How tanning damages the
skin
A tan occurs when the skin
absorbs ultraviolet radiation. In response, in
an apparent effort to protect itself,
melano-cytes generate pigments called melanin,
which darkens the skin's outer layers. Darker
skin is associated with greater protection from
the sun, however, by the time a tan develops
skin damage has already occurred. After damage
has occurred, there are special enzymes that
repair DNA from oxidative damage. These special
enzymes are often themselves damaged and are
incapable of repairing the DNA damage.
SafeTanning
There is no such thing as completely safe
tanning, however, tanning can be made much safer
now with Fernblock. It cannot be made any
safer that with fernblock.
Fernblock is a natural
extract of the Native American fern Polypodium
leucotomos. This plant has been used by Native
Americans for centuries to treat tumors, skin
diseases (including psoriasis), and sunburn.
Modern researchers have discovered that the oral
ingestion of this fern may provide previously
unavailable skin cancer protection by blocking
the damage that dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays
cause to living skin cells.
Fernblock
makes for a safer tanning
by decreasing the consequences of
acute sun exposure, such as redness and
sunburn-cell formation and helps to maintain
specialized immune cells in the skin to fight
cancer.
Fernblock
also inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes
that contribute to skin aging.
Fernblock safely helps to
inhibit harmful UV damage and quenches dangerous
free radicals that can damage DNA and interfere
with the body’s DNA-repair mechanisms.
For an even safer tanning
experience
Fernblock
should be complemented with a topical sunscreen,
especially, for very long periods of sun
exposure. FernBlock complements the effects of
sunscreens by protecting the entire skin surface
and has an obvious advantage since it cannot be
removed by perspiring or bathing.
