Besides melting icebergs and endangering polar bears, pollution and ozone depletion is stripping your youth away – but don't worry, we can help.

How does pollution harm skin? "Free radicals," or unstable oxygen molecules, impede healthy skin cell functioning and deplete collagen stores. Collagen is the fibrous protein mesh that gives skin its elasticity, tensile strength and youthful resiliency. When deprived of it, your face crumbles - skin slackens as age lines and wrinkles appear. Antioxidants are scientifically proven to prevent and protect against free radical damage. To help repair aging skin from free radical damage, consider using an anti-aging cream with antioxidants and complementing it with an antioxidant nutritional supplement. Containing some of the most powerful antioxidants in existence, MenScience's protective Anti-Aging Formula helps neutralize free radical damage to diminish the visible signs of aging and improve overall skin quality.

Airborne microscopic pollutants can clog your pores, which can affect both your skin's health and its appearance. To remove the pollutants and impurities that accumulate on skin throughout the day, use a gentle daily cleanser with glycolic and salicylic acid. Another excellent option is to use an exfoliating tonic as it can clear pores of environmental pollutants while removing dead skin cells and organic debris.

Caused by exposure to UVA or UVB (ultraviolet) light, photo aging is the primary reason skin ages. Photo aging processes include abnormal elastin regrowth, which is responsible for age lines, wrinkles and sun spots. Aptly named, elastin allows bodily tissues to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. To protect against sun damage, regularly wear a sunblock that contains an SPF of 30 and shields skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Sunblocks fortified with full-spectrum sunscreen ingredients (such as titanium dioxide) repel ultraviolet rays and deflect heat without irritating skin. Don't forget your lips, they're also affected by photoaging, so be sure to use a lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher.

MILLIONS OF MEN aren't getting enough antioxidants in their diets. According to the Food and Drug Administration, men should have at least 5 servings of antioxidant rich foods each day. Besides helping protect the body from the visible signs of the aging process (such as skin, lines, wrinkles and a dry complexion), antioxidants have also been linked to increased immunity, cancer prevention, nervous system improvements, decreases in cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The best sources of Vitamin A, C and other antioxidants are brightly colored fruits and vegetables, but most men are not getting nearly enough of these. Although the produce isn't in short supply, their antioxidant content is - a situation that's exacerbated by modern production and commercial practices. While already grown in polluted, vitamin-depleted soils, commercial convenience strips antioxidant-rich foods of their vitamins during processing and shipment. Very often during food processing, skins and outer leaves are removed to eliminate dirt and pollutants. The regrettable side-effect? Many of the vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients are lost. If you’re like millions of men and not getting enough antioxidants, consider taking a broad spectrum nutritional supplement with both the traditional Vitamins A, C, E and the scarce, yet extremely powerful biofavonoids, catechins and idebenone antioxidants.

With recent alarm over the mercury levels, many men are neglecting to eat fish. A hugely important part of a healthy diet, fish offer a lean, low-calorie source of protein that is rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends that men consume foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, like fatty fish, at least twice a week. Some men opt for the farm-raised variety – but there's a caveat. Fish obtain heart healthy Omega-3 fatty acids from algae, so farmed fish aren't getting the necessary amounts. Worse, farmed fish are given harmful antibiotics, colorants and may even be submitted to pesticides and other pollutants. For men wanting Omega-3 fatty acids from a pure source (that have been distilled of hazardous PCB, toxins and mercury particles) MenScience offers a pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 nutritional supplement (which offers the highest levels of EPA/DHA available).
