Have you spent a lot of hours under the sun and you are now suffering from the external
effects of excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays? One of the immediate signs of sun damage is a darkening of skin tone. When you expose your skin to ultraviolet rays and the dermis has acquired damages, the integumentary system produces more melanin to counteract the negative effects of UV rays.
With cumulative sun exposure, the skin will eventually turn wrinkly and leathery. It might also acquire a yellowish kind of color. These problems can still be corrected. Use the following tips as your guide in correcting sun damages:
1. Use a natural anti aging moisturizer twice a day
Immediately after taking a bath, pat your skin dry and apply your moisturizer. Gently apply the product using your lightest fingers to avoid disturbing damaged skin tissues and cells.
You should look for natural moisturizers as they do not contain parabens and chemical ingredients that might damage your skin further. Choose products made up of CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Extrapone Nutgrass.
CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from the wool of sheep. This supplies your skin with a functional kind of protein called keratin. Keratin is a kind of protein responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. Collage and elastin will keep your skin firm and resilient
Phytessence Wakame maintains a dewy complexion. This Japanese sea kelp can prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid. This is the acid that supplies moisture to collagen proteins. Extrapone Nutgrass is a plant that has lightening benefits. It can inhibit melanin production by up to 45% during the first two weeks of use. If your skin has turned several shades darker because of the sun, use this to bring back your fair and unblemished skin.
2. Apply a skin care mask twice a week
At least twice a week, take the time to use a skin care mask. Mix natural ingredients like Papaya juice, honey and mashed avocado. Mashed avocado helps heal sun burn. It contains linoleic acid that can speed up the healing process of sun burn. It also prevents the appearance of age spots and wrinkles.
Papaya juice is a great source of Papaine. This is an enzyme that can maintain light and fair skin. It can also help make your dermis softer and smoother. For extra hydrating benefits, use honey. This also has lightening properties. It can lessen age spots and pigmentation problems. It has humectant properties that can lock moisture in skin tissues.
