In addition to the antimicrobial effect against acne, the mangosteen can also offer other benefits to the skin, protecting it from premature aging caused by ultraviolet sun rays. When your skin is exposed to the sun, it begins to produce metalloproteinases, enzymes that help the body repair the sun-damaged connective tissue. However, not all metalloproteinases are useful. Some of them break down collagen and elastin, which can eventually cause wrinkles. It is known that free radicals, unstable molecules, generated by such phenomena as air pollution and cigarette smoke, contribute to the production of harmful metalloproteinases. The good news: antioxidant-rich foods can neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing the production of metalloproteinases that destroy collagen and elastin. And when it comes to antioxidant-rich foods, mangosteen is on the top positions. The extract of mangosteen fights bacteria.
