You’re probably aware that the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun can be divided into two main types, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). Both types damage unprotected skin - but did you know that they don’t affect skin in the same way? Understanding the difference is important when choosing your sun protection and the need for broad spectrum protection.
Chances are that when on holiday, you make sure you’re fully covered in suncream. But do you protect your skin in the same way when you’re back on home turf? While many people only think about sun damage when it’s warm, UV rays can actually impact the skin all year around.
We all know it’s an absolute must to use an SPF protection product on our skin, particularly our face while we’re outside in the sun. But are you aware that your skin is under attack from harmful light and radiation rays all year round?
A good night’s sleep is one of the best ways to keep skin looking youthful and radiant. If you’re not spending enough time snoozing your skin will look tired and dull, while your stress levels can rise which can impact imperfections. Tackling the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes at the same time is a tricky task. You don’t want to make your skin too greasy and increase the risk of a breakout, while at the same time, dry and flaky skin can exacerbate the appearance of wrinkles. Unfortunately, it’s a challenge many women face, with some of the ageing-related changes occurring to your skin actually encouraging breakouts. But with the right skincare routine and mix of products, it’s possible to tackle both the signs of ageing and adult blemishes at the same time.
