THE SUN spring, here comes ...
the sun can open hair cuticles causing the hair to dry, increasing split ends and also colour can fade quite rapidly. Always apply sun cream to any exposed partings and around the hairline or tops of the ears.” False: Sunbeds will prep your skin ready for a holiday. “No, no and no again!” s ay s Paul Banwell, consultant plastic & cosmetic surgeon. “The misconception about developing a base tan on a sunbed as a way of extra protection before a sunshine holiday is a dangerous myth that must be dispelled. Getting some natural sun is fine as long as it is in moderation – we need it for vitamin D and also psychologically it’s b e n e f i c i a l .” Tr u e : You need to protect your face, even on cloudy days. “UV protection of SPF30 or higher needs to be worn, even on dull d ay s ,” says FAB dermatologist Dr Buka. “As sun exposure becomes more intense, you’ll also want to make sure your products contain antioxidants to scavenge free radicals caused by sun exposure.” Fa l s e : People with lots of moles should
stay out of the sun. “No, only a small number of melanomas arise from a pre-existing mole,” says Dr Sandeep H. Cliff, consultant dermatologist. “Also, it is accepted that moles are more common in fair-skinned people and since they are more prone to skin cancer these people should be careful and be sure to cover up with sun screen when they are exposed to limit the r i s k s .” True: A healthy diet can boost levels of sun protection. “Plants protect themselves from sun damage with pigments such as lutein and anthocyanadins,” reveals Dr Samantha Christie, nutritionist and ambassador of Colladeen Visage. When these are present in high quantities in our diet we see a complex effect on skin chemistry. A natural SPF is achieved as well as an ability to reverse pre-existing sun damage but an SPF is still always required.”
