• Free Radicals are loose electrons, which freely move around in the body and bounce off of healthy cells. This causes damage to the cells resulting in inflammation.
• Skin wounding results from the free radicals attacking the outer layer of the cell structure. This causes an actual wound to the skin.
• Inflammation is one of the strongest reasons that skin appears to age. It causes redness; swelling and a general unhealthy look to skin.
• Poor hydration comes from the inability of the skin to absorb and retain its natural water content due to the damage from the above causes.
• Sun damage results from the increased absorption of the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Because of the increased strength of the sun's rays, the skin's natural protection is no longer adequate for natural protection.
