In terms of anti-aging, the importance of sun care is far too significant to overlook as a major cause of skin aging is subtle, continuous sun damage.

Professor Griffiths a dermatologist of Manchester University said “The majority of anti-aging skin products are actually aimed at the effects of sun exposure, not how our body naturally ages. If I had to pick just one product it would be suncream.” Professor Griffiths also said that some of the more visible signs of aging such as deep set wrinkles would not occur until our eighties were it not for sun damage.

Applying sun care creams and oils doesn’t only protect the skin from burning and/or cancer, but it also helps with other problems too. For lighter skin, sun care enables a more even tan and can prevent unwanted sun-freckles. For darker skin, sun care is a fantastic preventative measure for hyperpigmentation and blemish scarring.

Simply apply your sun cream ten or so minutes after applying your favourite moisturiser. Take care to cleanse, tone and moisturise each day and night to avoid clogged pores.

So, whether you’re going abroad or enjoying your sunshine in the UK, be sure to protect yourself and your family with Caribbean Blue’s natural sun care range.
