Dont let the suns rays cheat you out of your youthful good looks. There is a revolution in progress and its called the Free-radical theory of aging. Believe me this is one revolution you want to get in on right away.

I found the biggest secret to looking young is being young. Leading an active healthy life is by far the best way to look young and be young. A good multivitamin, good food and exercise are the secret. Even the healthiest of us though can have our skin ravaged by the sun. An active life unfortunately exposes us to harmful things, and over exercise can deplete our skin of essential fats, that give us our youthful looks. It’s like the old proverb. Either you can live your life in a cave, like a monk, and die with pearly white skin. On the other hand, you can live your life in the Sun, and die looking like an old man. The monk only knows the cave the old man knows the world, hows the wiser?”

Science, over the past few years, has come a long ways in it’s understanding of what causes our skin to age. Mostly, by the understanding of what is called the Free-Radical theory of ageing. Which states that atoms with free electrons cause damage to cell structures. This has been the break thought in cosmetic products that deal with aging.

Free- Radicals releace energy into your skin that acks to disrupt your skins cells. An antioxidant is like a magnet that collects these free-radicals before they can damage your cell structures. In reality, they are atoms that dont have enough electrons, so they collect electrons or free-radicals from atoms that are giving them off.

The sun as well as toxins in the food we eat and chemicals that we live and work around all cause a build up of these free radicals in our bodies. The good news is that this is not a new phenomenon to life on this planet. As our understanding of this posses increases so does our understanding of how other life form around us has adapted to fight this effect. No life forms have adapted more than plants and herbs. Probably, because they have been around the longest. The following is a list of herbal and mineral ingredients that have been found to adhere to the laws of the theory of Free-radical aging and should be in any product that deals with this science.

*Argireline inhibits your skins muscles ability to contract which over a thirty day period lessons the depth of wrinkles by 27%.

*Idebenone is a strong antioxidant that chemically links itself to free-radicals preventing them from damaging your skin.

*DMAE helps stabilize your skins cellular structure with it’s strong antioxidizing effect.
