What You Need to Know If You Plan to Absorb Vitamin D in the Sun this Season. Plus, How to Reverse Sun Damage with Chemical Peels

The sun is the number one cause of aging and skin damage. The UV rays emitted by the sun can cause wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer. It is important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by applying sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

Clinical studies have shown that the skin absorbs Vitamin D even when sunscreen is applied. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones, but it is important to note that the body can produce enough Vitamin D through sun exposure without risking skin damage. It is best to get Vitamin D from a healthy diet and supplements, rather than relying on the sun.

In addition to sunscreen, glycolic acid and TCA acid can also be used to reverse sun damage. These acids work by exfoliating the top layer of the skin, revealing the healthy, youthful skin underneath. They also stimulate collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane, and is considered the most effective of all AHAs for skin rejuvenation. It can penetrate the skin deeply and effectively remove the dead cells, stimulating collagen production and reducing wrinkles.

TCA acid (Trichloroacetic acid) is a stronger chemical peel that can penetrate deeper in the skin than glycolic acid, making it more effective in treating sun damage, age spots, wrinkles, and acne scars.

In conclusion, the sun can cause significant damage to the skin, including aging and skin cancer. To protect the skin, it is important to apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and to also consider incorporating glycolic acid and TCA acid into your skincare routine to reverse sun damage. However, it is always recommended to consult a dermatologist before using any of these acids.

Dr. B. recommends incorporating the Dermatologist's Choice Ultra Anti-Aging Cream into your weekly skincare routine along with a SPF sunscreen.
