Free radicals are highly unstable oxygen molecules with unpaired electrons that must seek other molecules with stable electrons to achieve their own stabilization. Attaching to the stable electrons of other molecules accomplishes stability, but as aresult the "good molecule" becomes a free radical and a chain reaction can follow. The damage caused can range from damage to death of the cell.
This cellular breakdown manifests itself superficiall in lines, wrinkles, dry skin, loss of elasticity, and skin discolouration. On a deeper level, free radical destruction can substantially destroy the collagen and elastin support system, degrade DNA, damage vital enzymes, impair critiacl immune functions, and cause general tissue deterioration.
The Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF30 Waterproof combines a microscopic sponge encapsulation system (polymer spheres that entrap and absorb unwanted materials such as excess oils), sun protection, antioxidant and hydrating complex.
