Antioxidantien – die ultimativen Beauty-Helfer für deinen Sommer!

Antioxidants – the ultimate Beauty helpers for your summer!

We love it – the sun! Winter clothes move back to the farthest corners of our wardrobes, making room for shorts, skirts, colorful shirts, and good vibes. Outdoor pools fill up, and the grilling season is underway! As wonderful as summer may be, sun rays and heat can become a spoiler for your skin, hair, and overall body. We’ll show you how to stay beautiful and healthy through the hot season with the help of antioxidants: Antioxidants – the ultimate Beauty helpers for your summer!

Finally, it’s here! SUMMER! But what does it do to your body?

The switch to daylight saving time and the resulting longer, brighter days make us happy! The produced happiness hormone serotonin creates a fabulous mood! But watch out: UV rays produce cell-damaging free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules missing an electron. To compensate, they attack our cells and can damage eyes, hair, skin, and connective tissue. Accelerated skin aging is just one of the consequences! But there are the noble rescuers in need – antioxidants! Together with sufficient sun protection, they can counteract the cell-damaging free radicals.

Antioxidants – the ultimate Beauty helpers for your summer!

They are our loyal helpers in defense against free radicals because they can interrupt the chain reaction of free radicals and thus protect cells from oxidative stress – no wonder they are also called radical scavengers. Your body can only produce some antioxidants itself. Therefore, they must be supplied in the form of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and secondary plant compounds.

Your TOP nutrient boosters for the hot days!

We have summarized for you which vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and secondary plant compounds best protect your skin & hair as well as your body from sun rays. A special plus for those for whom sun allergies quickly become a summer downer: antioxidants like vitamin C, E, and selenium as well as vitamins A and D also help prevent sun allergies! With these nutrients, a radiant competition with the sun is guaranteed.

VITAMIN A

.. is THE ultimate booster for your eyesight! It is also important for your skin because it increases cell regeneration and skin elasticity. Vitamin A prevents damage in skin cells and supports your body’s regeneration after sunbathing. As an all-rounder, it protects against dryness of hair, nails, and eyes – definitely a plus in summer!

VITAMIN C

.. is known as an important antioxidant that catches free radicals! But vitamin C can do much more: it strengthens connective tissue, improves the absorption of certain nutrients, detoxifies, and keeps blood vessels healthy – in short: it is indispensable for a beautiful and healthy summer!

VITAMIN E

.. works together with vitamin C against free radicals! Vitamin E not only protects your cell walls – it delays the aging of your skin! It is a natural sun protection because it helps maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier and is thus the anti-aging Beauty vitamin of the Beauty world!

SELENIUM

.. is a trace element that must be supplied to the body through food. As an antioxidant, it helps keep tissue young and the subcutaneous tissue elastic, as well as healthy and beautiful hair. Furthermore, it is essential for your immune system and good mood – a must-have for summer!

ZINC

.. is indispensable for your summer! Zinc can help regenerate the skin after extensive sunbathing. Zinc deficiency, on the other hand, leads to hair loss, dry skin, reduced performance, and weakens the immune system. An absolute summer plus: zinc balances sweating!

ALOE VERA

.. has been known for its soothing effect for thousands of years and is a flagship for health and beauty! Did you think Aloe Vera could only be applied to the skin? Wrong! Aloe Vera juice contains seven essential amino acids as well as vitamins A+B+C+E! This makes the plant THE all-round talent: wound healing, skin problems, and sunburn – no problem for Aloe Vera! Drinking Aloe Vera gel can positively affect your ENTIRE body – not just the skin areas where it is applied.

RESVERATROL

.. is considered THE antioxidant par excellence! It is said to offer even greater antioxidant protection than vitamins C and E! If you regularly supply your body with resveratrol, nothing should stand in the way of protection against aggressive free radicals! Resveratrol also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can be preventive for your body in many ways during summer – your skin and hair will thank you!

Our tip to finish:  

Use the summer to counteract vitamin D deficiency! 20 minutes of sunlight per day is enough to stimulate vitamin D production! We recommend applying sun protection only after about 10 minutes in the sun because a high sun protection factor from the start can prevent vitamin D formation – but never skip it entirely!
