Although the sun has multiple benefits for our health and wellbeing, prolonged exposure to its rays can cause unwanted reactions in our skin. For this reason, sunscreen is a step we shouldn't skip in our skincare routine. To complement its effectiveness, innovative products such as sun capsules have been designed to help keep our skin healthy from the inside. Discover their benefits and why you should use them.
What are sun capsules and what are their advantages?
Sun capsules are a food supplement that help prepare your skin for exposure to the sun. This nutricosmetic features natural ingredients such as beta-carotene, vitamins and plant extracts, which are essential to promote protection against UV radiation.
We can therefore say that sun capsules have two main functions:
- Prepare the skin to minimise the negative effects of exposure to the sun, such as dehydration and the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes or other signs of aging.
- Get a darker tan: in addition to their protective function, sun capsules boost your tan and help you get a more even and beautiful colour, safely.
Advantages include:
Uniform sun protection
As an oral product, sun capsule components act from within the body, delivering uniform sun protection throughout the skin and enhancing the skin barrier function. They also strengthen the skin's immune defences, which helps prevent problems such as premature aging.
They act on all layers of the skin
Topical sunscreens offer protection on the outermost or surface layer of our skin (the epidermis). By contrast, sun capsules act on all the layers, delivering nutrients and allowing the cells to benefit in each layer.
However, it is important to note that sun capsules do not replace the use of sunscreen but act as a complement, offering more comprehensive protection.
Boost tanning
As mentioned above, antioxidant or sun capsules help intensify and improve your tan thanks to their actives. These actives also ensure that the tanning process is healthier for our skin.
Help keep skin hydrated
Some sun capsules include components such as vitamin E, which helps keep the skin hydrated and nourished from the inside. This benefit is crucial for healthy, beautiful skin in summer, when dehydration can affect us due to rising temperatures.
Are antioxidant sun capsules safe to use?
Yes! The use of antioxidant sun capsules is completely safe as they complement your sun protection routine.
In addition to being safe, antioxidant capsules provide comprehensive protection, working from within the body to provide it with what it needs to combat sun damage. Sun capsules can be used by people with all skin types, even those with a lower phototype, i.e., fairer skin.
In short, if you want to enjoy extra sun protection, antioxidant capsules can help you do it. But don't forget - they're not a substitute for topical sunscreens, rather a complement that will bring great benefits to your skin and allow you to enjoy complete sun protection.
