Q&A

• What role do zinc and selenium play in protecting the skin from UV radiation?

  Balanced sun exposure for vitamin D without burning is essential. Zinc and selenium levels influence the skin's ability to counteract UV radiation. Deficiency in these minerals may lead to overproduction of melanin. Using creams or supplements containing zinc and selenium can support skin health.

• How do zinc and selenium contribute to skin health?

  Zinc and selenium act as antioxidants, regulate melanin production, protect DNA, and work well when combined with vitamin D. Both minerals help reduce melanin overproduction and oxidative damage.

• What natural ingredients can help reduce aging spots?

  Melanin absorbs UV light and natural ingredients such as vitamin C, grape seed extract, licorice extract, and zinc can help reduce aging spots. Zinc and selenium have been found to have a significant effect on aging spots according to research.

• What can trigger increased pigmentation and melanin production?

  UV radiation and oxidative stress can trigger melanin production, leading to increased pigmentation. Other triggers include pregnancy, diabetes, inflammation, and certain drugs.

• How does melanin production relate to skin health?

  Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting the skin from UV radiation. However, it can also block vitamin D production. As people age, melanin distribution changes, leading to uneven spots on the skin.

• What causes aging spots?

  Aging spots are caused by a lack of a specific mineral, and melanin production in the skin, which acts as a protective barrier against UV radiation. They are common in people over 60, and understanding their development and risks is crucial.

• 00:00 A lack of a specific mineral causes aging spots, which are related to melanin production and protection against UV radiation. These spots are common in people over 60, and understanding their development and risks is important.
• 01:20 Melanin is a natural sunscreen but can block vitamin D production. Blemish treatments may have side effects, but natural solutions are available. Melanin distribution changes with age, causing uneven spots on the skin.
• 02:40 UV radiation and oxidative stress can trigger melanin production, leading to increased pigmentation. Other triggers include pregnancy, diabetes, inflammation, and certain drugs.
• 04:02 Melanin absorbs UV light and neutralizes damage while natural ingredients like vitamin C, grape seed extract, licorice extract, and zinc can help reduce aging spots.
• 05:21 Zinc and selenium are beneficial for skin health, as they act as antioxidants and help regulate melanin production. They also protect DNA and work well when combined with vitamin D.
• 06:40 Exposure to sunlight can be beneficial for getting vitamin D, but excessive exposure may lead to skin damage. Zinc and selenium levels play a crucial role in protecting the skin against UV radiation. Deficiency in these minerals could result in overcompensation by the body, leading to increased melanin production. Using creams or supplements containing zinc and selenium can help maintain adequate levels and support skin health.
