Keeping your skin healthy and glowing can be a constant battle, especially in a tropical country that receives strong sunlight all year round. A little sunshine is good, but overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can harm your skin.
UV rays are one of your skin’s worst enemies. Too much UV rays activate the enzyme tyrosinase which leads to the overproduction of melanin, a pigment that gives skin its colour. There are two major forms of melanin – eumelanin (dark pigment) and pheomelanin (light pigment). Excessive melanin production results in its uneven distribution in the epidermis, showing up as skin darkening, uneven skin tone and appearance of unsightly dark spots.
When your skin is exposed to UV rays, it will produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can cause oxidative damage to your skin. This induces photo-ageing, characterised by the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and skin dryness.
L-glutathione for skin lightening
To shield your skin from the sun, you can apply sunscreen, cover up with clothes, wear a hat, or even avoid outdoor activities. However, these precautions are never truly enough!
Healthy, glowing complexion does not work solely on external protection alone but should start with nourishment from within. L-glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant, has been in the spotlight for its astonishing efficacy in skin lightening.
How does L-glutathione work?
Your body produces its own glutathione, a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate and glycine. However, the levels naturally decline with age. Poor diet, environmental toxins and stress can quickly drain your glutathione stores, making supplementation necessary.
