Sunshine and Sunscreen – the must have SPF skincare products

The sunshine is bringing with it a lovely dose of the feel-good factor, which I’m sure we can all agree is much needed after such challenging times. As some restrictions are lifted, we are able to rekindle relationships and friendships, perhaps with some lovely walks, or catching up in the garden with BBQs or even trips to the sea side!  Do remember whilst enjoying sunshine and simple pleasures once again, it’s extremely important not to neglect your skin health. At the Tanja Phillips Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we recommend SPF skincare products to help give your skin the protection it needs, especially in the sun.

Let’s talk statistics

According to figures released by Cancer Research UK in August 2020, the rate of skin cancer deaths has risen dramatically in the UK by up to 150% since the 1970’s. What’s more worrying is that almost 86% of those recorded deaths were caused by overexposure to the sun/sun beds and therefore could have been prevented. To read the full article, click here.

Championing sun safety

The Dr Tanja Phillips Medical Aesthetic Clinic team are advocates for sun safety and promote the use of broad spectrum of SPF skincare products to all patients. The daily application of sunscreen will not only protect your skin’s health from deteriorating, but will help fight premature skin ageing too. SPF should be an essential part of everyone’s skincare routine all year round.
