    • 90% of photoaging - lines, wrinkles and brown spots - are caused by UV rays
    • Tanned skin is damaged skin. Delicate, freckly Type I and Type II Irish skin is at highest risk of damage
    • Cosmetic treatments can help improve skin appearance, but cannot repair sun damage
    • Tanning beds also cause your skin to age prematurely, making it look coarse, leathery and wrinkled
    • A high SPF sunscreen – at least 30 or higher, like Elave Sun SPF50+ – offers the best protection
    • Understand SPF. If you usually burn in, say, 10 minutes without sunscreen, Factor 30 will give you 10 x 30 minutes protection
    • Use a ‘broad spectrum’ sunscreen to protect against deeper, ageing dermal damage as well as sunburn
    • Wear sunscreen or a moisturiser containing SPF, like Elave Daily Skin Defence SPF45, all year round
    • Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before you go out, to let it sink into your skin.  A pea-sized dollop for your face; a shot glass full for your body.
    • Use a sunscreen, like Elave Sun SPF30, which is kind to delicate skin and will help you get a glow, not a rash!
    • Oily sunscreens can trigger sensitive skin or block pores – look for one which is non-comedogenic (non-oily)
    • Avoid the ‘ghost’ look with sunscreen containing invisible zinc. Zinc is known for its healing, rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory properties
    • There is no such thing as a ‘waterproof’ sunscreen – but do look for one that is ‘water resistant’
    • SPF makeup and SPF face misters do not offer adequate protection against sun damage. You must also use a sunscreen
    • Aftersun moisturisers like Elave Aftersuncontain soothing botanicals and
      antioxidant vitamins B, C and E to protect against damage by free radicals
    • Blue light from your laptop or mobile phone can also cause photoaging, so sunscreen in front of the screen is also essential

    Manuka Honey UMF 10+

    Manuka honey is a type of honey native to New Zealand which is valued for its host of healing properties. It is produced by bees which pollinate the flowers of the Manuka bush. Manuka’s antibacterial and bacterial resistant properties, attributed to an active ingredient called methylglyoxal, set it apart from other honeys. This means that bacteria should not be able to build up a tolerance to its antibacterial effects.

    Men’s skin looks 15 years younger than women’s, so why waste nature’s gift? It’s never too early, or late, for anyone to establish a daily skincare routine

    Skincare is booming. Guys are realising it is never too early, or late, to give their skin the attention it needs.
