LeilaI don't know if any one caught the news on the radio recently but one of the headlines was that Skin Cancer is now the leading form of cancer in the UK for people aged 15 to 34!They think the reason for this scary statistic is due to the competition between people to get a better tan than their friends!As we all know, your sun care is NOT your skincare and your skincare is NOT your sun care!
In other words, you should still be using your normal treatment creams and serums under your SPF protection to ensure the best possible care for your skin.And, if someone really wants to get 'the best tan', then they should be using Melanin Pre-Cursor in the first instance as preparation is essential to ensure the skin is ready to protect itself. Melanin Precursor stimulates the melanin production in the skin and then migrates it to the skin’s surface prior to exposure. This preparation ensures the skin tans more easily, is less likely to burn and that the tan is deep and even. It has also been reported to prevent the sweat glands from blocking which leads to the discomfort of prickly heat!Surely all tanaholics should be snapping this fantastic product up!
Once prepared, the skin should be protected.
The Collin SPF6 – Protecting Veil is good for darker skins giving protection from UVA and UVB rays whilst keeping the skin supple and hydrated. For fairer skins, the SPF15 – Progressive Tanning Care gives a water resistant armour type protection from UVA and UVB rays. Face and delicate places need our Multi Protection SPF30. This will also prevent pigmentation marks and other sun associated skin problems. Remember, this is sun care, so you need to keep up with your usual cleansing, serum, and cream routine. (Remember to cleanse thoroughly to remove all traces of the SPF's) For people who invest money and time regularly into their skin, the option of using a lesser quality product whilst their skin is most vulnerable should not be an option.
Do not be tempted to buy cheap supermarket brands!! and make sure that you apply enough cream to achieve full SPF cover, most people use far to little and therefore still burn!
Repair the skin – After sun's come in many guises. The aim of the product is to repair and hydrate the skin. For the body, Collin recommends the Beauty Hydrating Fluid. A light, non-sticky lotion, which is easily absorbed and increases hydration by up to 35% in 3 hours. For faces and areas that may be suffering from over-exposure, try our Native Collagen Gel. 10% Native Marine Collagen means the skin’s regeneration process will be stimulated to repair the damage. Remember, collagen is still used in burns units of hospitals for that very reason. This gel can be used as a mask and then removed or slept in all night. Alternatively, try the Water Radiance Mask – rehydrates by up to 49%. Ideal for quenching even the thirstiest of sun-kissed skin. And remember - TAN SAFLEY!
