What are the effects and functions of grape seed mask?

Grape seed mask is a mask that many middle-aged and elderly women particularly like to apply. This is because it is very beneficial to the skin of middle-aged and elderly women. So what are the effects and functions of grape seed mask? In fact, it has four functions. The first function is that it can remove free radicals and resist oxidation.

1. Eliminate free radicals and resist oxidation

Free radicals are one of the important factors causing human aging and many diseases. About 80% to 90% of aging and degenerative diseases are related to free radicals, including skin dark spots, wrinkles, cataracts, cancer, heart disease, etc. The high concentration of grape seed extract contained in grape seeds is a pure natural substance and one of the most effective plant-based antioxidants discovered to date. It can remove free radicals and enhance immunity.

2. Reduce spots and whiten skin

From the physical aspect: With the increase of age and the pollution of the environment, the human body produces a large number of free radicals, causing metabolic disorders and excessive production of lipofuscin in the body. Its decomposition pathway is blocked, and a large amount of lipofuscin (RN=CH-CH=NHR', i.e. Schiff alkali) is deposited in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, brain and blood vessel cells, forming lipofuscin spots, causing organ damage and functional decline; lipofuscin is deposited in skin cells (especially the skin of the face and hands), forming skin pigmentation, chloasma, butterfly spots and age spots, which seriously affect the patient's appearance and cause great mental pain to the patient. Grape seed is known as the "most powerful free radical scavenger". It can decompose lipofuscin, protect various organs, and lighten spots within the body.

3. Maintain skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles

Skin belongs to connective tissue, and the collagen and elastin it contains play an important role in the overall structure of the skin. Proanthocyanidin soft capsules play a dual role on the skin: on the one hand, they can promote moderate cross-linking of collagen; on the other hand, as an effective free radical scavenger, they can prevent "excessive cross-linking" of the skin. The occurrence of this abnormal physiological condition also prevents the appearance of wrinkles and scars on the skin, keeping the skin delicate and smooth.

4. Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects

The anti-inflammatory property of grape seeds was noticed as early as the 1950s. This is due to its antioxidant property. Because it can inhibit the synthesis and release of inflammatory factors such as histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, it can play an anti-allergic role, especially for pollen allergies.
