Jan Marini Atioxidant
Currently, tremendous interest and research is being focused on antioxidants and their value in helping to reverse and prevent free radical damage. By definition, free radicals are highly unstable oxygen molecules with unpaired electrons that must seek other molecules with stable electrons to achieve their own stabilization. Attaching to the stable electron of other molecules accomplishes stability, but as a result the "good" molecule is then transformed by the free radical into another free radical whose function and shape is now altered.
Free radicals work quickly. In mere seconds, one radical can trigger a chain reaction that produces thousands of additional free radicals. The damage caused by the free radicals can range from cell damage or ultimately, cell death. Such cellular breakdown manifests itself superficially in lines, wrinkles, dry skin, loss of elasticity, and skin discoloration. On a deeper level, free radical destruction can substantially destroy the collagen and elastin support system, degrade DNA, damage vital enzymes, impair critical immune functions, and cause general tissue deterioration.
Certain substances termed as "antioxidants" can interrupt or even prevent this cellular onslaught. Another term for antioxidants is "free radical scavengers" because of their ability to provide electrons to which the free radical can attach itself. The antioxidant electron can thus be rendered harmless before it can attach itself to a so called "healthy" radical and begin the destructive chain reaction.
Physicians and scientific researchers now recognize the tremendous preventative and anti-aging potential of topically applied preparations that contain antioxidant capabilities. Jan Marini Skin Research has developed the antioxidant product group be incorporating substances that have proven remarkable benefits to aid in preventing one of the primary sources of cellular damage and aging.
Please review the Jan Marini Antioxidant products we carry:
| Product | Content | Description |
 | 2 oz | Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant |
 | 2 oz | Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant Tinted Unlike traditional sunscreen, Daily Face Protectant never feels heavy or greasy, but instead gives a lasting oil-free matte finish that leaves facial skin with a soft silky conditioned effect as it aids in increasing and sustaining moisture content. This is due to microscopic sponge technology. Microscopic sponges are polymer spheres with huge numbers of interconnecting spaces that can entrap and absorb unwanted materials such as excess oils. Their virtually unlimited capacity enables the elimination of undesirable shine, as well as continuous monitoring for all-day control. |
 | 1 oz | Antioxidant Skin Silk Protecting Hydrator Skin Silk Hydrator is scientifically formulated with a series of phospholipids that are identical to the lipid membranes protecting the cells. These extracts may actually help to restore the cells' flexibility and create the optimum balance of maximum cell efficiency. Second, Skin Silk minimizes free radical activity by adding a unique lipoamino acid that inhibits the visible signs of skin aging and acts as a free radical scavenger by assisting in preventing lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and actinic radiation (sun damage). Third, Skin Silk provides a velvety soft finish for any skin type, including oily or acne prone. Its amazing self-regulating quality controls absorption so that, depending on climate and skin type, your skin will only absorb what it requires. Finally, hydroscopic (water attracting) agent have been included in significant quantities to increase the skin's moisture levels for a beautifully soft and radiant appearance. |
 | 1/2 oz | Antioxidant Recover-E Recover-E utilizes three of the most potent free radical scavengers, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and beta carotene. Beta carotene is an effective single antioxidant, and because it is fat soluble it is able to work in tandem with Vitamin E in the lipid membrane of the cell. Researchers estimate that a single molecule of Vitamin E within a membrane is sufficient to protect 1,000 lipid molecules from free radical chain reaction! Next, and equally impressive, Recover-E contains a bioflavonoid. Among other attributes, bioflavonoids are believed to reduce capillary fragility, thereby increasing oxygenation. Bioflavonoids also appear suited to the prevention of membrane damage because they gravitate to the lipid bilayer and offer immediate protection. Another valuable aspect of bioflavonoid technology is what is termed "co-worker status." Besides stopping free radical attacks, bioflavonoids can reactivate Vitamin E by passing another electron to "worn out" Vitamin E in order for the Vitamin E to continue acting as a scavenger against free radicals. |
 | 4 oz | Antioxidant Body Block SPF 30 Jan Marini Skin Research Body Block is an SPF 30 waterproof, broad spectrum sunscreen. Designed to be used in conjunction with Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub, and as an antioxidant component. Body Block incorporates state of the art sun protection with a waterproofing agent that ensures continuous coverage. This oil-free matte finish formula conditions body skin and increases the skin's moisture content with exceptional hydrating benefits. Consistent daily use aids in preventing skin aging associated with cumulative sun exposure. |
