Getting Your Skin Ready For Summer!<\/h2>\n

\nSummer months are almost here! Although most of us are ready for the sunshine ahead, we should also be thinking about ways to protect our skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Our skin cells are easily damaged from the sun’s rays. Age, nutritional status, hormone status; all play a significant role in affecting how our skin cells react to the sun. Photodamage can lead to sunburns, hyperpigmentation (or melasma), wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Now is the time to increase antioxidant nutrients both internally and topically to help protect your skin from sun damage.<\/p>\n
Here are my top recommendations to get your skin ready for summer.
\nIts all about the antioxidants! Vitamins such as Vit A, C, E and D can significantly reduce sun damage to your skin cells and protect from burns, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer.<\/p>\n

- Essential fatty acids are the good fats found in fish oil, flax oil, borage oil and evening primrose oil. All these EFA\u2019s improve skin hydration, elasticity and increase protection from the sun.<\/li>\n
- Glutathione<\/a>is our master antioxidant. Normally made by the liver to detoxify our body, this is the first antioxidant to decline as our liver is exposed to and overburdened by toxins. Taking a stabilized liquid glutathione supplement increases the body\u2019s ability to clear toxins. The end result is a healthier body and glowing, acne free skin! Vitalia Health Care offers stabilized Glutathione and a unique drinkable liquid liposomal Glutathione that is very stable.<\/li>\n
- Topical antioxidant treatment is just as important as taking supplements. I recommend both a high SPF sunscreen and Code 4 from Celazome<\/a>, both available at Vitalia Health Care. Code 4 is a spray lotion that protects the skin from sun damage, aging, dark spots and wrinkles. It also reverses the appearance of aging and sun damaged skin. Ask us for more details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
