The sun makes us feel good, and there's nothing better than being outside during the summer months whether it's participating in your favourite hobby, walking the dog, pottering in the garden or going on holiday. Good weather and the sunshine make us feel good.

However, ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can cause damage to our skin and it is vital to do everything we can to avoid getting burnt - over a period of time sunburn damage will build up and may lead to skin cancer. It is essential, therefore, to use a suitable sunscreen with an SPF15 or above.

Sunscreen labelling changed in the UK in 2008, following new EU recommendations. We have a fantastic Sunscreen and Sun Safety Fact Sheet created by the British Association of Dermatologists to help you choose the right product for you.

At Pure and Gentle SkinCare we have a range of sunscreens for both adults and children, together with moisturisers to use after you have been in the sun. We have provided as much information about each product as possible, but if you have any specific questions about any of the sun care products, email us and we will try to answer these.
