Antioxidants Become Sunscreen when Used During the Day [DermTV.com Epi #207]
In prior episodes, you’ve heard Dr. Schultz stress the importance of using antioxidants. However, if applied during the day, instead of protecting the skin’s cells from within, they act like sunscreens. In this episode, Dr. Schultz explains why.
thank you for doing another great video! Can you give a product review for a stable antioxidant
Great video. I would love to know what type of antioxidant I should be using. Can you please offer some suggestions? Are there any good drugstore brands that do a good job?
how can I use both an antioxidant and retionds together?
i love how your videos are short and sweet
the point gets across extremeely well
can you recommend some antioxidant products?
This is really interesting! Great information.
Anyone have any examples, etc of antioxidants to use on your face…?? thanks!
Alternatively, does that mean that, if worn at night, a sunscreen will function as an antioxidant?
@brazilrebecca you can use organic green tea but the only prob w/ that is it leaves a slight yellow tint on the skin. But lots of natural items contain good antioxidants, so my advise to you is to check at a health food store and ask for a good antiO you can apply to the face.
that is really interesting
@brazilrebecca The ones from Paula´s Choice are great!
very interesting. aren’t there antioxidants though that make your skin more light sensitive which is why you have to apply them at night? Vitamin A, I thought,… (retinol)??
is green tea a good antioxidant?
hello doctor
what i have to use to lighten that darkspot? please help me
iam pregnant now 30 weeks and iam having lots of pigmentation in my face looks so dark
what is the best skincare u recommand?i have combination skin/breakout too
@nicenilam I wouldn’t apply any until you deliver. Speak with your ob/gyn regarding what is safe to use during pregnancy, they all have different views.
Very informative and great tips too.. So tell me Dr. Schultz why do we develope extra pigmentation while pregnant on our face only always?
Peace~
Is it ok to have products combined, like a moisturizer with sunscreen and antioxidants? Or should they be separate products?
@brazilrebecca
Look for a sunscreen with some
C + E are best imo.
I dont understand the point of putting on antioxidant on top of sunscreen during the day… if it functions as just another sunscreen, it’s a wasted effort isnt it?
What is a topical antioxident? is it like serum?
