• Natural Ingredients for Skin Protection
  

  While sunscreen is a critical defense for the skin against the harmful rays of the sun, key nutritional ingredients can also provide protection. Notwithstanding the benefits of endogenous vitamin D production with sun exposure, there are real risks from excessive UV rays—skin problem of course, but also degradation of superficial collagen which leads to prematurely wrinkled, leathery skin.
  
  The following  natural ingredients is recommendations for protecting our skin from the sun by Changsha Herbal Ingredient Ltd.
  
  Astaxanthin:
  
  Among the most potent of the carotenoid antioxidants, astaxanthin has been heralded as an ‘internal sunscreen.’ When taken in sufficient amounts, it literally increases skin pigmentation, offering a natural sunshield, albeit producing a slightly orange coloration.
  
  Lycopene:
  
  The antioxidant power of lycopene also boasts benefits for skin protection. Another member of the carotenoid family, tomatoes and watermelon are rich natural sources of this potent antioxidant . Research demonstrates that simply eating tomato paste daily for 10 weeks reduced sunburn by a whopping 40%.
  
  EGCG:
  
  Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea has been shown to have generalized anti-cancer effects. Clinical trials are underway to establish whether topical application of EGCG can retard the progression of basal cell skin problems; it’s unclear whether taking it orally has the same effect.
  
  Curcumin:
  
  A popular ingredient to watch, this potent botanical benefits a variety of health conditions, in addition to benefiting skin health. With its well-documented anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, curcumin, a purified derivative of turmeric, is a promising nutraceutical for solar protection. Test-tube experiments show that it can halt replication of melanoma cells.
  
  Pycnogenol:
  
  An extract of the bark of the French maritime pine grown in Southern France, a region of blistering sunlight, Pycnogenol is rich in antioxidant proanthocyanidins. Topical use of Pycnogenol after UV exposure has been shown to minimize inflammation, swelling and redness of the skin.
  
  Grape Seed Extract:
  
  Grape seed extract also holds significant promise for protecting skin from the sun’s rays.  A study using hairless mice exposed to UV radiation that suggested, oral supplementation of grapeseed extract reduced the incidence and severity of skin problems.
