One of the best ways to
deal with acne is to use antioxidants. They keep the skin supple and
glowing, and also prevent the skin from ageing or getting wrinkled.
The antioxidants, which are largely present in the epidermal layer
of the skin, neutralize the nascent oxygen molecules that are known
to play havoc with the skin.
These oxygen molecules, which are also known as free radicals,
destroy cells and tissues, weaken muscles, trigger hair fall, and
lower immunity levels. They also attack the skin, making it lose its
tone and suppleness. The only check for free radicals is
antioxidants. The antioxidants neutralize free radicals when they
come in contact with them, saving the However, when they come into
contact with antioxidants they are completely neutralized.
The body stocks its supply of antioxidants from fresh fruits and
vegetables. Fruits like pomegranate, blueberries and grapes are an
extremely rich in antioxidants. Besides this, vitamin A (retinol),
Vitamin E (tocopherol) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) also act as
strong antioxidants. They strengthen the immune system, which
indirectly helps in controlling acne and its related problems. Acne
patients can also take man-made antioxidants.
Only 1% of the antioxidants that are taken orally as vitamin tablets
or in the form of fruits and vegetables reach the skin. The rest are
used for maintaining the internal metabolic functioning of the body.
It therefore makes sense to use topical lotions for the skin. Most
of them are available over the counter and can protect the skin from
free radicals for 4-5 days. They act as a screen keep the skin
healthy and young. However, such lotions should be applied regularly
if they are to be useful.
If you do not want to use a synthetic product you can make use of
natural oxidants themselves. Since most fruits and vegetables are
rich in antioxidants, you can use the pulp of any one vegetable or
fruit and apply it over your skin. This will tighten and tone up
your skin, and also impart it a natural glow. A healthy skin is far
more resistant to acne outbreaks than a sick or sagging skin.
Stress and physical or mental exhaustion is known to increase the
number of free radicals in the body. It can indirectly affect the
skin and cause acne. Hence proper sleep and adequate rest will also
help you stay away from acne.
