Comments on: Will Antioxidants Impact Your Age? http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/01/03/will-antioxidants-impact-your-age/ Cosmetic chemists answer your beauty product questions! We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

Because cosmetics and personal care in the US are so loosely regulated, one must be cautious and skeptical of beauty company claims. I've found antioxidants in a well balanced diet do help me feel better day to day. I've also seen my skin improve since I've switched to products with minimal and organic ingredients. Most of these organic companies play up their use of antioxidants as a major plus in the repair and fight against aging. But, what I know for is my skin looks and feels better than it has in years. My favorite products right now are from: afterglow cosmetics and pangea organics both great brands with superb products.

Unfortunately, there can be too much a good thing. This is often the case, particularly in sun-exposed and aged skin. I believe topical and ingested antioxidants can help maintain a healthy balance of ROS and improve skin health. @David Free radicals are absolutely necessary for proper cell function.

Antioxidants are like adding a "neutralizer" to the bleach in your toilet bowl and expecting it to stay germ free...
