Wait…what??
I just read this interesting tidbit on StyleList.com:
“If you’ve been diligently applying all of your antioxidant-infused products every a.m., there’s a chance that they can turn on you once they’re exposed to UV rays, and — brace yourself — become pro-oxidants, actually generating free radicals, according to Thomas Meyer, PhD of the Coppertone Solar Research Center.
This is a big deal, since its free-radicals that break down our cell structure and – in short – make us look old. Antioxidants were the chemicals that were supposed to protect us.
Yikes. So does that mean all of our fancy antioxidant-rich products should be saved for nighttime? Not necessarily.”
First of all, I do realize that I am the first one to contribute to spreading rumors & gossip if this ends up being not true, but it just seems a little suspicious to me that the person who is claiming this is the same person who has developed the “solution”. Sounds like a Mad Men episode to me…and I’m still not buying the whole high SPF application yet either. I’d opt for a more organic method rather than smearing more chemicals onto your face…but that’s just me.
