How to Prevent Free Radicals from Damaging Your Skin and DNA
Top 3 Methods

Heavy Metal Detox
Good immune system can fight bacteria and viruses, but it can not fight the heavy metals. They are arsenic, aluminum, antimony, cadmium, lead, mercury, uranium, and others. Heavy Metals are partially responsible for premature aging. When a molecule of a heavy metal meets a free radical, the free radical attacks it stealing its electron. This way the heavy metal molecule becomes a free radical itself. This process cascades until it disrupts a living cell.

Heavy Metal Detox assists in preventing inflammations and free radical damage in all organ system, including skin. It is necessary to perform a heavy metal detox regularly. Detoxification can be done with herbal supplements in the form of chelators and antioxidants. Chelators grab free radicals and eliminate them trough the liver, kidneys, or colon. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, which ends the electron-stealing reaction.

During Heavy Metal Detox, the diet should be rich in water, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids. Before starting heavy metal detox, try lymph and blood cleansing to speed up effects of heavy metal detoxification.

Sunblock
Everyone regardless of age and previous sun exposure should try to prevent as much damage as possible. The sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, even in indirect sunlight, produce free radicals. Their activity reduces collagen recourses, and contributes to photoaging and skin cancer. To prevent following wrinkles, sun spots, discolorations and fine lines, protect with sunblock.

Sunblock protects the skin by absorbing and reflecting UVB and UVA radiation. There are 20 times more UVA rays than there are UVB rays.

UVA rays are most responsible for the DNA damage, because they produce free radicals. Chemical sunblocks absorb UVA rays. Most effective ingredients in the chemical sunblocks are Mexoril SX and Parsol 1789
UVB rays cause thickening of the skin, sunburn, sun spots, and cancer. Physical sunblocks have extremely fine particles of minerals that stay on the skins surface and create a barrier for UVB rays. Look for the dioxid or zinc oxide in the ingredient list!

Any sunblock has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating. The SPF rating shows how long a sunscreen remains effective on the skin. For example: SPF 15 stays effective for about 150 minutes. But, just because the bottle say SPF 60, doesn’t mean it contains UVA protection.

Moisturizers
Moisturizers prevent and treat dry skin, protect sensitive skin, improve skin tone and texture, mask imperfections, and fight early aging signs. Look for moisturizers that reach in active ingredients such as peptides, since the amino acids can help to encourage natural metabolic skin functions and healthy complexion. Moisturizers generous in growth factors may facilitate cellular reproduction, reinforcing skin elasticity.

Important ingredients to look for in a moisturizer are:

Humectants (alpha hydroxy acids, lactic acid, and others). These are substances that absorb water from the air and hold the moisture in the skin.
Emollients (butyl stearate, glycerin, lanolin, mineral oil, petrolatum, and others). These ingredients fill in the spaces between the cells in the skin, helping replace lipids, which smoothes the rough skin.

Don’t forget there are oil-based and water-based moisturizers. Oil-based leave a slight residue on the skin, which gives them more staying power than water-based moisturizers have. Remember, most creams and lotions on the market are water based.
