Sun Awareness Week: The Importance of SPF in Skincare

This week is Sun Awareness Week!

Sun Awareness Week was set up by the British Association of Dermatologists to raise awareness and help prevent skin cancer. 

We already know that wearing some form of sun protection on a daily basis is super important. Including SPF in your daily skincare routine is essential to protect your skin even against minimal sun exposure.

The sun emits UV rays known as UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays have shorter wavelengths and penetrate the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) whereas UVA rays have a longer wavelength and reach deeper into the skin. Overexposure to these UV rays can cause sunburn, premature ageing, and in extreme cases – skin cancer.

All of our daily moisturisers contain SPF 30 to protect your skin from these harmful UV rays. Find the perfect daily moisturiser to suit your skin type below.
