Science knows twenty-two signs of visible skin aging. The first appear in early youth, and three new ones are added every ten years. About the causes and types of aging, as well as ways to preserve beauty – in the material WDay.ru.
When it comes to the causes of wrinkles, the most common theory of free radicals, proposed by Harman M.D. of the University of Nebraska around the mid-1950s. According to her, free radicals are oxygen molecules that have lost one electron as a result of reactions with other molecules. The loss pushes these, in principle, harmless substances on the wrong path.
In an effort to “heal” themselves, radicals begin to trade in theft: they steal electrons from other healthy molecules, which generate even more free radicals, and also damage cell components. Especially goes the collagen protein, which gives our skin its elasticity. The radicals attack him in the most merciless manner.
Free radicals are caused by processes in the body and also by external factors, including sunlight, cigarette smoke and air pollution.
