Reduce the Risks of Cancer with Your Skincare
We are all exposed to free radicals on a daily basis. Whether it comes in the form of sun exposure, chemical-laden skin products, or environmental toxins, we need a proactive way in which to help our skin fight these harsh elements that accelerate aging and promote the development of pre-cancerous lesions.
One way of reducing your risk of skin cancer is by using naturally-based skin care infused with a variety of powerful anti-aging and antioxidant components. What is naturally-based skin care and what are the benefits it can provide? These questions will be addressed in more detail below.
Reduce Your Skin Cancer Risk with Naturally-Based Skin Care
Skin cancer is an extremely common condition throughout our country today. In fact, it remains the most common form of cancer year after year. In spite of the invention of protective solutions such as sunscreen and UV protective clothing, it's obvious that we need to take further steps to protect our skin from cancer.
Naturally-based skin care includes products that consist of ingredients found in nature. We all know that fruits and vegetables are jam-packed with nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish our bodies from the inside. These same nutrients and antioxidants can be infused directly into skincare products and have a powerful effect on the condition of the skin when applied topically. Consider the many benefits of just one natural ingredient we use in our skin care items below.
The Powerful Benefits of Lycopene
Lycopene is a powerful compound that gives certain fruits and vegetables their bright red color. Papaya, pink grapefruit, and tomatoes all owe their rich red hues to this compound. Topical use of this compound can offer many skin improving benefits like the ones mentioned below.
* Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles associated with sun damage
Fine lines and wrinkles are the first signs of aging we all attempt to hide. Lycopene can reduce the appearance of these lines over a period of time.
* Age spots related to sun exposure
Age spots are unsightly dark-colored areas that result from skin damage from the sun. These spots can become lighter or even disappear with appropriate naturally-based skin care.
* Increased cell turnover that results in younger looking skin
Cell turnover is fast in our youth. This results in a youthful glow and smooth skin. As we age, this turnover rate drastically goes down. Topical nutrients and plant extracts can restore a faster turnover rate and promote glowing, youthful looking skin.
* Stabilization of the DNA to prevent and correct damage that leads to cancer
Medical studies indicate that unstable and damaged DNA is a precursor for the development of pre-cancerous and cancerous skin conditions. Keeping the DNA stable and correcting minor damage as it occurs can prevent the development of malignant lesions.
* Prevention of the breakdown of collagen that keeps skin looking youthful
Collagen is a vital component of keeping the skin looking young and plump. As we age, it begins to break down and fails to rebuild. Natural components such as those used in our products can help maintain the collagen in the skin.
We all long for youthful, glowing skin that resists the signs of aging. This is possible to achieve by relying on the powerful components found in nature. Numerous medical studies support the use of these extracts and compounds topically as a way to restore vitality and a youthful glow to the skin.
