Did you know that our skin has its own unique biological clock? Our skin behaves differently over a 24-hour period. At night, our skin is in regeneration mode. It’s the optimum time for skin recovery - collagen production soars and skin renewal rate almost doubles! So what’s our skin up to during the daytime? Well, it’s quite the opposite. Our skin shifts from renewal mode and shifts gear into defence mode.
More on Our Skin’s Daylight Defense Mode
During the day our skin cells are working hard to protect themselves from UV exposure and free radical damage. Much of the ageing we see on our skin is a result of daytime environmental exposure. Natural supplies of antioxidants are used by skin to prevent damage by quenching the harmful free radicals found in our environment. But, with the level of free radicals we are exposed to in the modern world, our skin’s antioxidant source is often left depleted.
Our skin faces more threats than ever before. UV radiation remains one of the most harmful and age accelerating influences on the skin, but pollution is catching up. Pollution, like UV, releases free radicals, causing deterioration to our collagen and elastin, along with a significant increase in pigmentation. To amp up your skin’s daily defences, Prisma Protect SPF30 is a technologically advanced, multi-tasking moisturiser.
