Summertime - My favourite time of year. Having lived in Spain for a few years I really do miss the warm weather!
Don’t forget to protect your skin, as sun damage is the main cause of premature ageing.

We have a great selection of advanced sunscreen ranges.
One of our most popular ranges, Heliocare has sun protection as high as spf90.
Skinceuticals has just brought out two new sunscreens – Ultra facial defence spf50 & Advanced sun defence spf30
Priori CoffeeBerry range do Natural Daily Protection SPF 25 - using the most potent antioxidants to fight free radicals and the causes of skin ageing.

What's new?


Skinceuticals Intense line defence product has been replaced by the more efficacious Retexturing Activator (exfoliation and hydration), to activate the skin’s regeneration response, visibly diminishing surface lines and transforming the skin’s fabric into a smoother, softer texture.

Skinceuticals Face Balm – rich balm with triple-action corrective technology for extremely, dry and ageing skin.

Revitalash has brought out the RevitaBrow - helps revitalize eyebrows so they look thicker and fuller.
So if you have sparse, damaged eyebrows from years of over-tweezing and waxing or simply as part of the ageing process, it's a great product.

LA Science Volumising Lash Treatment - is a potent lash conditioner with an active triple peptide complex to promote healthy hair, enhance lash growth and help to delay lash loss.

Summer safety


Everyone looks forward to summer and outdoor activities. However, you must, while enjoying the outdoors, take good care of your skin.
Taking care in the sun will not only help to protect you from skin cancer but will prevent the outward signs of ageing.

Suncare tips:

- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, even when the sun is not out.
Many sunscreens will say they offer “full-spectrum” protection. However, the ingredients to look for are octinoxate, oxybenzone, octisalate, octocrylene and octyl methoxycinnamate that absorbs the UV radiation, as well as physical blockers such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide that reflect or scatter UVB and UVA rays rather than let them pass through the skin. The best ones to buy need to contain both ingredients to deflect & absorb, and to eliminate as many rays as possible.

- Sunscreens wear off the skin with normal usage, so re-apply at least every 2/3 hours and after swimming, exercise, heavy perspiration and towel drying.

- Sunscreen should be applied at least 30 minutes before going out into the sun

- Cover up between 11 am – 3 pm when the sun is at its strongest

- Wear clothes that will protect you in the sun, tightly woven fabric and a sun hat covering the neck, ears and back of the neck.

- Wear sunglasses to protect the skin around the eyes
