March 16th, 2009 . by adminFree radicals are molecules that exist in all of the cells of the human body. Many of them are byproducts of cellular respiration. Some form due to exposure to toxins, UV rays from the sun and pollution. If the molecules get out of control, they do a lot of damage.
In young skin, there are enough antioxidant molecules to keep free radicals from doing any damage. But older people’s skin contains fewer antioxidants, researchers have learned.
