Face the Facts | What Is Skin Oxidation?

Totally must have missed talking about skin oxidation in school. So what is skin oxidation? Many of us know that metals oxidize, however, our skin does too. Skin oxidation happens when our skin is under oxidative stress and free radicals invade our skin cells, creating an imbalance, and causing our skin to lose electrons. Skin, our outermost layer exposed to the external environment, is subjected to oxidative stress by factors such as solar ultraviolet, infrared and visible light, environmental pollution, including ozone and particulate matters, and psychological stress. When this happens, sebum on our face, a combination of keratin and oil, clogs pores and is exposed to the air, then a blackhead appears. Cringe!

Research has shown skin oxidation as a major contributor to photo-aging. As we get older skin has been exposed to more elements, causing skin to lose elasticity and reduce collagen production, increasing the development of fine lines and wrinkles, along with triggering age spots and dry skin. The more skin oxidizes over time, the more tissue that is damaged, and the harder it is to bounce back. This is why antioxidants are the most important element of skincare! GoodJanes vegan skincare products are packed with the most powerful antioxidants found in plant stem cells and botanical nutrients.

Antioxidants assist in the correction and prevention of signs of aging, help skin repair by promoting collagen production, brighten the complexion, and prevent skin cancer since some have anti-carcinogenic properties. Skincare products that are high in antioxidants like Vitamin A, B, C and E, Niacinamide, seed oils, fruit extracts, and botanical ingredients feed skin in a way that artificial chemicals simply cannot.
