Herbs offering Sun
Protection
When it come to
sun
damage,
prevention is the key, so do your best to limit your sun exposure, and
wear protective clothing or sunscreen when you go outside. Almost 75
percent of sun damage occurs without our even going to the beach or lying
out in the sun — as we walk down the street, ride a bike or even drive a
car (if the windows are down). Special skin cells spread a dark pigment
called melanin through the skin to tan it, protecting sensitive
underlying cells from the sun's destructive tendencies. |
