We have to admit it: we love spending hours in the sun. Not only on the beach or during the holidays, since a coffee after eating on a terrace with a lot of light cannot make you feel better, whether we are talking about our mood or about our body. And it is that the star king gives us vitamin D, a nutrient that promotes healthy bones, muscles, the nervous system and even the skin. Although we can also find it in certain foods such as fatty fish, eggs or dairy products, a daily exposure to the sun (always with protection) is highly recommended to avoid conditions that can cause a low level of presence in our body.
In Spain, we are lucky to enjoy long periods (and hours!) of sunshine, and yet we are one of the countries with the highest vitamin D deficiency. This can cause, in addition to a lack of light and hydration, conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne and other skin conditions that force us to include specific treatments in our daily routine to tackle them. To avoid them and try to reinforce their synthesis, we can complement the intake of foods rich in this nutrient with a cosmetic that contributes to it topical route that allows us to reach the recommended dose of between 40 ng/ml and 60 ng/ml.
He Vitamin D Skin Booster, from Freshly Cosmetics, has been specifically formulated for this. This cosmetic, which is used in combination with others in the daily routine, helps increase the presence of this nutrient in the skin, in addition to providing luminosity and elasticity and protecting it from free radicals thanks to its antioxidant power. Of course, this product is a complement to an adequate diet and responsible sun exposure, and in no case should it replace any of the above.
The Vitamin D Skin Booster is not just any cosmetic: it is a booster and, as such, it must be applied properly. For those who are not familiar with this term, it is a product that we can mix with any facial or body product that, in this case, It will help us to increase the synthesis of endogenous Vitamin D and thus combat its deficiency. In fact, according to data from Freshly Cosmetics, “vitamin D in the epidermis increases by +77% without sun exposure and by +119% with controlled sun exposure and having applied SPF 50 sun cream.” In addition, its frequent use helps protect the skin from free radicals thanks to its antioxidant power, provides luminosity, smoothness and elasticity to the skin and reduces inflammatory processes and improves psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne and vitiligo.
