Antioxidants are the “wonder” substances for your skin. They can nullify the natural, but damaging oxidation process in human tissues caused by free radicals – free molecules of oxygen that may lead to aging of the body.

Vitamin A, C, E, caroteniods, certain minerals, and nutrients from plants are rich sources of antioxidants.

Major benefit of antioxidants

Studies show that antioxidants reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, cataracts, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Alzheimer. They are believed to increase longevity, help to shed pounds, get healthier eyesight, and facilitate healthier and youthful skin.

Foods rich in antioxidants

·         Fruits and vegetables – All kinds of berries, Acai fruit, and colorful fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants. Beets, onions, spinach, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts are also enriched with this “wonder” ingredient for youthful skin.

·         Whole grains – Brown rice, whole wheat, and oats are great for keeping skin younger. They are rich in fibers that reduce blood cholesterol and protect against heart disease, colon cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

·         Nuts – As commonly believed, nuts don’t make you gain weight. Instead, they may help in losing weight, as a handful of nuts makes your full and prevents you from gorging between meals. Nuts are powerhouses of antioxidants; but you must eat them in moderation. A handful a day is enough.

·         Green tea – It is high in antioxidants. Experts recommend 2-10 cups a day.

·         Red wine – It has resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that prolongs life and offers many anti aging benefits, according to research.

Don’t let those dark circles darken your charm. Tackle them with smartness. It is childish to become self conscious about them and leave your confidence somewhere in the corner.

You can easily deal with dark circles through superior quality under eye creams meant especially for them. 

  Knowing more about dark circles They are mostly hereditary. They are common in African and Asian people. In this case, it has not much to do with sleep deprivation. Dark circles, puffiness of eyes, and change in color of dark circles are related to an abnormal rise in leakage from blood capillaries present beneath the skin surface in that area. Scientists have not yet established the reason for such leakage. However, they have found a link between this problem and health issues like stress, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, allergies, and unhealthy lifestyle choices like over consumption of caffeine, smoking, and others.

  Getting rid of dark circles There is neither a complete cure for dark circles nor is there a complete prevention technique. The best you can do is to reduce the darkness to the extent that it is hardly noticeable. This can be done by the use of high quality under eye creams. In addition to this, you must limit sun exposure. Also avoid taking pills that contain a blend of certain amount of hormones, especially estrogen. Both ways can help to reduce the abnormal accumulation of melanin, the skin pigment responsible for color. A little extra care of the skin around your eyes can help in lightening dark circles and perk up your eyes.
