Thank goodness these days there are many options to choose from to protect yourself from the harmful rays including creams, lotions, spray on, roll on, sticks and lip balms. Not forgetting hair products, clothing, hats and makeup.
UVA vs UVB
It’s important when choosing your sun protection that you opt for broad spectrum cover. This protects you against UVA and UVB rays. We all know that sun can cause burning and that’s where the “B” comes into it. But the “A” means ageing and I feel that’s the part we don’t think about enough.UVA rays penetrate deeper down to the hypodermis skin layer, whilst UVB affects the top layer, the epidermis, and we all know what that damage looks like- sunburn, dryness, peeling and pigmentation.
UVA damage, or photoaging, can take longer to appear but it’s cumulative. Lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots, rough and dry texture are all signs of UVA damage.
UVA can affect us everyday of the year and can even penetrate through glass.
However both UVA and UVB can cause skin cancer.
Do you know the difference between Mineral and Chemical Sun Protection?
I have been searching for a sunscreen for myself and my clients for awhile now and I’ve finally found one that I can honestly say I wear everyday. I haven’t had any bad reactions from any of the products I have been trialing. It’s comfortable to wear, great under makeup, long lasting protection and broad spectrum.

TiZO= Titanium and Zinc Oxide
Both of these ingredients are Broad Spectrum, meaning they will protect you against both UVA and UVB rays.
Zinc oxide has been used topically for centuries as a skin protectant and wound healing agent. It is unique in its ability to protect from long and short UVA rays and UVB rays by itself. Titanium Oxide is also gentle on the skin so these ingredients are great for sensitive skin.
TiZO also contains antioxidants C and E. Antioxidants are molecules that help neutralize free radicals and protects skin by helping to block damaging reactions to skin cells. The ideal sunscreen should contain antioxidants. They reduce the damaging effects of Reactive Oxygen Species.
These are among just a few of their exceptional ingredients they have used to protect your skin from skin cancer, hyperpigmentation and ageing.
