One of the biggest enemies of youthful skin is sun exposure. Since our faces are exposed to the elements almost every day, it's no surprise that UV rays can gradually cause damage. And this is true whether you're just taking an occasional walk on the beach or driving outside for 20 minutes a day.
It's not just sun exposure that's responsible for the accelerated signs of skin aging. Experimental evidence suggests that blue light (the light from screens like desktop computers, laptops and cell phones) is also damaging to the skin over time. And the good news? We have the best protection against blue light and UV rays.
Blue light
This type of light, also known as high-energy visible light (HEV), is found just about everywhere these days thanks to the regular use of digital devices such as computers, tablets and cell phones. Even if you're holed up in your office all day and can't see the sun, you're still exposed to blue light through technology.
protection against digital skin aging
IMAGE Skincare's Digital Aging Defense technology helps minimize the visible damage caused by blue light AND sunlight. Hydrolyzed pea protein, a natural ferment, is a key ingredient proven to protect against blue light and pollution.
antioxidants
The PREVENTION+ line also contains a blend of antioxidants that fight free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable atoms that cause signs of aging by breaking down collagen and elastin in the skin. Although collagen and elastin in the skin naturally decrease through the simple process of aging, the noticeable effects - wrinkles and fine lines, uneven texture, dullness and sagging - are accelerated by sun exposure and pollution. Antioxidants are direct opponents of free radicals, able to neutralize their instability.
EcoCert Bio-Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is a mineral UV filter that protects against sun damage by deflecting or scattering the sun's rays. Zinc oxide is reef-safe, meaning it won't harm coral reefs if you live or vacation in an area where they are found. Zinc oxide is also generally safe for skin, especially sensitive skin. Unlike chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide has no potentially harmful effects on humans or the environment. Plus, it's a natural ingredient approved by the Natural Product Association. In addition, EcoCert certification means that strict environmental and social sustainability standards are met. But rest assured, IMAGE Skincare's formula will NOT leave an uncomfortable white mark on your skin.
No chemicals
Many people are turning to natural alternatives in their skincare routine, and sunscreen products are no exception. You'll be happy to know that IMAGE Skincare's PREVENTION+ products do not contain the chemical sunscreens octinoxate and oxybenzone, nor parabens or artificial fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, citrus essential oils provide a light, pleasant scent.
