Protect Your Skin In The Sunshine

We thought we’d take the time to give you lovely Aqua customers some facts and tips on how to stay protected during the summer months.

We’re sure that you know how harmful the UV rays are to the skin but we’d like to share some useful facts with you, so that you can still get that Vitamin D that we all thrive for and enjoy the sunshine at the same time as staying safe. If you are basking in the sun or even just outside for the day, be sure to reapply your sunscreen at least once, SPF30 to stay protected.

Although it only takes a few minutes for your skin to burn, effects of sunburn can last a lifetime. Its so important to wear SPF even if you’re not spending the day outside.

Ever wondered what the difference was between the stereotypical thick white gloopy sunscreen and pharmaceutically graded sunscreen? Well, high street sunscreen typically clogs the pores and often has a high amount of chemicals in which can sensitise the skin. Also, they are generally watered down, which means you’d need a golf ball amount, just for your face, to actually protect your skin. So of course, it makes sense to opt for the scientifically backed, pharmaceutically graded sunscreens. These specific sunscreens contain advanced technologies and powerful ingredients to give adequate protection and only a pea-sized amount is needed, they also are formulated to suit your skin type.
