Extreme UV radiation: protect your skin from the inside out

Solar radiation doesn't just cause burns. It directly affects the internal structures of your skin, accelerating aging, the appearance of dark spots, loss of elasticity, and other visible signs of damage. In countries like Spain, where UV levels exceed safe levels almost daily in summer, sun protection goes far beyond sunscreen.

The invisible damage of the sun: what you don't see

Prolonged exposure to UV radiation generates free radicals , unstable molecules that attack skin cells. This process, known as oxidative stress , damages collagen, elastin, and cellular DNA, accelerating skin aging and increasing the risk of dark spots, sagging skin, wrinkles, and other signs of photoaging.

Beyond SPF: Antioxidant Protection

Sunscreen acts as a shield against UV rays, but it doesn't neutralize internal oxidative damage . This is where antioxidant cosmetics come into play: ingredients that protect cells from within, fighting free radicals before they cause damage.

Vitamin C: The Daily Ally Against Sun Damage

Vitamin C is one of the most studied antioxidants in dermatology. Its topical use has proven effects:

• Neutralizes free radicals generated by solar radiation.

• Stimulates collagen production , improving firmness and elasticity.

• Lightens spots and prevents hyperpigmentation .

• Reinforces the effectiveness of sunscreen when used in synergy.

At OhMyKoko, we use a stabilized and well-tolerated form of vitamin C along with astaxanthin , another next-generation antioxidant.

Astaxanthin: The Natural Super Antioxidant

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C in its antioxidant capacity (according to comparative laboratory studies). It is extracted from microalgae and has proven action against damage caused by UVA and UVB rays:

• Protects cells from structural damage caused by radiation.

• Reduces sun-induced skin inflammation .

• Improves skin tone and texture with continued use.

Our serum: more than vitamin C

OhMyKoko's antioxidant serum not only contains vitamin C and astaxanthin. It's formulated for sensitive skin, free of artificial fragrances and irritating ingredients, with a lightweight, oil-free texture that won't clog pores. It's ideal for use every morning before sunscreen , as part of a smart environmental defense strategy.

How to use it to protect your skin this summer

1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser (like OhMyKoko with oats and fruit acids).

2. Apply the antioxidant serum to clean, dry skin.

3. Next, apply your usual sunscreen .

4. At night, hydrate and repair your skin with natural cosmetics rich in ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide, depending on your skin's needs.

Conclusion

Protecting your skin from the sun isn't just about avoiding burns. It's about preventing the deep, invisible damage that accelerates aging. Incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C and astaxanthin into your daily routine will help you maintain healthy, glowing skin that's resistant to UV radiation.

And remember: your skin doesn't forget sun exposure . Protect it today to take care of it tomorrow.
