Everyone enjoys a spot of summer sun, and there’s no doubt that it’s a fantastic mood booster. It’s amazing just how much of a positive outlook on life the sun’s rays can promote, although it’s important to protect skin before you get out and about and start having fun in the sun.

Different skin types can have very different needs, and this is no different when it comes to choosing sun protection. With so many different products on the market promising all manner of things, it’s no wonder that many people become so overwhelmed that they simply reach for the nearest product available.

This is certainly not the way to approach things though, and you need to opt for a product which fully caters to your skin’s needs.

Those with drier skin, or skin which has started to age prematurely, often find it tricky to find a product which can keep skin hydrated whilst provided adequate sun protection AND not leaving a sticky residue- although this no longer needs to be a problem when you reach for Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock.

Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock is a 2 in 1 solution, which provides SPF 30 protection whilst also giving skin the hydration that it needs. After use, skin will feel nourished as opposed to sticky and greasy- giving you the confidence to make the most of everything that a British summer has to offer!

Even spending just a short amount of time outdoors in the summer sun can have a really negative effect on your skin, which highlights just how vital it is to invest in the right products before you even step outside.

The sun can have numerous undesirable effects on the skin- some of which are more serious than others. One side effect of even a seemingly small amount of sun exposure is rough, dry skin.

The sun can lead to the appearance of dry skin on just about every skin type- although some skin types are more susceptible than others. In addition to being very irritating, dry skin can also have an impact on confidence. This is why it’s vital to keep your skin even more hydrated during the summer months.

The good news is that nowadays, you can also protect your skin whilst you’re moisturising, and one such product that can help you to achieve this is Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock.

Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock is an amazing product which intensely moisturises whilst shielding the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. This is a particularly great product for those who suffer with drier skin all year round- and can help to prevent the condition from getting any worse.

Making sure that the summer sun doesn’t ruin all of your skin care efforts is simple when you choose the right products.

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.

Dry skin can be a pain to control at the best of times, and during extreme cold and extreme heat, the task can be even more taxing and time-consuming.

Now that we are in the summer months and the majority of the UK has already experienced some hot, sunny weather, there really is no time like the present to start thinking about how best to keep drier skin under control.

It goes without saying that you really do need to keep yourself hydrated- which means drinking plenty of water throughout the day. In addition to this, you also need to ensure that you’re using a moisturiser that both nourishes and protects your skin.

During cooler months, those with dry and prematurely ageing skin commonly opt for a moisturiser with a richer formulation, although if they aren’t designed for use in the summer, these moisturisers can feel a little heavy, so you should opt for a product which has been specially formulated for use during warmer weather.

Step forward Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock, which is a fantastic moisturiser that nourishes whilst it shields skin against the sun’s harmful rays.

You don’t have to worry about greasy residue either, as Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock absorbs into the skin effortlessly- making it the must have skincare product of the summer for those with dry or prematurely ageing skin.
