When you have sensitive skin which is prone to reacting to sun protection products, it can be really difficult to know what to do for the best- do you risk skin becoming red and irritated, or do you risk skin becoming red and sunburnt?

The answer to this question is ‘neither’, as the days of generic skin care products are now firmly in the past, and there are now sun protection products available which specifically cater to the needs of different skin types.

Everyone knows just how much of a major no-no stepping outside without applying a sun protection product is, especially during the summer months when skin is prone to burning even more quickly, and even when your skin is very sensitive, you can’t afford to take any chances.

By investing in Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock though, you don’t have to take any chances or any sacrifices, as you can protect skin from the sun without irritating the skin.

Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock, which contains SPF 25, shields skin from the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays whilst providing skin with a light wash of colour- soothing skin along the way.

With the Ultra Sensitive Faceblock, it’s easy to shield sensitive skin from the sun, and the faceblock is brilliant for use all year round.

Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock is a tinted and richly emollient moisturiser that combines a chemical-free sunscreen with a light wash of colour to defend even the most dry and sensitive skin conditions from exposure to daylight. Titanium Dioxide reflects both UVA and UVB rays, while rich conditioning agents and vitamins A, C and E create a shield against environmental drying and irritation. Soothing Grape Seed and Green Tea extracts help to further calm the skin.

• Rich facial sunscreen formulated especially for sensitive skin with sunscreen that is free of chemicals.
• Provides maximum sun protection against damaging UVA and UVB rays.
• Tinted with natural humectants to help protect against moisture loss and blend easily on the face.

Keeping the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays at bay is important all year round, although with the onset of summer now on the horizon, every individual- regardless of their skin type- needs to ensure that they’re doing everything in their power to properly shield skin.

Those with skin which falls into the ‘normal’ category generally don’t find it too difficult to find products which can suitably shield skin, although those with skin which falls into other categories can find it problematic.

Those with sensitive skin often find it a struggle to find sun protection products which don’t irritate the skin- and this problem can result in them neglecting to use a sun protection product altogether.

There’s no reason why even those with very sensitive skin need to take any chances with exposing the skin to the sun’s harmful rays though, as Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock can protect skin without irritating it.

Featuring SPF 25 and a tinted formulation, Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock is chemical-free, and can therefore defend without putting the state of sensitive skin at risk.

Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock also moisturises and conditions whilst it protects, so it’s a great all-rounder which is great for use all year round.

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.

Sun kissed skin is very important for many people, and there’s no doubt that it can make skin look much more alive. Now that the sun is shining, more and more people are vying to achieve the look of tanned skin- particularly those who don’t have a foreign summer holiday planned.

However, we all know the dangers of sunbeds, and sunbathing in hot sun for lengthy periods of time is also very bad for the condition and health of skin, so how can you achieve a lightly bronzed look without suffering from any negative consequences?

Well, by picking the right products for your skin type, achieving that ‘just-stepped-off-the-beach’ look is incredibly simple, and you don’t even have to sacrifice your skin in the process.

Skin experts Dermalogica have a fab range of products for when you’re out and about in the sun, and they’re well known for being extremely effective in protecting against harsh UV rays.

However, if your skin is on the sensitive side and the thought of stepping outside with skin that is looking a little pasty really terrifies you, you should definitely take a look at Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock.

Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Faceblock features a natural looking tint, which can add a really healthy glow to skin. Featuring an SPF 25, this great product is ideal for sensitive skin as it won’t dry it out or cause any irritation.

So, enjoy the sun and achieve a gorgeous glow at the same time- nobody needs to know your little secret!
