The sun provides multiple benefits, but it is necessary to prepare the skin for three months before starting to take it.
That Lorenzo greets every day (even in winter) is a fact, but that solar radiation is more dangerous in summer, it is also. So, what can we do so that the sun does not catch our skin off guard like every year? Gema Cabañero, R&D director of the 180 the concept advanced nutricosmetic method, suggests that we start preparing it from within now.
“The sun provides multiple benefits, but it is necessary to prepare the skin for three months before starting to sunbathe and stimulate its internal processes so that it is able to assimilate the multiple positive effects and protect itself from the harmful effects,” says Gema.
Solar radiation is one of the main causes that accelerate skin aging. It penetrates the deepest tissues where it can produce pigmentary lesions, affect those responsible for the support and quality of the tissues, and cause damage to the DNA of the cells. ”The result is a loss of elasticity, the formation of wrinkles, spots, and thickening”, they clarify from 180 the concept.

UVB rays penetrate the epidermis, and UVA rays penetrate the innermost layers, reaching the dermis. As confirmed by Gema Cabañero, “this causes damage to collagen and elastin, reaching the DNA cells which, in severe cases, can mutate and cause serious dermatological diseases.” In fact, if the skin is not perfectly prepared both on the outside (with topical cosmetics) and from the inside (with the right nutritional balance), irreversible damage can occur.
WHAT ASSETS AND INGREDIENTS HELP PROTECT THE SKIN FROM SUN DAMAGE?
”Ingredients such as chlorella algae, spirulina, and AFA algae prepare and strengthen the skin; and vitamins such as vitamin D3, protect, help eliminate toxins and promote cell regeneration”, inform 180 the concept nutricosmetics.
Another essential when preparing the skin is beta-carotene, as it acts as an internal protector, prevents the deterioration of cells and tissues while stimulating a golden tan, and acts as an antioxidant by transforming into vitamin A if the body requires it. ”With the skin prepared, we add ingredients with high antioxidant power to combat the effects of radiation and free radicals. Among them, are antioxidants well known for combating the effects of free radicals and boosting collagen synthesis, which favors tissue regeneration and counteracts photoaging? Among them are ester C, vitamins A and E, bromelain, and green tea”, adds Gema.
In addition, the sun protection shield is reinforced with ingredients such as N-acetylcysteine, L-Arginine, or L-Ortinine which, according to the R&D director of 180 the concept, ”protect against the action of free radicals and enhance tissue regeneration”. With the skin prepared and protected, it is time to repair the tissues and promote lost nutrition and hydration with vitamins such as vitamin J and several B vitamins, as well as a series of minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium or It works to regulate melanin production, nourish the skin and protect it from oxidative damage.
