☀️ WITH UV LEVELS RISING - HERE’S OUR TOP TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR SUNSCREEN PROVIDES YOU WITH THE BEST PROTECTION!

☀️ Opt for an SPF 30 or above to provide a high level of protection against the sun’s UVB (burning) rays.

☀️ Make sure your sunscreen is broad-spectrum - that means it provides protection against both UVB + UVA radiation. Look for the UVA symbol, this means that the sunscreen provides UVA protection at least a third of the SPF. Use a star rated product with a 4 or 5 star UVA rating for superior protection.

☀️ Make sure your sunscreen is in date! It typically expires three years after it is manufactured. If an expiry date is not displayed, look for an open jar symbol which will contain a number (i.e. 12M) that’s the number of months you can safely use it after opening.

☀️ Store your sunscreen in a cool, dry place! Sun protection products can expire sooner if they are left out in the sun or in a hot car because heat causes the ingredients to break down and lose efficacy.

☀️ Apply your sunscreen to all exposed skin liberally and evenly! A common mistake people make is not applying enough sunscreen. It should be applied generously to provide the required level of protection.

☀️ Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before going outdoors and another layer applied once out. Think of it like painting a wall, you always need at least 2 coats to provide adequate and even coverage!

☀️ Regardless of the instructions all sunscreens should be re-applied at least every 2 hours (more often if perspiring) and always straight after swimming!

☀️ Don’t be mislead by claims that SPF in cosmetic products such as moisturiser or foundation will provide the same protection as a ‘proper’ sunscreen. They Don’t!

☀️ Wear it daily, all-year-round! UVA can damage our skin even in the winter months.

☀️ Protecting children? Use an SPF 50+ sunscreen with five star UV protection specifically formulated for children or babies as these are gentler on their sensitive skin. Always make sure they have access to sunscreen for reapplication during school hours when UV is strongest.

The lovely Yvonne, a member of the Warwickshire Ladies Cycling Club, popped in for a bit of a massage this morning 💖

Oh 🤨 ! Today was a return to work for a Massage on a patio which was amazing and planning my return to full treatments from tomorrow ... I get home to this news ! So sorry treatments will remain limited to non facial only. Stay safe.
