Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland with over 11,000 new cases diagnosed in 2015. The National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) expects this number to double by 2040.
Ireland has the 14th highest rate of skin cancer in the world. With the increasing use of tanning beds and careless sun exposure in the search of that hint of color, i think its very important to talk more about sun protection. Celtic skin rarely tans, it usually just burns. This can link in coming years to melanoma or wrinkly, pigmented skin if you are lucky. Sun damage takes up to seven years to show up on the skin. The actions that you take now can lead up to a healthier future you.
Five New Avene Expert Sun Care Products
This spring, Eau Thermale Avene has updated their already award winning extensive sun care portfolio with five new additions to the range. The unique formula contains a powerful antioxidant Pre-Tocopheril, which is a vitamin E precursor. Alongside the famous Avene Thermal Spa Water, this will protect the skin cells from free radicals. The range is specifically formulated for all skin types, even the most sensitive ones. All products are water resistant. Hypoallergenic and non comedogenic.
Avene B-Protect 50 (€17)
A long lasting 3 in 1 facial skin protector anti-UV, anti-pollution and skin enhancing. Probably one of my favorite products from the new range. I use it as a primer underneath my foundation for a daily protection. The formula contains pigment capsules that burst when massaged onto the skin. This creates a light tint to the skin, providing a nude radiant finish. It can be worn by itself or underneath makeup.
Avene Sport Fluid SPF 50 (€22)
Ideal for people who play sports and in particular, those with sensitive skin. Ultra light, long lasting protection. Water and sweat resistant. I would highly recommend getting it for the men in our lives who are very outdoorsy and maybe experience balding on their scalp. It creates the perfect barrier against sun burn and pigmentation. Oil free. Non sticky formula, breathable and very compact to bring along.
Avene Very High Protection Lotion for Children SPF 50+ (€20.50)
There is no need to apply anything less than a SPF 50 on a child. The most sun damage happens in our childhood due to incidental exposure. The formula is fragrance free, long lasting and water resistant. Non sticky, suitable for the sensitive, light and very fair skin.
Avene Very High Protection Spray 30+ (€22)
Long lasting protection for sensitive and very fair skin. Water resistant spray that can be used on the face and body. Ideal for beach days with high levels of sunlight.
Avene Very High Protection Spray 50+ (€23.50)
Broad spectrum UV protection, keeping the skin safe from UVA and UVB. Hydrating, non drying formula that leaves the skin soft and moisturized for up to 6 hours.
