The link between free radicals and red light and how to get the pros and not the cons!
Channel: The Honest Channel
Date: 2023-05-28

Today we’re taking on the topic of free radicals – a term that’s commonly used in marketing where we hear we need to invest in products that fight them. But what even are free radicals, are they always bad for us, and what does that mean when it comes to choosing skincare and using red light?
Red light therapy triggers a burst of free radicals and there is a balance to be found in getting the most beneficial amount without going too far.
Here to guide us through all this is Bev May Sanderson, science graduate and founder of Maysama skincare who has made it a personal quest to understand red light and how to harness the power of antioxidants and free radicals.
