Below is a genuine picture that I shared many moons ago. It is not AI, nor has it been photoshopped, it is very real and has featured in many medical journals to highlight the effects of UVA rays on the skin.
It shows a man who worked as a trucker for 28 years, and the damage caused to one side of his face by UVA rays penetrating his truck window. The other side of his face shows no damage as they were not exposed to UVA rays and is a great example of how an SPF that filters UVA rays out will protect you.
I am always asked how I keep my skin in great condition, some of it is genetics, but mostly it is how I look after my skin and I started my skincare journey at age just 15. However, it is never too late to start, for the past 18 months I have been using my own skincare range and definitely notice the difference.
I tell my clients that drinking plenty of water and keeping hydrated (dehydration is the biggest cause of premature aging) is far better than any facial or skincare product. The next best thing is SPF.
SPF is your BFF!
So for those that say 'ugh, I can't drink water' or 'I haven't got time for a skincare routine', at the very least, use an SPF to protect your skin.
Here is how it works in simple terms.
UV rays are split into 2 types:
UVB which is what gives you the suntan/sunburn.
UVA which is responsible for premature aging and pigmentation.
Here is the kicker...UVA rays are penetrating your skin through clouds, windows, anything that doesn't filter out UVA rays. As long as there is daylight, there are UVA rays, so that is basically every day of the year.
In order to minimise the pe*******on, you need a Broad Spectrum SPF 50 to target both the UVB & UVA rays. Standard sunscreen just offers UVB protection so you are still exposed to premature aging.
This is where I come in.
My range of Broad Spectrum SPF 50 contains high end ingredients and has Gold Standard modern UVA filter combinations. It is medical grade, and has other anti-aging ingredients included to help with collagen and elastin production, as well as keeping skin hydrated therefore can be used as a moisturiser making it far superior than a basic sunscreen.
It will block the vast majority of UVA rays, far more than most other sunscreens sold in the UK and the USA.
It also includes a slight tint, which doesn't show on the skin but stops the white, chalky appearance you get with most SPF 50 products.
So, if you don't drink enough water and haven't got the budget or time for a full skincare regimen, at least invest in a broad spectrum spf50.
