Whenever I look for a new skin care product, it’s always a huge plus when it contains antioxidants. Topical antioxidants are supposed to help neutralize the assaults our skin takes on a daily basis - pollution, the sun, cigarette smoking, etc. Then, of course, there are the antioxidants we get from healthy foods (fruits and vegetables, [...]
