While most of us love bright sunny days, while enjoying the beach or the pool – your skin, in particular, might not agree! This is because the sun’s scorching rays and the emitted UV radiations can cause both short-term and long-term consequences, including issues like accelerated dermal aging, hyperpigmentation (sun spots), and sunburn.

Protecting your skin with Broad Spectrum SunProtect SPF 30+ (learn how) is obviously the first line of defense for prevention of sun damage to the skin. But when left unprotected, these UVA/B/C rays can penetrate through multiple layers of your skin, causing these issues. This sun damage also results in a spike in the production of free radicals, leading to cellular damage, oxidative stress, and the much faster formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

However if the damage is already done, here’s what you can do:

Repairing Sun Damaged Skin

There are many natural ingredients that can repair sun damaged skin. Some of the notable ones are:

1. Vitamin A

Vitamin A speeds up the cellular turnover/renewal process of the skin by removing free radicals, while revealing a brighter, healthier complexion.

2. Green Tea

The Skin Actives, in this case Antioxidants, including Catechins and OPCs (which belong to the flavonol family and are part of a subgroup called polyphenols) in Green Tea are extremely powerful in fighting free radicals. Further, these phytoactives inhibit enzymatic action that break down collagen and elastin – which is essential for improving your skin’s strength.

3. Allantoin

The Allantoin contained in the plant Comfrey heals and repairs epithelial tissues and speeds cellular turnover. Relieves irritation, especially those caused by UVB damage.

4. Bilberry

Bilberry contains anthocyanins and exceptional antioxidants (Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Quercetin) that slow aging. Improves your skin’s natural defense against UV and other environmental stressors. Prevents dermal dehydration.

5. Ginkgo

Ginkgo is a proven botanical ingredient that prevents cellular oxidation (the primary cause of aging). It promotes the production of fibroblast collagen, which slows the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

6. Vitamin C from Oranges

It is one of the best known ingredients to brighten skin. The antioxidants in oranges/ vitamin C are very effective in reversing the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other dermal changes caused by UVA and UVB, while reducing the risk from future sun damage.

Collagen Boost Serum: For Wrinkled, Aging, and Sun Damaged Skin

You can find all of the above mentioned ingredients (and more) to their appropriate scientific concentrations – in our revolutionary Collagen Boost Serum. The antiaging repairing formula contains the necessary vitals to:

Repair and restore skin from the damage caused by sun,
Soothe irritation,
Remove free radicals and toxins, and
Strengthen skin barrier for protection against future damage.

For best results use this as an add-on treatment to BioScience Peptide Complex (with ingredients like Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid) for faster net effective results in less than 60 days. Use both 2X times a day (AM & PM). This combination is highly effective in combatting sun damage and skin/dermal aging, especially for skin over age 35.

Don’t forget to practice good sun-safe habits like wearing SunProtect SPF 30+ sunscreen or covering yourself with UV-safe clothing when out in the sun.
