New Skin Antioxidant protects complexions all year round
Just as plants need antioxidants all year round to protect them from damage caused by both light and environmental pollution, so does your skin.
By day and night our skin is bombarded by light, both artificial and natural, creating free radicals which cause premature ageing. Skin Antioxidant (60 capsules & 14 capsules) is the new one-a-day capsule which helps to protect your skin from the inside, keeping it looking smoother and younger for longer.
Just as nature devised a ‘rainbow’ of colours in the foods that we eat, which protect fruits and vegetables from harm, Skin Antioxidant is formulated with a colourful multitude of super-hero nutrients found in plants:
- Lutein is found in green vegetables like kale, spinach and broccoli
- Curcumin produces the yellow shade found in turmeric, mustard, corn and yellow peppers
- Bilberry extract is a form of purple-blue berry that is rich in anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins
- Beta-carotene is the plant-form pre-cursor to vitamin A, found in carrots, sweet potatoes and peas
- Grapeseed extract is derived from red grapes and is reddish brown
- Lycopene lends its red colour to tomatoes and watermelon
- Green tea extract is a great green nutrient, whether in a cuppa, a skincare cream or supplement
Skin Antioxidant is available separately but can also be found in a new duo-pack called Skin Complete , which pairs Skin Antioxidant with Advanced Nutrition Programme’s vitamin A and D focused Skin Vit A+ supplement. This awesome twosome gives beauty consumers many of the same potent antioxidant vitamins and plant extracts that are recommended for topical use in effective skincare creams. The two-month supply nourishes, corrects and protects skin across the whole body, from the inside.
Lorraine Perretta, head of nutrition at iiaa, the company behind Advanced Nutrition Programme, says, “Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals that result from UV rays, pollution and smoking, damages lipids, proteins and DNA, leading to premature ageing. So we need to constantly replenish the antioxidant levels in our skin. By putting up a better defence against free radicals you can reduce the damage, and thus the signs of ageing − from lines and wrinkles, to brown pigment blemishes.”
