We are forever looking for new and more 'natural' ways to stave off the effects of ageing and cell damage, trying everything from expensive Swedish mud baths to even pricier face masks. What if the most obvious solution was under our noses the whole time?

There is nothing unnatural about this process but it does create harmful molecules known as Free Radicals and it is these volatile substances that can wreak havoc on cells. Most molecules are paired but Free Radicals are odd with either too many or not enough electrons and so they charge around our unwitting bodies either grab on to molecules or donate them to cells.
