Sun Protection

Beauty Goals

• Protect the skin from UV damage and oxidative stress

• Enhance the skin’s natural ability to defend against sunburn, aging, and pigmentation

• Support the body’s internal mechanisms for UV protection

• Reduce the risk of photoaging, wrinkles, and age spots

Concerns Addressed

• Sunburn and UV-induced skin damage

• Premature aging and wrinkles from sun exposure

• Dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure

• Skin inflammation and oxidative stress from UV radiation

Recommended Supplements

• Astaxanthin (4–12 mg daily)—A powerful antioxidant that provides internal UV protection

• Polypodium Leucotomos (240 mg daily)—A plant extract with strong protective properties against UV damage

• Vitamin C (500–1000 mg daily)—Neutralizes free radicals produced by UV exposure and supports skin regeneration

• Vitamin E (400 IU daily)—Protects the skin from oxidative damage and enhances sun protection

• Beta-Carotene (6–15 mg daily)—A precursor to vitamin A that helps protect the skin from sun damage

Hero Ingredients

• Astaxanthin—A potent antioxidant that provides internal protection from UV rays and reduces skin inflammation

• Polypodium Leucotomos—Known to reduce UV-induced skin damage, prevent photoaging, and protect against sunburn

• Vitamin C—Protects the skin by neutralizing free radicals caused by UV exposure and supports collagen production

• Vitamin E—An antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin C to protect the skin from sun damage

• Beta-Carotene—A plant-derived compound that strengthens the skin’s natural defenses against UV rays

Lifestyle Tips

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support skin hydration and reduce the effects of UV exposure

• Avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM) when UV rays are strongest

• Include antioxidants in your diet, such as berries, green tea, and leafy greens, to enhance sun protection

• Consider taking breaks in shaded areas to avoid prolonged sun exposure
