The sun is pretty hardcore, and if you don’t protect yourself from its harsh rays, you run the risk of developing skin cancer and having to deal with pigmentation and premature ageing. With countless sunscreen protection products on the market, Heliocare has introduced a new form of sun protection with their Heliocare Caps. A ground-breaking innovation designed to fortify your skin from the inside out, this capsules provide a shield against a wide spectrum of damaging radiation.
How Harsh Are The Sun’s Rays?
You may enjoy sun basking now and then, but without proper protection, the dangers of the sun’s rays go beyond a harsh sunburn. While UV rays primarily affect the epidermis, leading to sunburn, premature ageing, and heightened skin cancer risk, visible, and infrared (IR) radiation penetrate deeper, reaching the dermis and triggering a cascade of detrimental effects.
Visible light, part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye, can induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the skin. These highly reactive molecules can instigate oxidative stress, resulting in cellular damage, inflammation, and premature ageing. Visible light sources include sunlight, artificial lighting such as light bulbs and electronic devices, and natural phenomena like fires.
Similarly, infrared radiation, perceived as heat, can also generate ROS and contribute to oxidative stress within the skin. With its ability to penetrate deeper than UV radiation, IR radiation poses a significant threat to skin integrity, degrading collagen and elastin fibers, and exacerbating existing skin conditions like hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Optimum Sun Protection With Heliocare Caps
Heliocare Caps feature Fernblock®, a potent antioxidant derived from a rare Central American plant species. This exclusive standardised Polypodium leucotomos extract offers powerful protective, antioxidant, and restorative properties, acting both topically and orally.
With Fernblock’s comprehensive defence against UVB, UVA, visible, and IR radiation, these capsules prevent immediate damage, such as burns, while also addressing long-term concerns like skin ageing, dark spots, and even skin cancer risk.
Heliocare 360° Capsules – RRSP – R731-00
Heliocare 360° Capsules is best used to complement topical photoprotection (sunscreen) when the sun is at its highest intensity and lasts solar exposure. These capsules are great in helping protect those at high risk of skin cancer, pigmentation, and skin ageing.
That said, they should not be used instead of a high-factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen but to provide an extra layer of protection.
Heliocare Ultra Oral Capsules – RRSP – R572-00
These capsules come with high content in Fernblock®, which increases the skin’s resistance to the sun from the first capsule and neutralise and repair sun damage. Homogeneous protection is achieved in combination with topical photoprotection for hard-to-reach areas (scalp, eyes, ears, etc.). Its formula includes vitamins D, C and E, lutein and lycopene. Gluten-free.
Finding The Best Sun Protection For You
People who experience acne may shy away from wearing sunscreen because they’re concerned about it being thick, or greasy, or blocking pores or creating more breakouts. This is why it’s essential to select a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen designed for skin prone to breakouts.
Doing so will give you the vital daily sun protection your skin needs without contributing to further breakouts and spots, as you will find many daily sunscreens are non-comedogenic (meaning they won’t block your pores).
Watch Out For The Sun
Whether you’re outdoors enjoying leisure time or indoors pursuing daily activities, Heliocare Caps are your reliable solution for shielding your skin against the sun’s harmful rays. Incorporate them into your daily routine for peace of mind and comprehensive protection wherever your day takes you.
