ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the skincare as the use of cosmetics to care for the skin and focus on antioxidant nutraceuticals applied for skin's cleansing, massaging, toning, and moisturizing. Green tea has been well proved to provide a great deal of benefits due to its antioxidant, photochemopreventive, and anti-aging properties. Green tea has been widely used either as monotherapy or combined with other ingredients for synergistic effects. The chapter includes sunscreen to discuss the use of antioxidant nutraceuticals for the health of skin. Sunscreen prevents the sun's ultraviolet radiation from reaching the skin. In a study of airborne particle exposure and extrinsic skin aging, the impact of air pollution on skin aging in 400 Caucasian women aged 70–80 was evaluated. The results showed that air pollution exposure was markedly related to sign of skin aging, especially associated with pigment spots but less associated with wrinkles.
