24th July 2019 ~ Summer Sun means being SunSmart!

Being a creature of habit I religiously cleanse, tone and moisture twice daily. This has been ingrained into me by my mother who always says those 5 minutes day and night will stand you in good stead for the future ageing of your skin.

So having adopted this regime I top it up with monthly facials with my friend of 20 years and beautician @Hayleylloydwilkins.

With the warm weather enticing us outside I asked her what suggestions she had for keeping my skin healthy, soft and looking its best.

Hayley’s Top 3 SunSmart tips for optimum skin health and safety. It’s all in the preparation!

(1) Hydrate from the inside out ~ up your consumption of water (upgrade it by adding fresh fruit.) Use a few drops of a hydrating complex that consists of Hyaluronic Acid. This maintains the moisture in your skin. I drank only water for 10 days, the transformation in my skin was astounding. Gone were the dark circles, crows feet around eyes reduced and brighter all over skin.

(2) Build a defence against pigmentation by using a serum that combats and helps prevent the pigmentation reaction. Which is stimulated by UVA rays. Use at night and let it work while you sleep!

(3) Protect your skin from the sun and it’s rays with a minimum of SPF 30. UVA damages the skin as it penetrates deep into the skin at a cellular level. It contributes to ageing the skin and triggering skin cancer. UVB effects more the surface of the skin causing redness, dryness, dehydration and burning. I use Dermalogica Pure Light Moisturiser, it has a SPF 50 and is light and non greasy when goes on. Perfect for day wear and protects all day long.

SkinSmart tip ~ take a good quality vitamin supplement that contains Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid. To support a healthy, plump, firm and radiant skin.

Paws For Thought

With these hot days I need cooling down, so my mummy soaks a beach towel in cold water and puts it on the ground for me to lie on, certainly feels good!
