What is photoaging?
Photoaging is the process by which chronic sun exposure causes premature skin deterioration . Unlike chronological aging, which occurs naturally with age, photoaging is caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays , which alter the skin's structure from the deepest layers.
This damage can manifest as:
-
Loss of elasticity and firmness
-
Deep wrinkles
-
Sun spots (hyperpigmentation)
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Rough and dehydrated skin
How does the sun affect skin aging?
Prolonged exposure to UV rays destroys the collagen and elastic fibers that keep skin youthful and firm. It also promotes the formation of free radicals , unstable molecules that damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process.
This damage is cumulative, meaning that even short exposures without facial sun protection can have long-term consequences.
What ingredients help prevent and reverse sun damage?
At Bove Health, we develop formulas with active ingredients that help repair, protect, and nourish skin against sun damage. These are some of the most effective:
1. CBD (Cannabidiol)
Known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties , CBD fights free radicals, soothes irritation, and strengthens the skin barrier.
2. Vitamin C
A powerful antioxidant that brightens skin, reduces sun spots, and stimulates collagen production.
3. Hyaluronic acid
Provides deep hydration , essential for maintaining soft, elastic and visibly younger skin.
4. Retinol (derived from vitamin A)
Promotes cell renewal and improves the texture of skin with visible signs of photoaging.
