Summer’s nearly over but don’t stop protecting your skin

Posted on 20 Aug, 2011

Protecting your skin from the sun is imperative if you are to prevent permanent damage. While many people feel more attractive with a tan that gives a healthy glow, even a slight change in colour is indicative of skin damage.

The sun can cause damage to skin in various ways:

• It can cause excess pigmentation that doesn’t fade with the tan. Freckles and liver spots are both examples of sun-damage.

• Lines and wrinkles are formed when skin has been exposed to the harsh rays of the sun without adequate protection. The skin can take on a saggy appearance, and the delicate skin of the face, neck and décolleté is particularly vulnerable.

While laser therapy, photo rejuvenation and microdermabrasion can help reduce the appearance of sun damage, prevention is always better than cure!

Make sure you use the right skincare products to protect your skin and its youthful appearance. Our Total Protection sun block cream offers an effective solar filter which suits even the most sensitive and reactive of skins.

It contains titanium dioxide, whose tiny particles allow light to reach the skin while blocking UVA and UVB rays, minimising the risk of damage to your skin.
