Inflammatory Skin and the Importance of Sun Protection

Everybody needs to protect their skin from the sun but if you're struggling to control certain skin conditions like rosacea, pigmentation & acne, it is particularly important to find the right sun protection product.

 

Rosacea & UV Exposure

Sun exposure is named as a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups, so using SPF is a must. Choose a mineral sunscreen instead of chemical sunscreens to avoid any chemicals that may irritate your skin.
