Now that we are firmly in the midst of summer, it is vital to pay a little extra attention to your skincare regime. As the British summer is so unpredictable, the weather can change from hour to hour and it can be difficult to determine just how much sun protection your skin will need.

It really is better to be safe than sorry though, and even short periods of sun exposure can cause lasting skin damage. By now, the majority of us have realised just how much of a negative effect the sun’s rays can have on the state of our skin and our health, so it really isn’t worth taking any risks.

Even if you don’t intend on spending a great deal of time outdoors, it’s always good to be prepared, and one item that has a place in every handbag is Dermalogica Solar Shield.

Dermalogica Solar Shield, which has SPF 15, can be quickly and easily applied to areas which are most likely to burn easily- such as the nose and lips.

In addition to providing sun protection, it also helps to keep these vulnerable areas hydrated- making a dry sunburnt face a thing of the past.

Pop Dermalogica Solar Shield in your handbag and prepare yourself for every eventuality.

As we don’t often get a lot of warm sun in the UK, on the odd occasions when the sun does rear its head, it can be far too easy get a little over-excited and head outdoors without adequately protecting skin.

Although you have probably heard it time and time again, it really is vital that you apply sun block in order to guard your skin against the sun’s damaging rays. Failure to do so can have a number of negative effects- many of which can be very long-lasting.

One side effect of sun exposure which many people aren’t actually aware of is skin pigmentation. It’s thought that one key reason why many aren’t aware of the fact that skin pigmentation can be caused by the sun is because it can take years for effects to show.

Skin pigmentation which occurs as the result of excessive sun exposure can take years to develop- by which time, the tan which seemed so important all that time ago has long disappeared.

Luckily, dealing with skin discolouration doesn’t have to involve a trip to the cosmetic surgeon, as there are some great products available nowadays which can be used in the comfort of your own home. Dermalogica Extreme C is one such product.

In addition to helping to improve the look of discolouration and giving skin a new lease of life, Dermalogica Extreme C can also help to prevent any future damage. Extreme C works equally well when used on small or larger areas of the face and neck and can be used alone or with moisturiser.

For many men, shaving is a necessity rather than a pleasurable pastime, and this is why a large proportion reach for the first razor and shaving products that come to hand- in a bid to get the job over and done with as quickly as possible.

Nowadays, it seems that barely a day goes by without being confronted with a new TV advert promoting the latest must-have ‘miracle’ razor. As good as these razors may claim to be though, the products which you use and the ways in which you use them also play a major part in ensuring a good shave.

With so many different shaving products on the market these days though, choosing the best product for your skin type and your needs can feel like a tricky task- although it really doesn’t have to be.

Dermalogica Shave System products are a first choice with many men, as they are specially designed to provide a clean, smooth shave to different skin types.

In addition to the products used when shaving, the pre and post-shave products which you opt for also play a major part- and the Dermalogica Shave System range can cater for all of these needs.

Transform your shaving regime and your skin with a little help from the Dermalogica Shave System.

Even during the summer months, the weather in the UK can be very unpredictable. It’s all too common to step out of the house in the morning to be greeted with dull, dreary weather- only for the sun to shine brightly just a few hours later.

This can make it all too easy to get caught unawares- which is certainly not ideal, as even small amounts of sun exposure can have lasting negative effects on the skin.

When the sun is shining brightly, many people find themselves squinting- and this can be a major factor in contributing to the appearance of fine lines. The skin around the eye area is significantly more fragile than skin on other parts of the face, which makes it even more susceptible to sun damage.

Luckily though, there are some quick and easy ways of protecting the eye area from damaging UV rays and restoring sun damaged skin.

In order to protect your eyes and the skin around the area from sun damage, you need to invest in sunglasses which can effectively guard against UV rays. In addition to this, you also need to ensure that you protect skin with a suitable SPF. Before sun exposure, apply a Dermalogica sunblock designed for use on the face- such as the Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock or Oil Free Matte Block (there are a range of different products available depending on your skin type.)

For skin that has already suffered skin damage, take a look at Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair- which is great for perking up prematurely ageing skin.

Enjoy the summer sun whilst in lasts- but don’t sacrifice your skin.
