As the record summer heat continues, are you protecting your skin from the sun's damaging UV rays? What you may not know is that most skin damage occurs during your daily activities. In the absence of sunscreen, skin protection depends solely on your skin's own defenses.
Numerous recent studies [1] now show that consuming significant quantities of carotenoids, vitamin E and selenium boosts your skin's natural defenses against UV damage. UV damage leads to skin cancer, wrinkling, sun spots, moles and other skin damage. Getting these nutrients everyday is an essential and overlooked component for maintaining healthy and radiant skin.
