With summer almost here - it’s more important than ever to look after our skin. We are all aware of the detrimental effect the sun can have on our skin. We are constantly reminded to cover up, put on sunscreen and a hat - but you can also protect yourself from the inside out.
夏天快到了，我们对肌肤嫩滑度的要求比任何时候都要高。我们都了解太阳的照射对我们的皮肤产生有害的影响。人们通常都会涂上防晒霜和带上帽子进行保护，但是我们也需要从内而外地进行健康保养。
The skin ages due to the effects of free radicals, which reduce the skin's ability to heal and regenerate. Free radical damage can result in skin discolouration, blemishes, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. Poor diet and lifestyle along with excess sun exposure are the main causes of free radical damage.
自由基受损会影响组织和细胞的再生能力和皮肤愈合能力，从而使皮肤老化，皱纹出现和失去弹性。不良的饮食习惯，生活作息以及过多的日照是造成自由基损伤的主要原因。
By supporting our bodies with vitamins, minerals and plant antioxidants, we can boost our body’s own natural antioxidant defence system, reducing free radical damage to our skin. Antioxidants are free radical neutralisers that help our skin to regenerate, reduce the ageing process and care for our skin inside and out.
补充维生素，矿物质和植物抗氧化剂能提高自身的天然抗氧化防御系统，减低自由基对皮肤的损害。抗氧化能有效地清除自由基，焕肤再生，延缓衰老，从内而外地保养皮肤。
Great skin requires the right nutrients
Healthy glowing skin comes not only from a careful skincare regime but also from within. Our bodies need a greater antioxidant supply than we can receive even from the most “ideal” diet. That’s why everybody needs plenty of antioxidants from fruit and vegetables, plus effective supplemental antioxidants to further stop and neutralise the impact of free radicals.
光滑健康的肌肤不仅要细心地进行表皮保护，也很需要从内保养皮肤细胞再生。我们的身体须要吸收大量的抗氧化剂，最佳的吸收途径是饮食。水果和蔬菜中都有抗氧化的作用，所以每一个人都需要食用大量的水果和蔬菜，再加上高效的抗氧化补充剂，以进一步地制止和消除自由基的影响。
Grape seed extract is a rich source of OPCs (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) and is therefore an excellent antioxidant to protect cells from free radical damage. Studies have shown that grape seed extract helps with the renewal of collagen and elastin in the skin and blood vessels, and inhibits the enzymes involved in collagen destruction. Grape seed extract is also highly bioavailable and provides greater antioxidant protection than beta-carotene and vitamins C and E. 葡萄籽含有一种叫葡多酚的物质，也称原花青素（OPC），具有很强的抗氧化作用，防止自由基造成的细胞损伤。 研究表明，葡萄籽提取物有助于恢复皮肤和血管的胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白再生，并抑制酶参与胶原蛋白的破坏。葡萄籽提取物是高生物利用率，比β胡萝卜素，维生素C和E更大的抗氧化保护。
