Understanding oxidative stress and the role of antioxidants

Comprendre le stress oxydatif et le rôle des antioxydants

Oxidative stress is a term encountered everywhere in the beauty world, without always being fully understood.

What is oxidative stress?

The body constantly produces molecules called free radicals as a result of its own functioning. In normal amounts, they are naturally regulated. However, certain factors—pollution, sun exposure, fatigue, smoking—can increase their production, causing an imbalance known as oxidative stress.

The role of antioxidants

Antioxidants are molecules that help neutralize these free radicals. Vitamin C is one of them: it helps protect cells against oxidative stress. The body needs a regular supply, provided through diet.

One factor among other daily considerations

Oxidative stress is just one factor among many in the skin's overall balance—sleep, hydration, and a varied diet also play a role. It is the combination of these habits that matters, rather than any isolated action.

A routine designed to provide these antioxidants

It is with this logic that Glow Mélanine+ was formulated: to bring together several active ingredients, including vitamin C, in a simple daily ritual designed to complement a comprehensive beauty routine rather than replace it.
