Summer seems a long, long time ago. I was all about protecting our skin from the sun during the warmer months but in the winter I tend not to bother. It's wrong, I should be protecting my skin all year round. Whilst UVB rays are responsible for causing burning and are often weaker during winter months, UVA rays are strong all year round. UVA rays can increase the risk of premature aging, the Skin Cancer Foundation states that more than 90% of the visible skin changes associated with ageing are caused by UVA rays!
Calypso sun care have recently launched a facial UV protection lotion which protects from both UVA and UVB rays.
The Calypso Sensitive Face and Neck Lotion SPF50 is specially formulated for sensitive skin which means children can use it and adults too. It's a lightweight and non greasy formula which can be applied before makeup which makes it super easy to include in our daily skincare routine.
The handy sized 50ml tube is perfect for taking on the go making topping up throughout the day a breeze.
Unlike many facial moisturisers which contact SPF, Calypso’s Sensitive Face and Neck Lotion actually protects you from UVA rays (responsible for ageing) which we are exposed to year round regardless of how sunny it is!
In the past we have tried the kids sun products from Calypso. They were so good that I went on to buy more for them. It is a brand that I know and trust so I was keen to try the Face and Neck Lotion. I have been using it for a couple of days and so far so good. It feels good on my skin and I really have no complaints. I am at an age now (just turned 40) where I really need to look after my skin and it feels good to know that I am doing all I can.
Calypso sun protection is available to buy in Morrisons, ASDA, Wilko, Home Bargains, B&M Bargains, Bodycare, TJ Hughes, Well Pharmacy, Semichem and independent pharmacies.
I was sent the Calypso Face and Neck Lotion free of charge in exchange for this blog post.
Never heard of this but sounds beneficial X #mmbc
ReplyDeleteIt is really good stuff x
DeleteI don't go out often now but I've always used a SPF of at least 30 no matter what the season. I have actually used Calyspo in the past.
ReplyDeleteI have never bothered unless it's in the summer until now. I am trying to make an effort with my skin. x
DeleteI have been meaning to try this, and my brother swears by the one that you only apply once a day. Great value #MMBC
ReplyDeleteIt really is a fab brand. x
DeleteYou had me at non-greasy. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteI never think to protect against the UVA rays in the winter. Good to be reminded that it's still important to do so. This sounds like a great product for using all year round.
ReplyDeleteIt is rubbish that we forget about the UVA rays in the winter. Eek! Thank you x
