Your body produces them naturally, in response to environmental stressors.</p> <p class="m-v">These outside sources can include UV rays, toxins, pollution, smoke, environmental damage, and even cigarette smoke. Each can damage your body’s cells, proteins, and DNA by altering their chemical structure.</p> <p class="m-v">While free radicals are a natural byproduct of cellular functions when cells are exposed to environmental stressors, they can wreak havoc in your body when they accumulate in excess. They contribute to skin damage, speed up the symptoms of aging, cause cellular death, and an increased risk of skin cancer.</p> <p class="m-v">Luckily, there are natural skincare ingredients that can help to protect your skin from free radicals – and provide amazing skin-efits when used topically!</p> <div class="m-v text-center h3"><b>How to Help Fight Free Radicals</b></div> <p class="m-v">Free radicals can cause cellular damage throughout your body, so you’ll want to take a multi-pronged approach to fighting them.

In other words, they help to prevent free radicals from being formed, and aid in lessening them from your tissue.</p> <img class="m-v" alt="Acai hanging from a tree" src="https://opportunitytobehealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Acai_ac995fd3-3714-407e-9d73-bc9b575ae955_1024x1024.jpg"> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#4. Acai</b></p> <p class="m-v">Acai berries may have the <a class="thick-u-l" href="https://www.100percentpure.com/blogs/feed/acai-berry-skin-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest antioxidant content</a> of any food. The naturally occurring antioxidants in acai, which also include vitamin C, help to scavenge free radicals and promote healthy cellular functions.</p> <img class="m-v" alt="Fresh Goji Berry" src="https://opportunitytobehealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Goji_1024x1024.jpg"> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#5. Goji</b></p> <p class="m-v">Goji berries are also high in antioxidants, including vitamins A and C. While these antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals (and prevent them from being formed in the first place), the anti-inflammatory properties of goji also help to improve the overall appearance of your skin.</p> <img class="m-v" alt="All natural aloe" src="https://opportunitytobehealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Aloe_a7db7ae4-2553-4d25-a80b-97505a65c144_1024x1024.jpg"> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#6. Aloe</b></p> <p class="m-v">Aloe vera gel contains polyphenols (much like EGCG), which exhibit antioxidant properties. It’s been shown to scavenge free radicals, which - along with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties - make it a great, multitasking ingredient in skincare, with the potential to help heal sun damage as well as to prevent it.</p> <img class="m-v" alt="Yerba-Mate" src="https://opportunitytobehealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Yerba-Mate_1024x1024.jpg"> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#7. Yerba Mate</b></p> <p class="m-v">Yerba mate contains polyphenols, xanthines, and caffeoyl derivatives, all of which are antioxidants that can eliminate free radicals and prevent them from forming.

Olive Squalane</b></p> <p class="m-v">Olive squalane can help to prevent free radical formation. Squalane oil is naturally produced by our bodies and helps to keep our skin moisturized and healthy. However, our bodies tend to produce less of it as we grow older, so including it in your skincare regime can help to keep your skin youthful and vibrant.</p> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#10. Avocado Oil</b></p> <p class="m-v">One of the ways in which free radicals can harm our tissue is by damaging the mitochondria of our cells, causing them to die. Avocado oil protects mitochondria to prevent cellular deaths and helps to prevent excessive production of free radicals.</p> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">#11. Hyaluronic Acid</b></p> <p class="m-v">Hyaluronic acid helps to protect the skin tissue against damage from free radicals, and may also exhibit free radical scavenging activity.

Incorporating green tea products into your daily skincare routine is the most effective approach to helping to guard against free-radical damage.</p> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">How Do Antioxidants in Skincare Products Protect Against Free Radical Damage?</b></p> <p class="m-v">Free radicals will then 'steal' other existing set's partners, creating a chain, multiplying and exacerbating their damage potential. Antioxidants work by providing that solitary electron with a pair, therefore neutralizing the molecule. Antioxidants also strengthen their antioxidant network so having more is more!</p> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">Can I combine green tea with other natural ingredients for better sun damage repair?</b></p> <p class="m-v">Absolutely! The combination of green tea and plant-based retinol, for instance, allows your skin to tolerate higher concentrations of retinol with less chance of skin irritation. This dynamic duo is powerful for fighting the signs of skin aging. Its use is limited by irritation and green tea's soothing effect can help.</p> <p class="m-v"><b class="font-bold">Is green tea beneficial for all skin types when it comes to sun damage repair?</b></p> <p class="m-v">There are no known side effects to green tea skincare. Unless you have a green tea sensitivity or super-sensitive skin or reactive skin, consider it completely safe to use for your skin. Better yet, green tea can benefit all skin types and conditions (whether you have acne-prone skin, dry skin, or mature skin). Fortunately, it’s gentle enough even for those with sensitive, reactive skin, if you patch-test first.</p> </div> </div> </article> </section>
