Remove Sun Damaged Skin

To remove sun damaged skin can be done in just 3 easy steps. But first let's look at what causes the skin to be damaged by the sun.

What Causes Sun Damaged Skin?

Obviously, it's the sun. But more specially it is the UV sunrays that cause the harm. In simple terms, it is staying exposed to too much direct sunlight during peak sun hours.

Limiting overexposure to the sun will prevent damage to the skin. If you have ever had a sunburn you know that the forehead, nose, face and the neck really get the brunt of it. Also the hands and arms catch it.

Just doing the above prevention step will do wonders for your skin recovery. In other words, don't keep 'throwing salt in the wound'. Get out of and stay out of the sun.

Now here are the 3 easy steps to prevent and restore sun-damaged skin.

Step 1 - When you do go out into the sun apply zinc oxide to the exposed skin area. Do not use sunscreen because it is absorbed into the skin. And it blocks vitamin D. I know that is advice contrary to what is popular. Zinc oxide does not vanish into the skin but keeps a protective layer on top. Also the SPF factor is under suspicion that it may be harmful in some way. Just be safe use zinc oxide.

Step 2 - Wear protective clothing such as a broad rimmed hat. Use gloves. Put a scarf over the neck area and wear long sleeves.

Step 3 - This is similar to step one. Use a moisturizing lotion that has the right ingredients in the right amounts. What are those ingredients that you must have to prevent and restore sun damaged skin. Pay very close attention to what I am about to tell you. I know because it works.

The Right Ingredients for Skin Care

These ingredients that I have listed here have been clincally tested in two ways - for safety and for effectiveness. Most skin care products fail one if not both of these tests. So please listen closely.

Shea Butter

This ingredient has been around and used for probably several hundrd years. It cut down the stinging and burning that comes from bug bites or from other skin conditions. The benefits of Shea Butter are good for many skin conditions. Eczema and psoriasis are usually relieved by it.

The benefit to sun damaged skin is that it closely matches natural moisturizers found in the skin. It takes about six to eight weeks to start working. But patience will pay off when the skin starts looking better.

Avocado Extract

Avocado extract is very unique because it is one of the few natural ingredients that has demonstrated that it can encourage collagen production to increase. When more collagen is made it will help remove the sun damaged skin. In turn, wrinkles are reduced faster. As a bonus it has natural vitamin A which is required for general good health

Cynergy TK

Cynergy TK is a patented trademark ingredient that is relatively new to skin care. But it has produced amazing results. It has in it, among others, a protein called Functional Keratin. What is does, according to clincal research trials, is increase the production of elastic fibers and new skin cells. Now this is highly important. It doesn't remove sun damaged skin but it lets it be replaced. And it has happened with some people in as little as 18 days. I give more details on this on my website listed below.

Coenzyme Q10

Scientific studies have tested CoQ10. It has been found in every cell of the body; that makes it very important to say the least. Since it is an antioxidant it fights free radical damage to the skin. CoQ10 has been found greatly depleted in sun damaged skin. By replacing the missing CoQ10 the skin can recover. Improvement in the sun damaged skin areas have been reported on after 6 weeks of use.

Bonus- Bonus

Now let me give you 4 more strong, effective suggestions for getting your skin back to a youthful, beautiful condition.

Follow the above 3 steps along with these effective methods and you might just be totally amazed how pleasantly different you begin to look.

1 - Use a Age Defense Day Cream
2 - Use a Restorative Night Cream
3 - Use a Cleansing Mask
4 - Use a Hydrating Mask
Alternate using the Cleansing and Hydrating very other week. Cleanse one week; hydrate the next.

Frankly, the above suggestions are very beneficial if you have sun damaged skin or not. But once the skin is repaired follow the above advice and you will have skin like you haven't seen for awhile if ever. My recommendation on the above can be found on my website listed below plus the multi-nutrient you need to use.
