What Causes Free Radicals

This discussion of free radicals begs the question, “How do free radicals form in the first place?” There are a number of different environmental factors that can create free radicals, including the sun’s UV rays, air pollution, cigarette smoke, and preservatives in our food. Although your body can naturally produce antioxidants to help get rid of free radicals and prevent subsequent damage, this supply gets used up very rapidly due to sun exposure and other environmental insults. Note that oxygen itself is also a cause of skin aging, which is why I am not a fan of oxygen facials and oxygen-containing creams. If you are exposed to oxygen, you need to boost your number of antioxidants to protect the cells in your skin and body.
