Supplements For Preventing Sunburn!

beach 455752 1920

Whether you’re travelling to sunnier climates or sweating it out in the city, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun.

Suncream shouldn’t be solely relied upon to protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays – especially if you have sensitive skin!

Of course, some exposure to the sun is essential for the purpose of Vitamin D consumption, but you certainly do not want to burn. You can also help yourself stay protected by planning shady routes and staying out of the sun between 11 am and 3 pm.

Certain supplements can play a role in protecting the skin from the sun too – these are not a substitute for suncream but can be used to boost the skin’s natural defences and help to minimise premature ageing, when used in combination!

The Dream Team – Vitamin C & E 

Nearly all plants and animals protect themselves from the sun with Vitamin C and E and the two vitamins are taken in conjunction have been shown to defend against sunburn in humans.  This combination has also been seen to have a protective effect when used topically.

Opt for a quality supplement to help protect your skin from the sun like those from Natures Plus.
