Benefit of the sun for the skin | The importance of vitamin D
Dr. Fernandez, founder of Environ, also emphasizes the importance of vitamin D as one of the essential vitamins for skin care.
Vitamin D is called “Happy Vitamin” that is known as a vitamin produced by sunbathing and is a vital vitamin for health.
Deficiency of that vitamin can cause impairing health such as bone growth and feeling depressed.
Dr. Fernandez has mentioned that the best quality of vitamin D produced in the body should be from the sun exposure rather than food.
Here, there is a contradiction from a recommending skin care – “Do not expose to UV rays!”.
However, sunbathing in the summer time between 11am to 3pm for even short hours in the United Kingdom can be recommended in order to create healthy skin*.
By the way, Vitamin D is a vitamin formed from UVB in ultraviolet rays.
Let’s revise about UVA and UVB.
UVA is an ultraviolet ray that darkens the skin (causes pigmentation).
UVB is ultraviolet rays that can cause sunburn. In other words, UVB is the one that can cause burning skin and redness.
It would be easy to understand if you remember A as Ageing “A” and B as Sun Burn’s “B”.
SPF is what prevents UVB.

After all, sunbathing without sunscreen is not recommended in order to gain vitamin D formation. This is because the bad effects of UV rays cannot be avoided and are more harmful to the skin.
Environ Vitamin cream would give you a solution for this issue, because their active ingredients, vitamin A and antioxidants, help protect the skin from photodamage caused by UVA, while effectively helping to form vitamin D.
That’s why Environ is believed to be the most effective cosmetic that can protect the skin from photoaging.
