resveratrol, vitamin E, niacinamide, astaxanthin offer protection by reducing the effects of oxidation. That's why it's essential to include antioxidants in your skin care routine during the summer months.

Note: Vitamin C is not a photosensitizer; on the contrary, it optimizes photoprotection by effectively fighting free radicals. It is therefore recommended to use an antioxidant serum in addition to sunscreen, especially in summer.

In addition, a combination of antioxidants provides significant synergistic protection against oxidative stress on the skin and offers an effective shield against photo-aging. So the more antioxidants in your routine, the better.

That's why we love the combined antioxidants found in Helwé.
