Dermalogica Skincare Blog

So far, the majority of the UK seems to be enjoying a splendid summer, and to be fair, it’s long overdue. British summers are well known for being both extremely unpredictable and extremely disappointing, so the last couple of weeks have been welcomed wholeheartedly.

When the weather is so bright, warm and sunny, there’s no better way of spending your free time than by getting yourself out and about and enjoying the weather while it lasts. However, as we generally aren’t used to experiencing these kinds of climatic conditions for the majority of the year, it’s all too easy to head outside unprepared- leaving your skin fully exposed to the sun’s rays.

Failing to protect your skin from UV rays can have a really damaging effect, and effects can be very difficult to reverse, and may even be permanent. Cosmetic effects are just the tip of the iceberg though, and stepping out without an adequate sunscreen can have serious effects on your health.

Protecting your skin doesn’t have to be a time-consuming or tricky task though, as there are some great products for all skin types on the market nowadays.

Not only do Dermalogica boast some of the best skin care products in the business, they also have a great range of sunscreens.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System is stacked full of amazing products which can give your skin the protection that it really needs.

If you’re unsure of which products to opt for, you should definitely consider investing in the Dermalogica Daylight Defence Kit- which contains Dermalogica Solar Shield, Solar Defence Booster, Multivitamin Bodyblock and After Sun Repair- everything you need to keep your skin looking stunning whilst the temperatures (hopefully!) continue to soar.

If you’re one of those unlucky people who regularly finds themselves looking red-faced and sunburnt during the warmer months, it may be that your sun protection just isn’t adequate.

Time and time again we are reminded of the importance of cleansing, toning and moisturising, and although these are key in ensuring that your skin is in the best condition possible, you do also need to bear in mind that your skin has different needs during different seasons.

Ideally, a moisturiser or makeup with an SPF should be worn throughout the year, as the sun’s rays can play havoc with skin even when the sky is filled with clouds. However, an SPF is even more important in the summer when the sun is at its brightest and strongest.

Even one instance of sunburn can have lasting effects on the skin, and although this effects may not be immediately visible, you will certainly know about it in years to come!

Top excuses for not using an effective sunscreen are lack of time, forgetfulness, or that is has worn off after time in the pool. There really is no room for excuses though, especially with Dermalogica Solar Defence Wipes available to purchase.

These great wipes feature an SPF15, and are extremely quick and easy to use. Suitable for use on the entire body, they can be popped in your handbag or beach bag and applied as and when necessary.

Don’t suffer in the sun- invest in Dermalogica Solar Defence Wipes and you won’t have to think of any excuses.

Even though we’re now slap-bang in the middle of summer, there are still some individuals who have yet to sort out their summer skin care regime, and for those who are guilty of this it’s important that it is addressed as soon as possible.

There are several reasons why some people are still solely using the same skin products which they use all year round- from lack of time to confusion- and as there are so many different sun protection products on the market nowadays, it certainly isn’t difficult to get confused.

Although it’s important to keep skin protected from the sun’s harmful rays whatever time of year it is, it’s even more important during the summer months, as skin is far more likely to burn.

Addressing your summer skin care situation doesn’t mean that you have to throw out all of your old products though- you should simply tailor your regime to suit different scenarios.

When you’re out and about in the summer sun- whether sunbathing or shopping- it’s vital to adequately protect exposed areas of the body. Failing to do so could result in long term skin damage (not to mention the potential health implications).

Dermalogica’s fantastic Solar Defence System range offers a number of quality, effective products for the face and body- which are great for different skin types.

If you want to try out a range of the products in order to determine which best suit your needs, invest in the Dermalogica Daylight Defence Kit, which contains Dermalogica After Sun Repair, Dermalogica Multivitamin Bodyblock, Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster and Dermalogica Solar Shield- and start protecting your skin before it’s too late.

The summer is the perfect time to get out and about and watch catch some sporting action. Whether you’re watching the World Cup in a pub garden, attending a school sports day or are lucky enough to be attending one of the many horse racing events around the UK, you need to ensure that you’re skin is sufficiently protected.

When you’re engrossed in a sports match, it can be all to easy for sun protection to slip to the back of your mind, and many people don’t realise that they are getting sunburnt until they step inside and realise that their skin has transformed from beautiful to bright red.

It’s safe to say that the sunburnt look is never the most attractive, although there really is no reason why you have to suffer, as there are plenty of sunscreen products around to suit just about every skin type.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System range is renowned for offering some of the best sun protection products on the market today- which will not only shield skin but also keep it nourished and hydrated at the same time.

Once you’ve sorted your sun protection, you’re free to sit back, relax and enjoy all of the exciting action.

One of the best things about summer is getting the barbeque out and serving up some delicious burgers and sausages. As it looks as though the warm weather is here for the time being, this gives us plenty of opportunity to hold plenty of barbeques.

However, whether you’re in charge of the cooking or are simply sitting back and enjoy the delicious food, it can be all too easy to forget about protecting your skin.

When food is the only thing on your mind, applying sunscreen can seem like the least of your priorities, and before you know it your skin is as burnt as the sausages on the barbeque!

As well as being extremely painful and not the most attractive look in the world, sunburn can have long lasting effects on both your health and the future appearance of your skin.

We all know about the risks of skin cancer, and in addition to this, sun exposure can also lead to the appearance of dark areas of pigmentation. Both conditions can take years to appear- which is why it’s best to take precautions now rather than risk ruining your future.

Dermalogica have a great variety of sun protection products- some of which you only need to apply just once and can last for hours.

Make sure that your barbeque food is the only thing getting burnt this summer.
