When the sun comes out to play, so do we. Yes, this means being out in the garden, family BBQs and sunny strolls but it also means we need to take extra caution against sun damage. The best way? Find a broad-spectrum sunscreen that you’ll actually apply (and reapply) every day.
May
is Melanoma Awareness month, which was created to save lives by educating the public
about skin cancer. Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer with
over 1,000 cases of melanoma being diagnosed in Ireland each year. This is why
its so important to wear SPF every day. Yes, even in Ireland! To make applying
your SPF that little bit easier, IMAGE Skincare are here to help you choose the
one that suits your skin best.
Choosing the Best Face Sunscreen
Because it minimizes the visible effects of environmental damage, sunscreen is considered the #1 anti-aging strategy by most skincare experts. Most people find it difficult to commit to a sunscreen regimen—especially on their face—because of its greasy feel and chalky look. So how do you find the best sunscreen for face AND body?IMAGE Skincare’s sunscreen formulas glide on silky-soft, apply clear upon massage, and feel like a second skin. Each one shields from both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays and contains complementary “Booster Ingredients” to enhance and reinforce the overall effectiveness of the formula. Here’s how to find the one that best fits your preferences.
