SUNBURN RECOVERY

Facts

Addition Benefits

• IV Fluids: Our Hawaiian Sun, Sunburn Recovery infusion contains 1 Liter of Normal Saline to restore your hydration status to your body.
• Magnesium: plays a vital role in skin protection, hydration, wound healing, pain relief, and reducing inflammation caused by sunburn. By regulating the skin’s defense mechanism and strengthening its barrier function, magnesium helps prevent damage from UV radiation and reduces the risk of inflammation and redness. Additionally, magnesium increases skin hydration levels, improves the production of natural moisturizing factors, and enhances the skin’s lipid barrier function to retain moisture. It activates fibroblasts and boosts collagen production, accelerating the skin’s healing process after sunburn or other damage. Studies suggest that magnesium may also reduce pain and inflammation by targeting N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Overall, magnesium offers promising benefits for preventing and aiding in sunburn recovery by protecting the skin and promoting its repair and hydration.
• Vitamin C: offers a myriad of benefits for your skin, including repairing redness caused by prolonged sun exposure, slowing the formation of sunburn cells, and inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase to reduce the formation of pigment and brown spots. Additionally, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, thereby slowing the formation of wrinkles, while acting as a powerful antioxidant to fight free radicals and diminish skin damage, resulting in anti-aging effects. Moreover, it provides a brightening effect to the skin, decreases cellular inflammation to combat photo-aging and sun damage, and boosts the immune system, reducing irritation and inflammation in skin tissue.
• Zinc: After a sunburn, zinc plasma levels notably decrease, leading to increased free radical generation and reduced natural antioxidants, which negatively impact wound healing. Zinc plays a crucial role in regulating various aspects of the wound healing process, including membrane repair, oxidative stress management, coagulation, inflammation, immune defense, skin tissue regeneration, and scar formation.
• Vitamin B-complex: containing thiamine, B1, known as the anti-stress vitamin, not only converts glucose into energy and aids in wound healing but also soothes the nervous system. For those combating sunburn-induced premature skin aging, incorporating ingredients promoting skin cell turnover and maintaining healthy collagen levels is crucial for a plump and youthful complexion. Riboflavin, B2, fulfills this role and regulates oil production in skin cells, preventing dryness in individuals with dry skin. Niacin, B3, effectively conditions and nourishes the skin, benefiting those with dry skin and sunburn damage, renowned for its anti-aging properties, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Vitamin B5, Pantothenic acid acts as a humectant, attracting moisture into the skin and maintaining elasticity, thus preventing dryness from UV damage and reducing signs of aging. Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine releases serotonin, the “happy hormone,” combating stress induced by lack of sleep because of sunburn symptoms such as pain and nausea, which can impede cell regeneration. Biotin, B7 supplies essential fatty acids to the skin, preventing cell damage and water loss while offering relief from inflammation caused by sun damage. B9, or folic acid, acts as an antioxidant, promoting skin cell turnover and fighting free radical damage. Lastly, B12 reduces skin inflammation, redness, and dryness, accelerating skin healing by improving cell reproduction.
• Vitamin D: At the tissue level, sunburn triggers vasodilation and dermal edema, resulting in redness and swelling. On a cellular and molecular level, sunburn prompts the influx of white blood cells, neutrophils, and macrophages into the skin, alongside the release of proinflammatory mediators. This immune response leads to swelling and pain. Administering vitamin D3 post-sunburn increases the local concentration of inactive vitamin D3 within sunburned skin, rapidly converting it to active vitamin D3 by keratinocytes and skin-infiltrating macrophages, aiding in the reduction of redness, swelling, and pain. Vitamin D3 supplementation post-sunburn has been shown to decrease skin redness, damage, and levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Studies have demonstrated a consistent upregulation of genes involved in skin repair and wound healing with the rise in serum vitamin D3 levels after infusions.
