Now that summer is officially here, it is most definitely the time to invest in effective sunscreens to protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun, and to fight the resultant oxidative stress through appropriate sun protection factor levels in conjunction with nourishing antioxidants. In addition to fighting free-radical damage, antioxidants also enhance the effectiveness of sunscreens by aiding in the prevention sun damage. Of course, one must exercise caution by taking preventative measures against excessive sun-exposure, and therefore limiting the amount of time in the sun and reapplying sunscreen is an absolute necessity.

DermWORX has a wonderful two-step solution to protect the skin through the use of an antioxidant-rich serum that works in tandem with their sunscreen to keep skin in tip-top shape this summer. Their CerumWORX Day Serum and Pure Balance Sunscreen, which is referred to as their 'antioxidant cocktail' does a remarkable job by keeping skin nourished, protected and radiant.
