Merits of exposure to sunlight for smoother skin and healthier tresses

Early morning sunshine has a calming and healing effect for a reason. Sun exposure-derived vitamin D is essential for keeping skin and hair healthy.

“Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. It can improve mood and stabilize our circadian rhythms, helping us get a better and deeper nights sleep. Psychologically, light can decrease depression scores and even increase cognitive performance such as reaction time and activation,” stated Karishma Shah.

Nutritionist Apurva Agarwal explains the following advantages.

• In order to encourage healthy hair growth, vitamin D works to stimulate hair follicles. It might also contribute to keeping hair thick and avoiding hair loss.
• Sufficient levels of vitamin D facilitate cell growth, repair, and metabolism, which in turn improves the general health of the skin.
• They can lessen redness or inflammation brought on by specific skin diseases and soothe sensitive skin.
