Unlocking the Power of Essential Antioxidants: Incorporating Them into Your Routine

• Lycopene, found in foods like tomato & grapefruit and classified as a carotenoid, is a vital antioxidant that plays a crucial role in safeguarding the skin against sunburns by counteracting the harmful effects of free radicals induced by sun exposure. 
• The antioxidant action of vitamin C, found in foods like kiwi & grapefruit for example, helps to protect the skin from acute sun damage that shows up as erythema or redness. 
• Research has demonstrated that green tea leaves or matcha contain a significant concentration of polyphenols. These polyphenols have been shown to possess the ability to hinder the development of cancer caused by UV radiation, while also enhancing the immune system.
• Betulinic acid (BA), present in the high antioxidant functional mushroom Chaga, is a beneficial compound known to provide protection to the skin by combating free radical damage and preventing signs of aging. Chaga is also helpful as it promotes collagen to maintain elasticity & melanin for protection from sun damage.
• Tremella mushrooms have a gelatinous structure and beta-d-glucan content that give them the ability to offer hydration to the skin when consumed.
