Can You Reverse (And Prevent) Sun Damage To Your Skin Causing Premature Skin Ageing?


There’s nothing you can do about aging, and as you age your skin ages with you. One of the worst causes of skin ageing is excessive sun damage from overexposure to UV in the Sun’s rays. Can you help prevent and even reverse skin sun damage?

Too much time spent in the sun is terrible for your skin. Whether you get sunburned or even if you just spend a lot of time in the sun you can age your skin prematurely. Along with another factor, namely smoking, these are the 2 worst things you can do to ensure your skin will show your age earlier.

It is well known that UV rays in sun light can be very damaging to your skin. Of course excessive sun exposure can lead to skin cancer and this can in turn can lead to death, however not so many people are aware that excessive sun exposure also speeds up the effects of ageing on your skin. This is what is known as photo aging.

There’s some simple things you can do to prevent excessive skin sun damage. It’s easy to reduce your exposure to the sun by wearing a long sleeved shirt and a hat and staying out of direct sun during the summer in the middle of the day. But none of these is a complete solution to skin sun damage. For example it’s still entirely possible to get your face burned underneath a hat from reflection off water.

Next comes sunscreens. Whilst sunscreens can be useful many do not provide complete protection from the different range of ultraviolet rays in sun light, particularly UVA, and it is still possible to get serious sun damage to your skin even using sunscreens.

There are natural sunscreens available. Many of these are sourced from plants and will help naturally protect your skin from burning by acting as a natural sunscreen. However these can not only protect your skin from UV rays but, according to recent research, actually help reverse some photo-aging effects.

Lycopene is one of these ingredients. If you read the health literature you may well know about lycopene. It’s an ingredient of tomatoes and the studies are showing that lycopene can have some beneficial effects on your health. For example there is growing evidence that increasing your intake of lycopene can help prevent breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. On top of this there is now evidence that more lycopene can help reverse the effects of photo-aging on your skin and therefore help reverse skin sun damage you may have suffered in earlier years.

And it’s not just lycopene that offers these benefits to your skin. There are other natural ingredients from plants that are also, according to the studies, likely to offer similar benefits. Whilst it is probably inadequate to rely on natural sunscreens to prevent sunburn on their own, there is certainly evidence that they will increase your level of natural protection and also start to reverse the effects of photo-aging.

Gradually modern science is understanding how photo-aging works and why photo-aging is one of the most serious, if not the most serious contributor to premature skin ageing. And modern science is also now able to produce new products that are able to capture the benefits provided by these natural sunscreens.

An example is a new omega 3 supplement recently introduced to the market which includes lycopene as an active ingredient as well as other ingredients to increase your skin’s natural resistance to sunburn and to help reverse the effects of photo-aging. And of course omega 3 essential fatty acids are themselves known to be of a very similar chemical make up to the oil that is naturally produced in your skin and for this reason Omega3 fats are also very good to improved skin health.

If you’re interested in high quality skin care you need to understand the damaging effects of excessive exposure to sunlight, and that there are ways to help prevent this and also to reverse the effects of skin sun damage.

And you also should be aware that new products are slowly becoming available as science finds out more and more about how to keep their skin healthy and looking good using natural ingredients such as lycopene to help prevent skin sun damage.

If you’d like to source omega 3 supplements which now include lycopene as one of the active ingredients then head over to my website.
