The use of natural products for skin care has become more common in the past few years. Consumers are more aware of unnatural chemicals and other toxins and are searching for natural products to use on their skin. Fortunately, a large number of botanical antioxidants exist and are being marketed as either over-the-counter or prescription skin care products. Antioxidants can have profound effects on the intracellular signaling pathways involved in skin damage and thus may be protective against photodamage as well as may prevent wrinkles and inflammation. This supplement discusses the potent effect that botanical antioxidants may have in the management of a broad range of skin issues, from photoaging to inflammatory skin conditions.
在过去几年中，使用天然产品进行皮肤护理变得更加普遍。消费者对非天然化学物质和其他毒素有了更多认识，正在寻找用于皮肤的天然产品。幸运的是，存在大量植物抗氧化剂，并作为非处方或处方皮肤护理产品进行销售。抗氧化剂可对涉及皮肤损伤的细胞内信号通路产生深远影响，因此可能对光损伤具有保护作用，还可能预防皱纹和炎症。本补充资料讨论了植物抗氧化剂在管理从光老化到炎症性皮肤病等广泛皮肤问题方面可能具有的显著效果。
