Why should melatonin be part of your beauty routine?

Melatonin may offer several benefits for the skin. This compound becomes especially interesting thanks to its antioxidant power and its ability to combat oxidative stress.

The so-called extrapineal melatonin is produced in certain skin cells, in much greater quantities than in the brain, without depending on the circadian rhythm. By penetrating skin cells, it regulates the synthesis of enzymes that repair oxidative damage, stimulating natural antioxidant processes and strengthening the defense against free radicals. Therefore, melatonin has multiple benefits for the skin:

• Protection against UV damage: Melatonin strengthens the skin's natural defenses against UV rays. 
• Reduction of inflammation: Melatonin has an anti-inflammatory effect that helps calm the skin. 
• Improved cell regeneration: Melatonin promotes the regeneration, rejuvenation, and repair of skin cells, especially at night. 
• Antioxidant action: Melatonin helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, preventing premature aging. 
• Wrinkle Reduction: Melatonin can contribute to collagen production, which helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 
• Sunburn Soothing: Melatonin helps mitigate the effects of sunburn and prevent the appearance of dark spots. 
• Skin Texture and Tone Improvement: Melatonin helps improve skin texture and promote a more even skin tone. 

It's important to remember that melatonin is not a replacement for sunscreen, but it can complement sun protection by strengthening the skin's natural defenses. 

Melatonin is suitable for all skin types skin: dry, sensitive, oily or combination, being especially beneficial for those who want to combat and prevent the signs of aging, in addition to providing additional protection against oxidative stress. In addition, it acts as a protective shield, helping to prevent more serious problems such as skin cancer. Thanks to its ability to neutralize free radicals, it reduces damage to cellular DNA, helping to prevent mutations.

And it is key to protecting your skin from sun damage, both short and long term. It helps soothe sunburns and, thanks to its antioxidant power, prevents photoaging.
