Preventing damage to the skin is easy, but can you repair damage after the fact?
Damage from what? The environment! We are talking about high energy beyond what our skin can cope with. There will be energy from ultraviolet radiation that damages macromolecules (like DNA) directly plus the reactive oxygen species (ROS*) formed when the UV reaches the skin and reacts with molecules capable of producing those. These UV-produced ROS* add up to those present in the air.
Yes, our skin has evolved beautiful mechanisms to defend us from those dangers but evolution did not prepare us for suntans or for city pollution. We offer a few techniques to practice to prevent and repair damaged skin, and maintain it for years to come.
Prevent Further Skin Damage
Start your daily skin care routine with a good quality facial cleanser and Sunscreen SPF 30 and age or sun spots, wrinkles, lost elasticity, those are all signs of damage from the sun and from pollution. To help fade those pesky dark spots, use our UV Repair Cream. This Cream has a variety of active ingredients that will help improve overall skin tone and texture for healthier looking skin.
Restore Your Skin Barrier
For long neglected skin, try boosting the UV Repair Cream with the ROS* Terminator. Made with our sea kelp bioferment, astaxanthin, glutathione, and peptides, your favorite cream will work even harder to reduce oxidative stress on your skin.
