How to Repair Sun Damage In Real Time

When you’re having fun in the sun, it’s all too easy to forgo your skincare and leave the repair process for another day. But when it comes to sun damage, the smart move is to stop it in its tracks - even while the sun’s still out.

Here’s the science behind sun damage - and the four easy things you can do right now to blitz sun damage as it happens.

Step 1: Start the day with Vitamin C

Think of Superdose Vitamin C Body Lotion as your ‘pre-emptive strike’. Boosted with Tranexamic Acid which, along with 2% Vitamin C, helps to brighten and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.

Use daily in the summer (for the fastest brightening effects), or two to three times weekly to help prevent signs of ageing.

Step 2: Load up on Vitamin B

Your neck and décolletage are super-prone to sun damage: the skin is delicate, and often exposed to UV rays.

Studies have shown that Niacinamide can be helpful in lightening dark spots, especially in concentrations of 5% or more - which is why you’ll find 5% in our superb, Swiss-made Uber Youth Neck & Chest Super Lift Serum-Spray. Spritz the powerhouse formula onto clean skin on your neck and chest morning and/or evening. 

Step 3: By Night - Apply Retinol

At night is when you can really start to repair any damage that’s happening beneath the surface. Smooth on Youthbomb™ Double-Retinol™ (5%) Serum (with AHAs & Niacinamide) for collagen support and to help even skin tone, visibly reduce wrinkles, and enhance firmness.

Start twice a week and build up slowly, month by month.

Step 4: Apply SPF on a Loop

UV radiation stimulates the production of melanin to protect the deeper layers of the skin from damage, as well as causing inflammation which can exacerbate hyperpigmentation. The sunscreen everybody’s loving right now?

Our Traceless Mineral SPF 30, with 100% natural Micronised Zinc Oxide as a UVA/UVB filter. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply throughout the day. Leaves your skin soft, supple and glowy.
