What are free radicals and how can antioxidants help?
Free radicals are microscopic/invisible molecules that are highly destructive and can cause damage to cells and tissues in your body, and even DNA. Free radical damage can result from toxic chemicals, excessive sun exposure, stress, smoking, poor diet, pesticides and even excessive exercise. Because the skin is the largest organ in the body, it can be particularly vulnerable to free radical damage. Protecting your skin is critical since it provides a barrier to protect your body from environmental assaults. Antioxidants provide superior protection from free radical damage. They act as scavengers that neutralize free radicals so that optimal health can be restored. Applying potent topical antioxidants can help protect, reverse and restore your skin to a more youthful and vibrant state. The La Vie Celeste collection provides powerful antioxidant properties.
