UV Radiation

The sun oxidizes the skin through UV radiation, which triggers the production of free
radicals—unstable molecules that damage skin cells and accelerate aging. Here’s how it happens:

• UV Exposure: The sun emits UVA and UVB rays, which penetrate the skin and
  disrupt cellular function.
  
• Free Radical Formation: UV rays generate oxidative stress, leading to an excess of free radicals that attack collagen, elastin, and DNA.
  
• Skin Damage: This oxidative process causes wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and
  loss of firmness, contributing to premature aging.
  
• Increased Cancer Risk: If free radicals damage DNA, they can lead
  to mutations that increase the risk of skin cancer.

 How to Protect Your Skin:

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
  
• Apply antioxidants like Vitamin C to neutralize free radicals.
  
• Wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure during peak hours.

Skincare tip to combat sun-induced oxidation:

Antioxidants Are Your Best Defense!

Pairing sunscreen with a potent antioxidant serum can significantly reduce
oxidative stress caused by UV rays. Ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacinamide,
and Resveratrol neutralize free radicals before they can damage your skin cells.

 How to Use:

• In the morning, apply an antioxidant serum (like Vitamin C) before
  your moisturiser and sunscreen.
  
• Consider layering with green tea extract or coenzyme Q10 for extra defense.
  
• Stay consistent—daily use will enhance your skin’s ability to fight oxidation and
  maintain its glow!
