Protective
The skin, the biggest organ of the body, protects the body from external and environmental influences. Protective repair mechanisms form a primary defense line against prolonged exposure to UV rays, extreme cold and heat, loss of moisture, etc.
The human body is exposed to UV light every day. Even under a cloudy sky, UV-A and UV-B rays contribute to the aging process of skin. UV rays indicate a number of different damaging processes of skin layers.
Protective ingredients protect skin from environmental damage and harsh conditions, helping reduce transdermal moisture loss, prevent UV-induced damage, and prevent premature aging.
The skin is prepared to induce natural repair mechanisms; however, when exposure to sunlight is exaggerated, additional support of effective protective actives helps to keep the skin healthy and the natural repair mechanisms intact.Much energy is needed to keep the skin's natural repair processes active. A decrease in the energy level weakens the natural repair mechanisms. Some protective ingredients aim to keep the energy level high.
