By Sharon Stajda,
Did You know human skin can absorbs up to 64% of what place on it. So shouldn't we be feeding our skin products packed full of healthy vitamins ?
Skin aging is largely due to free radicals which can attack healthy skin at the cellular level. Which will over time resulting in the appearance of dull, dry, damaged skin. Studies have shown that antioxidants can help in the fight against free radicals, and combat the damage they leave behind.
Vitamins such as C Esters, E, and A, are powerful antioxidants, and are potent fighters aiding in destroying free radical, and neutralizing their anti-inflammatory properties. It stands to reason, less damage from inflammation, less shin trauma to the skin. Which gives the skin a fighting chance to stay youthful.
Vitamin C along with its high levels of antioxidants not only fights damage from free radicals, but C is very important when it comes to the production of collagen. Collagen is one of the elements that supports skins texture, and firmness. Vitamin C also has a brightening effect, which helps even out discoloration.
Vitamin A is shown to can help diminish the depth of wrinkles. It also along with C has an inflammatory action. Vitamin A puffs up' the skin by attracting moisture to the area its applied. This healthy moisture level, aids in keeping the skin well hydrated, and helps to flush out impurities. This puffing action also stands to decrease the look of deep wrinkles. Leaving the skin looking younger.
Vitamin E is well known for its antioxidant capabilities. Vitamin E has also been shown to have a variety of skin benefits. Studies's have shown that vitamin E can help decrease the effects of psoriasis, erythema, and may help in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Vitamin E has also been shown to significantly help in the reduction of scaring.

The suns ultraviolet rays(UVA and UVB rays), that are actually present all year round, no matter the what climate you live in are proven to play a significant role in "photo damage" also known as premature skin aging.
The suns premature damage can result in skin that shows signs of thickness,leathery texture, wrinkles, discoloration(freckles), decrease in firmness and tone, and broken capillaries.
We've heard the bad news, how the sun can play havoc with our facial skin, lets hear the good news... So-how does one avoid facial skin damage from the suns rays?
The good news is, we all have the power to keep our skin healthy, and avoid the above mentioned problems.
Protect your facial skin daily by using product's that contain a good amount of "sun protection factor" (SPF). Actually its very easy to find facial products that contain SPF. From Moisturizing creams, lotions, to makeup foundations - you name it. Most cosmetic companies are adding SPF to their facial products, to insure the recipients of their product's, that they are protected from the suns harmful rays. Here are just a few great product's that have adequate amounts of SPF, that will help you keep your skin healthy.

Sun Exposure A Good Sorce Of Natural Vitamin D...
Keep in mind a little sun goes a long way.
Sun exposure is perhaps one of the most important source of vitamin D. Sunlight provides most humans with adequate vitamin D requirements. UV rays from the sun trigger vitamin D synthesis in human skin. An initial exposure to sunlight 10 -15 minutes allows adequate time for Vitamin D synthesis, and should be followed by application of a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to protect the skin. Sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 8 or greater will block UV rays that produce vitamin D. Keep in mind it is still important to routinely use sunscreen to help prevent skin cancer and other negative consequences of excessive sun exposure.Protecting your skin daily with an SPF product is important all year-round. Keep this in mind, your skin needs sun protection not just during the summer months, but in the colder months too. So-- keep up a good regiment of applying sunscreen all year round. It will keep your skin from getting sun damage that can ultimately make you look older. So, which sunscreens are best for the skin?
