Protecting your skin from autumn sunshine

So, the summer might all but have deserted us now (well, what little most of us saw of it)- but this certainly doesn’t mean that you can afford to desert your sun protection efforts.

Due to the fact that we’re generally not lucky enough to enjoy a great amount of scorching hot sun in this country, this has led many to believe that their skin isn’t at risk. This isn’t the case though.

When the summer sun is nothing but a very distant memory, and when the leaves start to fall, you still need to make sure that SPF protection forms part of your skin care regime.

Many people believe that applying a product with SPF protection will add precious minutes to their skin care regime in the morning, although there are some superb products out there nowadays which can add mere seconds yet which can effectively protect skin from the summer sunshine.

Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster, Oil Free Matte Block and Super Sensitive Faceblock are all fantastic for shielding skin from the autumn sun, and the fab thing about all of these products is that they’re really quick and easy to use- which means no rushing about in the morning!

It’s never too early to start thinking about your summer skin care

Looking after your skin properly and protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays is essential whatever the time of year, although with the start of warmer weather now in sight, there’s no time like the present to start thinking about how you’re going to shield your skin.

Although some weather forecasters have predicted that real summer sun won’t hit us until August, it’s fair to say that these forecasts aren’t always the most accurate, and you shouldn’t put yourself at risk of getting caught out.

When you’re out and about in the spring and summer sun, protecting the face with an adequate sun screen is a must. The Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock, Oil Free Matte Block and Super Sensitive Faceblock products are all very popular and very effective, and they’re designed to meet the needs of different skin types. Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster is the perfect product for those looking to add SPF 30 protection to their favourite moisturiser or foundation.

Once you’ve sorted your daily sun protection for the skin on your face, you can then start to look for a product to protect the skin on the body for when it’s finally warm enough to flash a little more flesh.

Sensitive sun screen solutions

If you have sensitive skin, you’ll understand how difficult it can be to find products which don’t irritate it in any way. Finding cosmetics and skin care products which don’t bring your skin out in a rash, blemishes or make it feel dehydrated can feel like an absolute nightmare, although there are many great products on the market at the moment which have been specially tailored for this skin type.

One product which many people with sensitive skin have problems with is sunscreen, and this has led to some neglecting to apply any altogether- and suffering the consequences.

Even when the sun doesn’t appear to be shining particularly brightly, the sun’s rays can still have a really damaging effect- especially on exposed areas such as the face. So, for this reason, sunscreen is essential even on those duller days, and nobody should take the gamble of leaving the house without it- sensitive skin or not.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System offers some great sunscreens for sensitive skin, which effectively protect against UV rays whilst also keeping the skin in optimum condition.

Both the Dermalogica Super Sensitive Faceblock and Dermalogica Ultra Senstive Faceblock feature chemical free formulations, which offer SPF 30 AND SPF 25 protection respectively. For a healthy hint of colour which doesn’t require sun exposure, opt for the Ultra Sensitive Faceblock.

Even the most sensitive of skin can be shielded from sun damage this summer.

Sensitive skin can still be shielded

Everyone needs to ensure that they protect their skin from the sun’s harmful rays- whatever their skin type. Skin can even suffer damage during the colder months- so it’s not difficult to imagine just how much damage skin can sustain when the hot sun is shining brightly in the middle of the summer.

However, those whose skin often presents problems can find it tricky to find a sun screen to suit, as products for ‘normal’ skin often just aren’t suitable. Those with sensitive skin often struggle to find products which can effectively shield their skin from UV rays without any unwanted side effects, and for this reason, many risk stepping out into the sun without any protection whatsoever.

This is a very quick route to burnt and damaged skin though- and damage could even be permanent. In order to prevent sensitive skin from burning, an effective sun screen- such as Dermalogica Super Sensitive Faceblock- is a must.

Dermalogica Super Sensitive Faceblock has been specially formulated for very sensitive skin, and helps to soothe skin whilst blocking out the sun’s rays.

Add to the equation that this faceblock also helps to prevent premature skin aging, and those with sensitive skin have the perfect combination for achieving a stunning summer complexion.
