skin via the formation of ROS. Good scientific data show that topical antioxidants and chelating agents can help protect the skin from these environmental stressors. Therefore, to preserve good skin health, adults should be advised not only to regularly use sunscreen, but also to apply an antioxidant and chelating agent every morning and every night.
