: : HOW DO CHLORINE, COPPER AND SUN CAUSE THESE ADVERSE AFFECTS? : :
Chlorine, used in swimming pools, is a bleach and it does have a damaging effect on hair. Not only does it affect the texture and color of the hair, but it can also weaken hair at the follicle. Magazines often have advertisements for products that are designed to protect the hair from chlorine damage but many of these products on the market will 'strip' the chlorine from your hair. The ingredients in TRISWIM products work to gently cleanse hair and remove elements without using harsh ingredients and help prevent further damage to hair and skin while swimming.
While we are on the subject of swimmer's hair, let's add some info about sun damage. The same vitamins that can help heal sunburns can also soothe skin and even prevent damage.
Until now, the only defense our skin has had against sunburn was sunscreens. Research confirms some of the UVB radiation from the sun which is not blocked by sunscreens can penetrate into the epidermis layers of the skin and cause sunburn.
Application of vitamin C and vitamin E in the appropriate topical formulation applied to the skin under a UVB sunscreen with zinc oxide can add protection against UVB damage, including sunburn. Even after sun exposure and sunburn damage, vitamin C and vitamin E, when applied in an appropriate topical formulation, can help prevent skin damage due to the anti-inflammatory properties of these antioxidant vitamins.
