Our
skin is the largest organ of the body and often the most neglected. It
is our first line of defense against pollutants, ultraviolet violet (UV)
radiation and other environmental factors.
A regular skin regimen coupled with SPF sunscreen and topical
antioxidants has proven effective in minimizing the damaging effects of
the environment as well as helping to protect skin health.
Sunlight and Healthy SkinShort
bursts of time in the sun help the body to naturally produce vitamin D.
The UV rays from sunlight stimulate vitamin D synthesis, which in turn
supports calcium absorption to form and maintain strong bones.
Excessive
exposure to sunlight without sunscreen, however, can result in sunburn
and greatly increase one's risk of developing skin cancer. UV radiation
from the sun is increasing globally due to what scientists describe as
the Earth's depleting ozone layer. It strikes Earth as either UV-A or
UV-B radiation (long and short wavelengths of ultraviolet light).
In
addition, recent studies have shown that non-melanoma skin cancers are
on the rise among young adults, particularly women. Doctors have long
encouraged sun protection to prevent skin damage.
Sunscreens of at least
SPF 15 can limit exposure to UV radiation. Antioxidants have been shown
to help protect the skin from the damage caused by UV radiation when
applied topically. The combination activity of antioxidants and SPF
sunscreens provides superior skin protection. However, because
additional factors can contribute to the formation of skin cancers,
using a sunscreen alone is not a foolproof method for preventing the
development of skin cancers.
