A comprehensive approach to skin protection against ultraviolet radiation: Integrating sunscreens, antioxidants, DNA repair agents, oral supplements, and probiotics.

As melanoma rates continue to rise, there is a growing need for comprehensive strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This review explores an integrative approach to photoprotection that combines traditional mineral and chemical UV filters with emerging protective strategies, including antioxidants, oral supplementation, DNA repair agents, and probiotics. By addressing UV-induced damage at multiple levels, this multifaceted approach offers enhanced skin protection and may contribute to reducing the long-term risk of photoaging and skin cancer.
