PREPARE FOR SUMMER
Before heading off on holiday or stepping into the garden for some much needed vitamin D, make sure you have the right products to protect your skin and hair so that you can relax and enjoy yourself in the sun…
MOISTURISE YOUR FACE AND BODY
Oil glands lose their power as we age, but daily moisturising will keep your skin hydrated and refreshed. Ensure that your summer day cream has a sun protection factor – at least SPF30 is recommended for good defence.
Kalme Undercoat
Ideal for sensitive skin prone to redness, it can also be used as a daily moisturiser for the face or as an ‘undercoat’ before sun creams to help de-sensitise skin.

SUN PROTECTION
UV radiation causes damage to the skin, resulting in prickly heat, painful sunburn and in some cases, skin cancer. Sun creams block ultraviolet radiation from being absorbed by the skin, like a mirror to reflect UV light away.
