Sunscreen: The Ultimate Anti-Ageing and Skin Protection Must-Have

While many of us have a particular affinity for our eye creams etc , it is sunscreen that should really be considered the cornerstone of our skincare routines. It’s the most important element of any good skincare routine to prevent sun damage and protect our delicate skins. We know that prolonged exposure to UV radiation is the single leading cause of premature skin ageing, so sunscreen is paramount in keeping the complexion youthful (and not to mention protecting us against dangerous skin cancers). Prevention is key, sun damage can so easily be avoided with the simple application of a broad-spectrum SPF. Here is an overview of everything you need to know about this humble anti-ageing product.

Eating for Skin Health

Our skin has the amazing ability to act as a shield that protects us from the external environment. This means that while our topical treatments can certainly yield results, it’s important to always nourish from within to provide the skin with the building blocks it needs for optimal health. As they say, you are what you eat – and this rings especially true when it comes to skin health. Personally, I follow an anti-inflammatory diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and lean protein. Below are some tips for eating your way to a healthy, glowing complexion.

Skin Care Ingredients

  Recognised as the gold standard in chemical exfoliation.   Commonly derived from sugar cane, glycolic acid is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). This potent ingredient effectively loosens and releases dead and dehydrated cells, increasing the rate of exfoliation on the surface of the skin. This exfoliation promotes cellular turnover, which helps minimise the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dull skin tone. The effectiveness of glycolic acid is determined by its free acid value - the active acid available to work on your skin. This potent ingredient is known for its ability to provide an even exfoliation to the skin by helping promote skin cell turnover for improvement in the look of fine lines, skin texture, tone, and radiance. Available in cleansers, serums, toners, or creams,

Skin and UV Damage

Not so long ago, people thought that a sunburn was necessary on the way to a good base tan. Unfortunately, the burn is never a good sign. What sun addicts didn’t know then was that we were setting our skin up for damage to its structural proteins and DNA. This in time invariable results in wrinkles, liver spots and cancers. No matter where your complexion falls on the Fitzpatrick Skin Type scale, ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun or tanning beds will damage your skin.

A Retinol Sandwich

A retinol sandwich simply entails layering retinol between two applications of a non-active moisturiser.  To do it, apply moisturiser to damp, cleansed skin. Next, use your retinol product as directed on the package, remember a small amount goes a long way, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyelids and corners of the mouth. Then complete your “sandwich” by adding another generous layer of moisturiser on top. This second layer of moisturiser can either be the same formula you used for the first or a thicker one, depending on how much hydration you need.

How to Avoid the January Blues

Start small. Break your goal into tinier steps over the course of the year. If weight loss is  your goal, it doesn’t have to be drastic. Try to eat more veggies during your first month and  gradually cut back on sweets throughout the next, suggests Gould. Be kind to yourself. If you didn’t achieve last year’s resolution or stray from the path this  time around, let it go. “We often contrive these stories (‘I’m never going to quit smoking!’)  that only add to our distress,” says Gould. “With practice, we can notice this self-critic, let go  of that negativity and pick our goals back up without the guilt or shame.” Ask for help. It is always easier to achieve your goals with the support of others. Recruit  your family or join a group.

The Importance of Regular Facials

Did you know that your skin is constantly renewing itself? Every month dead skin cells travel from the innermost layer of the epidermis to the surface of the skin in a process called keratinisation. These dead skin cells or corneocytes, still have a vital function in forming the skin barrier, which protects skin from aggressors such as pollution, germs and other irritants. As the cycle continues, they are naturally exfoliated by the skin over time. This prevents the build-up of too many dead cells (which would clog up the skin’s surface) and in turn stimulates new cells to grow.
