As summer is fast approaching and we prepare for all the fun-filled outdoor activities, it is important to remember how vulnerable our skin can be and how it may be affected by the excessive heat, chlorinated water, sea salt and UV rays that strip our skin of its moisture and deplete antioxidants. This year refresh your approach and recommit your efforts to educate your clients on the ways in which their skincare regimens evolve for the summer season – protect and prevent. A MP UP THE ANTIOXIDANTS Antioxidants are vital in combating the signs of aging and they boost sun protection formulas. During the summer months it is extremely critical to not create more vulnerability on the epidermis, and antioxidants are the first line of defense against damaging UV rays. If you are lacking in antioxidants, your melanocytes will respond and DNA damage, as well as age spots become more prevalent. Increasing the antioxidant intake through foods, drinks and topicals will do much to support the skin through this challenging season. Summertime superfoods like blueberries, watermelon, tomatoes, spinach and avocados are packed with immune-boosting antioxidants. Drinking antioxidants like white or green tea are both refreshing and supportive. And while eating these life sustaining foods to nourish the skin from the inside out, you'll also want to use a smart summer skincare regimen that incorporates topical products packed with antioxidants. When applied daily, antioxidant-rich topical products including serums and moisturizers protect the skin from those harsh UV rays. Serums like RA's Antioxidant Complex Serum offers a potent dose of 18 different antioxidants giving the skin the right balance every morning to nourish your cells and combat free radicals.
