Not sure where to start? In this article, we will include summer must-haves that you need to include in your daily skincare system to guarantee that you will get your summer glow on. So, there is no need for a sunshine-induced panic.
Sun defence
It is important to protect your skin from the sun 365 days a year, but if it has not been on your radar, then now is a good time to start whilst you enjoy our beautiful sunny days. The sun is the number one accelerator of aging. We are affected by UV rays even if we can’t feel it.
Cellular Sun Shield SPF50+ PA++++ offers broad-spectrum protection with the highest-grade sunscreen filters available. With the latest scientific research and intelligent SPF formulation, it also identifies and repairs damage to the skin, strengthens the skin’s immune system and supports natural skin pigmentation.
What is PA++++
SPF indicates the level of protection from UVB rays while PA indicates the level of protection from UVA rays. UVA rays are longer and deeper penetrating, causing damage to the deeper dermal layers, collagen and elastin fibres. The appearance of wrinkles, sagging and a leathery appearance develops.
This Japanese measurement ranking, which is now widely used, is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure. Protective grade of sunscreen is often levelled as PA+, PA++, PA+++, PA++++ with the more plus signs the more protection from UVA rays. PA++++ is the highest grade of UVA protection currently available.
Glow from within
The market of wellness from within is gaining momentum within the industry as younger clients are concerned with delaying the aging process. This generation believes that beauty starts from beneath the surface.
With Collagen Intravital Plus Nutritional Supplement; Dr Schulte’s research into orthomolecular therapy for skin led him to develop a nutritional supplement to provide additional support for the skin from within. The formulation combines QMS’ unique collagen, multifunctional antioxidants and highly effective multi-vitamin complexes. Anyone who wants to improve the wellbeing of their skin can benefit.
