Free radicals actually play an important role in several biological processes, and are created as an essrntial part of life. Given their high reactivity, these same free radicals can cause unwanted side effects, becomming harmful to the skin and the body as a whole. typically, free radicals are neutralized by antioxidants, namely vitamins A, C and E.

Keeping the fountain in balance: Balance and moderation are indeed key to healthy aging, overall wellness and beautiful skin.

Meditate and breathe: Take deep, conscious breaths through the day. Breathing brings in new oxygen, new life and calms the spirit. Take 10 minutes a day to meditate.

Water: Hydrate yourself! Most of us do not drink enough, but it is possible to overdo it too. Be aware of water intake.
