Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid that has attracted widespread attention because of its beauty and skin care benefits.
Astaxanthin is known as the “king of carotenoids” because it is more powerful than other members of the carotenoid family. This compound has been shown to have multiple health benefits. Because of its positive effect on the skin, it is widely used in the skin care products. This carotenoid is not readily available because it comes from few sources. In addition to the tiny algae called hygrochlorella, which produces astaxanthin, krill oil, shellfish, salmon and rainbow trout also contain astaxanthin, but in small quantities. Vegetables such as red peppers and carrots, as well as some fruits, also contain this compound. Incorporating these foods into your diet can increase the amount of these carotenoids that are needed to keep your skin looking good and healthy.
What profit does astaxanthin have to the skin?
Astaxanthin has a positive effect on aging skin, whether through diet or health supplements. Here are some of the magic benefits of astaxanthin:
• Improve skin quality;
• Relieve dry skin;
• Prevent sunburn by reducing the harmful effects of the sun's ULTRAVIOLET rays;
• Reduce the skin's sensitivity to hot sunlight and extend the duration of tolerance to sunlight;
• Helps reverse signs of aging such as wrinkles, crow's feet and dark spots;
• Effective treatment of skin diseases such as acne and rashes;
• Gives skin a smooth feel by increasing elasticity.
The principle of astaxanthin skin care
Being in the sun is sometimes unavoidable. Exposure to sunlight is one of the main factors that affect the skin and lead to damage. In addition to sunlight, other environmental factors such as pollution and ozone can also worsen skin quality. The UVA and UVB rays released by the sun are very strong, which can penetrate deep into the skin and induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing negative effects on the skin. When reactive oxygen species are in excess, damage is further increased, leading to dark spots, dark circles under the eyes, dry skin and crow's feet, and other signs of aging.
Astaxanthin in the body has an internal sunscreen effect that protects against these negative effects .Many skin care products contain this ingredient to keep skin young and healthy. For topical use of such products, astaxanthin initiates its active mechanism. Astaxanthin removes harmful substances from the skin and restores its natural shine.
Sunburn is inflammation of the skin caused by uv damage.This problem can be alleviated with astaxanthin because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
Astaxanthin skin care and health efficacies are powerful than other carotenoids. It is 65 times the free radical scavenging effect of vitamin C, 54 times of beta carotene, 14 times of vitamin E. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier and the retina barrier, and is part of the cell membrane because it is fat-soluble. It is these benefits that make astaxanthin an ideal anti-wrinkle skin care product.
