A is for Antioxidants


"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start."
Maria, The Sound of Music
Antioxidants are chemicals that protect cells by neutralizing external forces (such as damage from the sun, pollution, wind, and temperature) and internal factors (for example, emotions, metabolism, and the presence of excess oxygen). Common antioxidants are Vitamins A, C, E, and beta carotene. These special chemicals assist in skin repair and the strengthening of blood vessels.
Phew, so these are necessary to keep skin hydrated and repeair and prevent damage. You can eat leafy greens, high in anitioxidants, and drink teas and tinctures.
Super Salve products have enzyme Q10, Power Repair Products deliver antioxidants to the skin in each step, the Face Mist delivers antioxidants and is refreshing on a hot day, and the Vitamin C is a membrane stabilizer and lifts and tightens collagen. Power Repair and Body Nurish have the daily steps you need, each has a routine packed with step of products with anitoxidants.
And the operative word - daily, nothing drastic.

Super Salve Ingredients

Rather than blather on about how great Super Salve/Power Repair /Body Nurish products are,
here is their ingredient list from their website for motivation:
Antioxidants are a group of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that prevent free radical damage
to the skin. Free radicals show up on your skin as wrinkles, blemishes, brown or
white spots, cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions, little warts, along with sagging and
deterioration of the skin.
Our products include the following antioxidants:
Vitamin C Ester - fat-soluble and absorbs easily into the skin, treats fine lines and wrinkles
 on severely sun-damaged, sunburned, inflamed or irritated skin. Also rejuventates sagging
skin that is loosing its firmness because of lost or damaged collagen.
Alpha Lipoic Acid - both water and fat soluble so it can fight free radicals in any part of the
 cell. It works to improve the overall appearence of the skin, but it is best for treating problems
 like lines and wrinkles, under eye sagging and puffiness, enlarged pores, acne scars, sallow or
dull skin.
CoenzymeQ10 - is fat soluble and can reach the cell plasma membrane where free radical
damage often takes place. Used to treat fine lines on the face.
DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) - is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer. This nutrient
complex is considered a food grade substance and boosts the effects of other antioxidants.
Used to firm the skin on the face and body.
Tocotrienols - very potent form of vitamin E, effective in repairing damaged skin.

 the Power Repair products.
