Free...radicals..?
Whether you're in skincare or just watching your diet, the free radical is always thrown around.
But what exactly is it? And heck, why does it even matter?
Free radicals are formed when oxygen molecules are split. This split could cause those single atoms to have unpaired electrons. Which forms free radicals.
This is dangerous. Why? Because in this state, those lone electrons from the oxygen molecules will try to bond with other molecules. Which starts a process called oxidative stress.
The result?
Your body cell is damaged. It can even cause your skin to age.
That's why many nutritionist and doctors urge you to take food that are antioxidants.
