Protect Your Skin: How Antioxidants & SPFs Prevent & Reduce Sun Damage
Although the summer sun feels warm and inviting on the skin, it’s not so great for your skin cells. The sun’s ultraviolet rays cause premature aging and skin cancer and may even worsen some skin conditions. For those of us who have experienced more than one sunburn in our lives--and, let’s face it, who hasn’t - we may be wondering if there’s anything we can do to reverse the existing damage and prevent future damage.

Skin care’s dynamic duo
Skin experts have long suspected the role antioxidants have played in protecting the skin and reversing sun damage. A few years ago, several studies confirmed that antioxidants, particularly vitamins C and E, play a role in repairing harmful damage from ultraviolet radiation. Further, antioxidants also help protect skin cells from the free radicals that damage your DNA and increase the risk of skin cancer. If antioxidants protect your skin cells and help reverse damage, SPFs help create a barrier against UVB rays, the rays responsible for painful sunburns. After all, a sunburn is the first sign of sun damage. SPFs delay sunburn while your skin is exposed to the sun. Although many people argue the higher the SPF number, the better the protection, in reality there’s not much difference between an SPF 30 and an SPF 100.Reverse sun damage
The most effective way to repair existing sun damage and prevent it in the future is to use products that are full of antioxidants and contain an SPF. Use them consistently to maximise your results and create a healthy, youthful complexion.
