Sun Damage & Protection

Immediate Answer: Reapply SPF every 1-2 hours (every hour if sweating/swimming). Wear sun-protective clothing and hats. Use SPF lip balm. Seek shade during peak sun (10am-4pm). Combine these strategies for...

Immediate Answer: Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 uses chemical UV filters. These absorb UV radiation and release the energy as heat—integrating into the skin's surface rather than sitting on top...

Immediate Answer: Three steps: (1) Stop new damage with Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 daily, (2) Fade pigmentation with Anti-Pigmentation Programme, (3) Support collagen with Anti-Ageing Programme. Timeline: 8-16 weeks...

Immediate Answer: Yes, it contains bio-retinol—a plant-derived retinol alternative from Bidens Pilosa. Unlike synthetic retinol, bio-retinol does not increase photosensitivity, which makes it specifically suitable for daytime use. The Science:...

Immediate Answer: Sun damage (photoageing) is cumulative skin ageing from UV exposure. It manifests as spots, wrinkles, texture changes, and loss of firmness. It's reversible with consistent sun protection and...

Immediate Answer: Yes. Sun damage (excessive UV exposure) is associated with increased skin cancer risk—melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Using SPF consistently reduces this risk substantially. The...

Immediate Answer: Yes. The SPF 50 level in Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 has been tested and verified by an independent third-party laboratory—it's not a self-declared figure. This matters because...

Immediate Answer: Take our Sun Damage Assessment to evaluate your skin's condition. Visual signs include sun spots, rough texture, loss of firmness, visible wrinkles, and uneven tone—typically appearing on face,...

Immediate Answer: These areas age fastest because people often forget to apply SPF there. Extend your sun protection and treatment programmes to hands, neck, and chest for comprehensive anti-ageing results....

Immediate Answer: Partially. Skin cells repair themselves once UV exposure stops, and targeted products accelerate this repair. Severe structural damage (deep wrinkles, significant collagen loss) is harder to reverse than...

Immediate Answer: Antioxidants from foods (vitamins C, E, selenium) and healthy fats support skin repair and sun protection. While not a replacement for SPF, nutritional support amplifies topical treatment results....

Immediate Answer: UVB causes surface burns and damage. UVA penetrates deeper, damaging collagen and elastin, causing ageing. Both require SPF protection. "Broad spectrum" SPF protects against both. The Science: UVB...

Immediate Answer: Most sunscreens only protect. Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 protects AND actively repairs—it combines broad-spectrum SPF 50 with bio-retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. You're not just...

Immediate Answer: Yes, if you're near windows (UVA penetrates glass). If you're in an interior office far from windows, daily SPF matters less, but it's still a good habit. The...

Immediate Answer: Yes. It's formulated as a full moisturiser with SPF protection built in—not an SPF product with moisturising as an afterthought. The hyaluronic acid and argan oil provide genuine...

Immediate Answer: SPF 50 is standard and sufficient. SPF below 30 doesn't provide reliable protection—SPF 30 is the minimum. What matters most is applying sunscreen consistently and in sufficient quantity,...

Immediate Answer: No. The formula absorbs into the skin with a velvety finish—no white cast, no greasy residue. It works well on all skin tones, from light to dark. The...

Immediate Answer: Mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) is generally gentler for sensitive skin. Avoid chemical sunscreens with oxybenzone or octinoxate if you're reactive. Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 is...

Immediate Answer: For optimal protection during prolonged outdoor exposure, reapply every 2 hours. For typical indoor days with brief outdoor moments (commuting, lunch breaks), your morning application provides meaningful protection...

Immediate Answer: 1/4 teaspoon for face (about the size of your fingertip from the tip of your finger to the first knuckle). Most people under-apply, reducing SPF effectiveness significantly. The...

Immediate Answer: Yes—and it actually works well as a makeup base. The velvety finish creates a smooth surface for foundation, concealer, and powder. Apply the daycream, wait 2-3 minutes for...

Immediate Answer: No. Makeup with SPF provides some protection, but coverage can be uneven as you often can't apply makeup thickly enough to achieve the stated SPF. The Science: Makeup...

Immediate Answer: Yes. Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The ingredients are applied topically and are not absorbed into the bloodstream in meaningful...
