50 Shades of Skin Damage

A suntan is the mark of healthy skin and happiness. It's the visible aftermath of a restful vacation spent soaking up sunlight. Few can deny the simple, profound gratification of attacking a fun summer read while stretched out on a poolside chaise or a beach chair during a bright, sun-shiny day.

Ultraviolet is Ultra-Unhealthy

Excessive exposure to sunlight is unhealthy, owing to its ultraviolet rays. UV rays are essentially a form of electromagnetic radiation. UVA and UVB are the most common, presenting the greatest daily and long term challenge to healthy skin. UVA rays damage the very DNA of your skin cells. They are the UV rays that cause wrinkles, most skin cancers, and sagging skin. Sun-related damage to your skin occurs throughout your life, regardless of your age. The cumulative effects are generally not visible until your late 20s. Individual results vary depending on diet, exercise, lifestyle, genetics, and exposure to other skin-damaging pollutants, such as nicotine and BPA.

On-Trend Skin Care: Multivitamin Facials

Multivitamin facials have been the well-kept secret of elite spas for decades. Cosmeceutical gurus enlightened the public some years ago about the benefits of exposing sun damaged skin directly to the multivitamin and antioxidant formulations. Tried and true antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, pass directly into your skin's cells and into deeper tissues via transdermal absorption. Vitamins E and D, which are fat soluble, pass naturally through cell membranes, enhancing your skin's elasticity and its ability to rejuvenate sun damaged skin.

Multivitamin Daily Skin Care Regimen

Multivitamin facials are safe to use as part of your daily skin care regimen. They remove dead skin cells, reduce fine lines, increase blood circulation to your facial skin and stimulate cellular renewal. A daily multivitamin facial is an effective skin care tool to slow visible signs of aging and reverse years of sun damage.
