Beat the Heat: The Science Behind BioLumin-C Heat Aging Protector SPF 50
We are thrilled to introduce the latest innovation in the BioLumin-C franchise: BioLumin-C Heat Aging Protector SPF 50. If you’re a Vitamin C enthusiast and looking for a powerful way to protect your skin, this formula is designed for you. Combining ultra-stable Vitamin C with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and our ThermaRadiance Complex, this daily moisturiser helps defend against signs of heat aging while instantly brightening and hydrating skin.
But what exactly is heat aging, and why is it important to protect against it? We spoke with Dermalogica’s Education team to break it down.
What is heat aging, and how does it impact skin?
Heat aging is the process by which prolonged exposure to UV rays, high temperatures, and free radicals accelerates visible signs of aging. Unlike the natural aging process, heat aging can cause premature skin damage, leading to:
- Dullness and dehydration
- Uneven texture and tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Redness and irritation
When your skin is exposed to heat – whether from the sun, infrared radiation, or even lifestyle factors like hot showers and workouts – it triggers the breakdown of collagen and elastin, weakening the skin’s structure over time.
Why do Vitamin C and SPF work better together?
We know that SPF is a non-negotiable when it comes to protecting skin from UV damage but pairing it with Vitamin C supercharges your skin’s defence system. Here’s why:
- Vitamin C brightens and fights free radicals: Ultra-stable Vitamin C helps combat oxidative stress, preventing free radical damage that leads to premature aging.
- SPF 50 shields against UV rays: Protects against UVA and UVB exposure, which contribute to skin aging and sunburn.
- ThermaRadiance Complex defends against heat aging: This advanced blend – powered by Physalis extract, Vitamin E, and Bisabolol – works to soothe and hydrate while reinforcing the skin’s resilience to heat stress.
