The Damage of the Sun on Skin

How does the sun actually damage skin?

The harmful effects of the sun stems from ultraviolet (UV)radiation exposure. When skin is exposed to the sun, it tries to protect itself by producing a chemical called melanin. This is a “natural” sunscreen that has a dark pigment that can reflect some of the dangerous ultraviolet light. Because the melanin pigment is dark, it makes your skin look dark, or tan.

Those with blond hair or light skin types have less melanin than darker individuals and thus burn more easily – and have a much higher risk of skin damage and cancer. Unfortunately, melanin only partially protects the skin from the energy of the sun, and a “deep” tan doesn’t really add much protection. UV rays that are not reflected but absorbed by the skin can damage the DNA within the skin cells.

Antioxidants and Skin Cancer

Free radicals are small molecules are produced within the skin as a result of UV damage. It is these free radicals that cause damage to a section of the DNA. Over many years, this damage causes the skin to age and lose collagen and to increase the chances of forming skin cancers. In order to combat against this damage, it is important that high dose antioxidants are used. These antioxidants have been clinically proven to prevent damage by neutralizing free radicals, which in turn results in limiting DNA damage and minimizing the effects of the sun on the skin itself.

The main difficulty with such therapy is the fact that specific antioxidants are usually formulated at low concentrations to be effective. Also
such compounds are unstable and denature quite quickly and are thus ineffective.Over the past 15 years Dr Langov in conjunction with compounding chemists has refined an antioxidant night cream. After many years of trial and error this cream has been formulated at the exact concentration to be effective. The formulation is stable, safe and with no known side effects.
