The Truth about Sun Exposure

by | Aug 21, 2016 | News, Skin Care

When you lie out in the sun because you want a little bit of color on your skin, have you ever thought about what is occurring in your skin as you are lying there?

Initially, your skin will absorb the UV rays: UVB rays on the surface, and UVA rays deeper in the skin’s layers. The UVA rays will stimulate abnormal activity in the melanin cells. The abnormal activity leads to the damaged cells not being able to protect the DNA, so the DNA also becomes damaged. One of the first signs of this damage occurring in your skin is noticeable dark spots popping up all over.

We all know that we should be wearing sun protection every day and added to that, a topically applied Vitamin C product to increase the antioxidants levels in the skin. Sun exposure sets off a reaction in the skin that is more destructive than we realized.

Luckily, we offer several types of facial treatments to mitigate the impact of prolonged sun exposure.

What’s the Solution?

  1. Sunscreen: Apply every day and reapply every hour when you are outside and or swimming.
  2. Vitamin C: This product is such an important part of the daily skincare routine. It will strengthen the skin altogether, strengthen the capillary walls, increase the antioxidant levels in the skin, combat free radical activity and help guard the skin from sun damage.
  3. The Sun Intervention facial treatment: We created this treatment for the sole purpose of helping our patients’ skin stay healthier and better protected through the summer months when more people are outside and exposed. It is a restorative treatment that will not require any downtime or make the skin more sensitive in the sun. This is a great addition to your summer skincare routine.
  4. Tantasia: This is a self-tanner from the Jane Iredale mineral makeup line. We all feel like we look better with a tan. This product will give you that beautiful bronzed look without the sun damage. It has a pleasant citrus scent, is easy to apply and works with all skin tones. This is Dr. Bucko’s favorite summertime secret and looks so natural, no one knows it is fake.
