Hoping for a sun-kiss, but ended up with a sunburn? If so, this is not a game you want to play again. It is a painful experience that could leave you with lasting sun damage and redness. In the short term, you wind up with tight, red, painful skin. Long-term it can increase your risk of skin cancer and premature aging.
Your skin is your largest organ, and it will protect you even at its own peril. Self-love takes that extra minute to care about your skin, both before and after sun exposure. This extra minute of self-love helps prevent sunburn and keeps your youthful look.
Avoiding or reducing the impact of ultraviolet (UV) damage from the sun’s rays helps prevent skin cancer and premature aging. Most of us try something to prevent sunburns. Like applying sun block (SPF), wearing protective clothing, or finding shade. But, is the FDA even sure we should be absorbing the artificial ingredients in the sunscreens and SPF's pushed on us?
Applying topical antioxidants, such as formulas that contain Vitamin E and Vitamin C, can also boost sun damage repair. As one of the most powerful antioxidants, Vitamin C has been shown to protect against photoaging, ultraviolet-induced immunosuppression and photocarcinogenesis. Its anti-aging effect increases collagen synthesis, stabilizing collagen fibers and decreasing collagen degradation, along with decreasing melanin formation to reduce hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tones. That's why our patented Silver Serum contains Vitamin C in its the most novel and stabilized form, 3-glyceryl ascorbate. Its effects are also increased by using it with the addition of Vitamin E.
Once the sun has kissed you, you have experienced damage and its time to start repairing your skin. Using Aloe is the typical go-to for after-sun skin help. That's why our Silver Serum uses pure natural aloe juice derived from the hollow interior of the leaves of the Aloe plant (aloe barbadensis Miller). Aloe vera is also known for its anti-inflammatory, skin protection, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, antiseptic, and wound healing properties. Aloe works in a number of ways to help reduce the effects of sunburn and more.
- Reduces inflammation: Aloe inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway, which creates an anti-inflammatory effect. The aloe plant also contains bradykinase, which reduces inflammation when applied topically.
- Stimulates collagen production: Aloe stimulates the production of collagen, this improves skin firmness, reduces dryness, and supports elasticity.
- Moisturizing skin: Aloe contains mucopolysaccharides, which are sugars that help retain moisture in your skin, and amino acids that soften hardened skin cells.
- Contains salicylic acid: Salicylic acid is naturally occurring in Aloe and is both an anti-inflammatory and an antiseptic, easing pain while also preventing infection.
- Contains vitamins: Aloe has numerous naturally occurring antioxidant vitamins (A, C, and E) which neutralize free radicals to decrease sun damage.
Be skin loving and skin efficient at the same time. Have sun repair and anti-aging all in one place with an all-in-one formula in a quick dry, on-the-go application. This all-in-one approach inspired us because it gives you time back in your day having fast repair and then be on your way!
When you invest in self-love and self-care, even if it’s quick, you allow God's love to work all these things together for your good. Take your precious moments inside and out to care for yourself so you can genuinely love your neighbor as you learn to love yourself, as yourself. Gal. 5:14™
