Abstract

As melanoma rates continue to rise, there is an increasing 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 may enhance skin protection and help reduce the long-term risk of photoaging and skin cancer.
