Sun safety myth, Jeremy Renner's incredible recovery, and more!

Hey there,

Summer is officially almost here. It’s time to dust off your swimsuit. Crank up the BBQ and protect your skin. But don’t just fall in the trap of grabbing any ol’ sunscreen off the shelf this year. Because when it comes to summer skin care…

We’ve got you covered!

Grab your favorite cup of coffee and let’s dive into this week's Vital Reaction Roundup, here’s your summer skin care guide.

The Sun, Your Skin, and You

Lounging in the lazy summer sun can wash away some of life’s daily annoyances, even if for a little bit.
But you want err on the side of caution because as you know sunburns catch you off guard.
The problem is what’s happening unnoticed under the surface of your skin.
Premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and potentially even skin cancer.
That's why understanding the truth about sun safety is critical….

Surprising Truths You Need to Know

• SPF isn't just a number: Think of SPF like a diving board. SPF 30 is the low board, protecting against 97% of UVB rays. SPF 50 is the medium board, blocking 98%. And SPF 100? The high dive at 99%. As long as you take the plunge with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours, you're good to go!
• The shady truth: Picture yourself sitting under a beach umbrella, thinking you're safe from the sun. Surprise! UV rays bounce off surfaces like sand, water, and even grass, finding you in the shade. And on cloudy days, 80% of UV rays still pass through the clouds. The takeaway? Always wear sunscreen, no matter the weather and when you’re in the shade.
• Heat vs. UV rays: Don't be fooled by the temperature! Heat is unrelated to UV rays. Even on overcast days the sun’s rays can still give your skin a sizzle. Stay vigilant and protect your skin year-round.
• The "base tan" fallacy: Think again before getting that base tan. Studies say, is the equivalent of wearing SPF 3 to 4, which offers minimal protection. But hey, if it makes you look good, who are we to judge? Just make sure you still apply the sunscreen.

Now that we've got sun safety covered, let’s talk about adding an extra layer of skin care protection using molecular hydrogen.

The Power of Hydrogen: Protecting Your Skin from Oxidation

Sun exposed skin produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), turning youthful plump skin into tired-looking skin.

Left untreated, sun damage can trigger inflammation, aging, and even the dreaded skin cancer.

But molecular hydrogen can help.

By incorporating molecular hydrogen into your routine, you're giving your skin extra protection by activating the body’s internal antioxidant system.

Remember, this is not a substitute for sunscreen and protective clothing, but an additional layer of antioxidant support for your skin's health and well-being.

So, as we welcome the sun and all the outdoor fun that comes with it, let's stay educated, protected, and proactive.

Embrace the sun, but do it safely with molecular hydrogenwatching your back.
