As I wrote in my previous post, humans have been exposed to the sun for thousands of years and survived just fine – in fact we are probably designed to be exposed to sunlight every day. Why are the skin cancer levels rising? Is it more UV radiation? Or is it something else? The sun doesn’t seem to burn the trees or the animals in the fields. The rest of nature seems to get along just fine, so why aren’t we?

I have always been of the opinion that in matters of health, prevention is always better than a cure. Protecting yourself beforehand is always going to be better than dealing with an existing problem. It’s just that simple. So how do we protect against sun damage?

A sunburn is a cellular event that occurs through an acidic reaction in your skin. The UV radiation in the sun damages the subcutaneous layer of skin cells. If the cells stay hydrated, there is no problem. If they get rehydrated, the problem goes away.

One of our best hydrating products is the Twilight America Magic Water. I challenge you to take this amazing product with you the next time you go to the beach because if you spray it on as you are sitting in the sun you will turn tanned without ever turning red. The point is hydration. If your cells do not become inflamed with acidity in the reaction to the sunlight, there will be no redness in the process.
