Restore, Protect, and Renew: Targeted Solutions for Sun-Damaged Skin
Sun-damaged skin occurs when the skin is overexposed to harmful UV rays, leading to long-term damage. This can result in sunburn, premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even an increased risk of skin cancer. The UV rays penetrate the skin and break down collagen and elastin, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Over time, this can cause wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and uneven skin tone. It's crucial to protect your skin from further damage by using broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade during peak sun hours. If your skin is already sun-damaged, skincare products with antioxidants, hydrating ingredients, and gentle exfoliants can help repair and restore its appearance, promoting a healthier, more youthful look.
The ABC of sunscreen
The single most important step you can take to protect and preserve youthful, healthy skin? Sunscreen. We have the right textures and finishes for everyday use and concern under the sun. There is a range of UV-Filters but there are a majority you want to avoid; as they either degrade, provide minimal UVA protection or are simply not safe to use.
DOES SUNSCREEN DEPLETE YOU OF VITAMIN D?
Vitamin D is vital for health, aiding in bone strength and potentially supporting other processes like cancer prevention and heart health. While UVB radiation from the sun is a primary source, it is also not the only source. The sun still poses risks like skin cancer and premature aging, necessitating a balanced approach. Sunscreen, despite reducing UVB exposure, has minimal impact on vitamin D levels due to insufficient application and incidental sun exposure. Experts recommend short, non-burning sun exposure, such as 15 minutes on exposed skin 2-3 times weekly, around midday to optimize vitamin D synthesis while minimizing risks. In winter or low-UV conditions, supplements are advised. Remember, UVA radiation remains harmful, so sunscreen use and sun safety are crucial.

The Risks of DIY Sunscreens: Why Proper Sun Protection Matters
DIY skincare trends may be fun, but creating your own sunscreen is a dangerous gamble. A recent viral TikTok video by Nara Smith highlights the perils of DIY sunscreens. Nara and her husband mixed household ingredients with a sprinkle of zinc oxide powder, claiming it as an effective alternative. However, such concoctions lack rigorous testing, reliable SPF, and the essential components required for sun protection. DIY sunscreens can leave your skin vulnerable to harmful UV rays, uneven coverage, and even health risks from potential contaminants. Proper sun protection is non-negotiable, as UV damage not only accelerates aging but also significantly increases the risk of skin cancer. Instead of risking your health, opt for scientifically formulated sunscreens like NAYA's Everyday Sun Cream SPF 50+, crafted with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients for effective, broad-spectrum defense. Healthy, beautiful skin starts with safe sun protection. Learn more about the risks of DIY sunscreen.
