TLDR Soy can improve skin and hair health and protect against sun damage.
The document discussed the use of soy in dermatological applications, highlighting its anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for skin and hair. Clinical studies indicated that topical soy could improve skin conditions such as melasma and photodamage, enhancing skin tone, texture, and reducing hyperpigmentation over 12 weeks. Additionally, soy was found to potentially minimize hair growth and improve hair softness and fineness. A study involving six adults demonstrated that genistein, a component of soy, could inhibit UVB-induced erythema, suggesting its protective effects against sun damage.
