Sun Damage

The damage accumulating in your skin right now is overwhelming. Every moment of sun exposure generates reactive oxygen species that degrade collagen, damage DNA, create pigmentation irregularities, and accelerate visible aging. This photoaging process accounts for approximately 90% of visible skin aging—the wrinkles, age spots, roughness, and sagging that most people attribute simply to “getting older.” Here’s what most people don’t realize: while you can’t completely reverse decades of sun damage, you can activate your skin’s repair mechanisms and substantially improve photoaging signs through strategic supplementation. The molecular pathways that repair DNA damage, synthesize new collagen, neutralize free radicals, and restore barrier function all respond to specific nutrients—and clinical research has identified exactly which supplements work, at what doses, and through what mechanisms.
