Why good skincare contributes to longevity and minimizes damage?
Sun in summer and all seasons can have a great impact on skin’s aging. Sun breaks down collagen. It causes pigmentation and can cause dryness from dehydration. It is as important if not more so than genetics and hormones in the process of aging.
With proper skincare you can look healthy now and amazing as you age. Your supple skin and habits that keep the sun from inflicting aging from exposure will reflect the interior condition of your body, as well. The same good habits and process delay sun damage and slow aging.
Establish a Daily Skincare Routine:
- Think: cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin daily.
- Use gentle cleansers suited for your skin type and avoid harsh products.
- Apply moisturizers with ingredients that smooth on easily and plump the skin.

Protect Against Environmental Damage:
- Guard against detrimental effects of pollution, UV rays, and free radicals on the skin.
- Use antioxidants, such as vitamin C or green tea extract, to combat environmental damage.
- Apply Moondust’s Skin Protector Plus (SPP) under make up and for leisure activities outdoors.
Nourish Your Skin from Within:
- Sip and savor the super benefits of being well hydrated.
- Balance your diet with a healthy and rich array of fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids.
A for antiaging and when you pay special attention to a healthy and whole foods based diet:
Did you know how the advice you know is coming works?
Dietary science has shown that limiting your intake of processed foods, and increasing lean protein, keeping to healthy fats, and produce yields a more vibrant look to your skin. Eating those fruits and vegetables, especially the brightly coloured leave you rich in antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. These make your skin more resilient and have anti-inflammatory effects.
Data also point to sugar, another usual suspect due to dietary sugar or a medical condition such as diabetes, may lead to sugar binding to the collagen molecules in your skin. It can make them more rigid and more fragile. A small tweak and reduction may result in benefits to your skin and overall health benefits.
Dress Wisely for Sun Protection:
Time to bring out and enjoy the fun and protective fashion of hats, sunglasses, loose and long sleeved clothes. They add a layer of protection and comfort in addition to your Skin Protector Plus application.
So, apply Skin Protector Plus when out in the sun, even if the day is overcast and seems ‘safe’. Even if you are a passenger near a car window, on a plane or in a bus seat headed to work or adventure. Reapply as needed.
Be consistent in your application habits and regular reapplication as well as the tips above to keep you feeling and looking young.
Do so whether on the sand, surf, snow or traveling to it!
