You will read everywhere that Vitamin D is related to sun exposure, and the reason is that your body must be exposed to sunlight for at least fifteen minutes daily to produce it. Exposing yourself longer than the recommended time can produce sunburns and other sun damage like pigmentation, wrinkles, and even other skin problems that can be solved just by using some products, especially if the right protection is not used.
A question that is always made is: If I use sunscreen, can I still absorb Vitamin D? The answer is YES! SPF will allow you to prevent sunburns but still will let your body synthesize Vitamin D.
Conditions like Psoriasis, acne, vitiligo, and other skin conditions worsen with a Vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency is not only reflected on your skin but can also cause further conditions like osteoporosis, rickets, and bone density loss.
Vitamin D deficiency is not only caused by the lack of sun, but gastric conditions like mal-absorption syndrome, certain medications, and an inadequate diet can interfere with it.
