Summertime means much more sunlight which is a blessing for our lifestyle but can play havoc with our skin.

Pigmentation and sun damage will be more noticeable on the skin over the summer. Researchers have confirmed that sun damage is the primary cause of many skin problems, including dark spots, dry skin, sagging, uneven skin tone, sunburn, wrinkles,

80% of premature aging.

Another light we need to be conscious of is the blue light that our skin is unprotected from daily – the light from our cell phones, tablets, computers, TVs, LEDs and fluorescent lights.

If you want to lighten and or prevent pigmentation & dark spots on the skin, now is the time before your skin becomes exposed to more light.

4 steps your skin needs to prevent and heal sun-damaged skin:

1. Treating skin inflammations and having the skin in a healing state- e.g, rashes, burning/stinging, redness, blisters or pimples, raw or cracked areas of skin.
2. Moisturising daily using Antioxidant rich moisturisers
3. Using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect
4. Laser or chemical peel to remove surface pigmentation
