What’s so bad about sun damage?
First, we have to define sun damage. If you’re thinking sunburn is the worst that can happen, you’re very mistaken. The sun’s frequencies have been proven to cause everything from cell mutation and DNA damage (the stuff that ages you and causes cancer) to sapping hydration, destroying collagen and elastin. Not to mention the fine lines that will become deep wrinkles and furrows over time. To make things worse, there’s significant evidence that even SPF 50 is no longer enough.
Why normal SPF is not enough
Not many people know new studies show that SPF 50 is only effective against 53% of the total damage of the sun’s light. That’s only half the damage stopped. It’s why we still see advanced photo-aging despite sunscreen use. It’s absolutely vital that we seek better, full-spectrum sun protection and sun damage correction.
How to get full-spectrum sun protection
While SPF only covers you for some UVA and some UVB rays. Infrared and visible light – and UVC also damage your skin in different ways. This is why an advanced combination of anti-oxidants, ingredients and specialised treatments is absolutely vital for protection from the full effects of the full spectrum of sunlight while also correcting the DNA damage created by sun exposure
