Love your garden? Love your skin more. 🌿☀️
Happy National Garden Day! Whether you’re pruning the roses in Epsom or potting plants in Peacehaven, today is all about enjoying the outdoors.
But as a medical-led clinic, we have a gentle reminder: While you’re busy tending to your garden, the sun is busy tending to your skin. Incidental UV exposure—the kind you get while gardening, walking the dog, or even sitting by a window—is a leading cause of premature ageing and skin damage. 🧬
Our Garden-Side SPF Tips:
Don't Forget the "Missed Spots": The back of the neck, the tops of the ears, and the backs of your hands are often the first places to show sun damage.
Broad-Spectrum is Key: Ensure your SPF protects against both UVA (Ageing) and UVB (Burning).
Reapply Every 2 Hours: If you're working up a sweat in the garden, your SPF needs a top-up.
Medical-Grade Matters: High-street SPFs aren't all created equal. We recommend medical-grade protection that doubles as skincare.
🛡️ Is your skin showing signs of past sun damage?
If years of gardening have left you with pigmentation or fine lines, our OBSERV Skin Analysis can help us see the extent of the damage beneath the surface and create a plan to restore your glow.
Enjoy the sunshine safely today! 🌷
