There’s nothing better than fun in the sun, and, in fact, there are multiple benefits to absorbing extra Vitamin D while taking advantage of longer days and more hours of sunlight during the warmer months. With that being said, the benefits offered by extra time in the sun can be greatly outweighed by the risks associated with prolonged exposure without adequate protection.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can lead to lasting damage that accelerates signs of aging, increases the risk of skin cancer and leads to other health problems that affect your overall wellness later in life. At Bloo Pharmapeutica, we know how important it is to be aware of the relationship between sun exposure and skin health, as well as how to navigate the risks associated with sun exposure. Below, we’ll highlight some of the top concerns for lasting damage and discuss how our new Aqua Miraculorum product can help keep your aging skin looking its best while boosting your confidence and comfort.

When we discuss the dangers of sun exposure, what we’re really highlighting is the risk of prolonged exposure to UV radiation. As we mentioned above, UV rays can lead to a wide variety of concerns, including:
The most obvious kind of damage resulting from sun exposure are issues that are immediately visible like sunburns and heat stroke. From mild burns that leave your skin pinkish and itchy to severe trauma that results in blistering and peeling, sunburns are an undeniable sign that your skin’s protective barrier has been compromised and cellular damage has occurred. While the occasional mild sunburn may not have long-term effects on your cellular composition, particularly if you’re younger and have higher cellular turnover rates, as you age, repeated sunburns can have more obvious long-term effects beyond immediate pain and discomfort. Leathery skin, constant dehydration and itchiness are all common side effects and serve as an unfortunate reminder of your lack of protection from the sun at various points.
UV rays are the main creators of free radicals in the skin, which are unstable molecules that break down healthy cells by stealing energy and oxygen, leading to oxidative stress. Over time, oxidative stress breaks down collagen and damages cellular DNA. This damage can lead to the premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to advanced signs of aging in younger adults.
Did you know? Combating oxidative stress with the help of a product like Aqua Miraculorum, which harnesses the antioxidant power of methylene blue, is a great way to keep skin hydrated and boost skin elasticity, which may, in turn, delay signs of aging!
Just as UV rays stimulate oxidative stress, they also lead to the production of melanin in the skin, which can lead to uneven pigmentation, known as “sun spots”. These sun spots can be quite unsightly and are a readily visible sign of premature aging.
We often forget that our skin is a vital organ and that its health is integral to our overall wellness. Prolonged sun exposure can weaken our skin’s barrier over time, leaving it less immune to rips, tears, and exposure to outside contaminants that can lead to serious internal health issues.
Skin cancer is the best-known risk associated with sun exposure, and for good reason. UV radiation is a known carcinogen that can cause skin cell mutation and lead to the possibility of skin cancer developing. Though skin cancer is often treatable, it should be taken extremely seriously and can have deadly consequences if left untreated.
As with most healthcare measures, being proactive is the best way to prevent issues from sun damage. In addition to standard best practices of using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when going outdoors, wearing hats and protective clothing, and avoiding spending extensive time in the sun during peak hours, maintaining the overall health and resilience of your skin is crucial to keep it looking and feeling its best.
Bloo Pharmapeutica’s brand new Aqua Miraculorum product makes it easy and convenient to address the discomfort caused by sun exposure, including thin skin, dryness, and more. By maintaining a healthy skin barrier and combating the effects of UV radiation, Aqua Miraculorum helps preserve your skin’s youthful appearance and may reduce the risk of long-term sun damage.
