Get your glow back - The Best Treatments to revive & repair summer ravaged skin


Once your summer glow begins to fade, you will probably start to notice some signs of sun damage like dark spots and uneven skin tone. I am afraid you cannot undo the damage caused by UV rays, but you can help to minimise the appearance of sun damage on the skin's surface.





Andrea has listed some of her favourites here......









1/ Glycolic Cleanser





You need to remove those discoloured skin cells and chemical exfoliation is a great way to do that.





Glycolic acid is one of the most powerful and effective exfoliating ingredients out there to achieve this. One of my favourites is Jan Marini Bioglycolic Cleanser.









2/ Look to Antioxidants for help:





Antioxidants protect the skin against free radicals and helps reverse existing sun damage.





SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is a mix of PhloretinVitamin C and Ferulic Acid, which help repair and prevent accumulated damage.





A must-have product for preventing & reversing sun damage.









3/ Target the Brown spots:





To help fade the dark spots, use a pigment lightening product.





Dermaceutic Yellow Cream combines effective brighteners Kojic acid, Arbutin & liquorice to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and prevent further pigmentation from forming. Also contains glycolic acid & salicylic acid to speed up exfoliation and promote skin renewal for a brighter, more radiant complexion.









4/Boost & enhance your regime with Microdermabrasion.





DermaTx Brighten microdermabrasion resurfaces skin texture gently but effectively, fades discolouration, evens skin tones, and improves the appearance of sun damage, fine lines & wrinkles.





A highly effective ‘at home’ exfoliating treatment for impressive salon-like results.









Finally, don't forget your sunscreen still. Make sure you apply sunscreen every day, even after summer ends!
