Recycling this post I made last year, because I can’t stress this enough!!! Why is daily use of SPF so important?

This man is a prime example of the damaging effects of UVA (and UVB) rays. He was a trucker for 28 years and as you can see, the side of his face that was by the window is severely photo damaged vs the side that wasn’t as exposed. He is now on a daily plan of SPF protection, vitamin A and regular skin cancer screening checks with his doctor.

Regardless of the weather, UVA rays are present all year around, and you are even exposed if you are positioned near a window, sat at a desk in front of a screen and out for a walk in the clouds.

Not only is SPF important in photo-ageing prevention, but it is also vital in skin cancer prevention . SPF is also a key factor in the the protection of your active vitamin storage within your skin (eg vitamin A and vitamin C).

I work with a variety of mineral based sun protection creams so we are bound to find one that works for you that you are excited to use every single day!

‼ Melanoma begins in melanocytes – (the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colours the skin, hair and eyes) and tans the skin when it is exposed to UV radiation as a form of DEFENCE. Melanocytes also form moles, where melanoma often, but not always develops.

These cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (most commonly caused by over-exposure to UV radiation - 86%) trigger mutations that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumours.

As with all skin cancers, melanoma can often be seen on the skin as an abnormal lesion, making it easier to detect in its early stages. But, if left undetected, melanoma can spread to distant sites or organs.

Once melanoma has spread to other parts of the body it is referred to as ‘metastatic melanoma’ at this stage it becomes difficult to treat and prognosis can be poor, so early detection, diagnosis and treatment is vital.

Melanoma often arises from otherwise normal appearing skin (about 75% which can appear as a small dark, almost black new mole) or from within a mole or freckle, which starts to grow larger and change in appearance.

Always check your skin once a month for the early warning signs and if you notice anything new, unusual or changing - seek immediate advice from your GP or dermatologist.

Understanding the Difference Between HYPOCHLOROUS (HYPO21) and HYPOCHLORITE (OTHER HOCl PRODUCTS)

Science behind our exceptional product, HYPO21, and why it stands out in comparison to other hypochlorous-based solutions.
1. Unveiling the Difference: Hypochlorite vs. Hypochlorous (HOCl):
Hypochlorite - The Bleach for Cleaning:
Hypochlorite is commonly known as a bleach, primarily used for cleaning purposes. While effective in disinfecting surfaces, its chemical nature may pose challenges when applied to the delicate balance of our skin.Both HOCl and hypochlorite are effective at killing bacteria, but chemically speaking – hypochlorous is actually more effective. In fact, it is suggested that Pure HOCl is 150 to 300 times more effective than sodium hypochlorite.
Hypochlorous - Nature’s Skin Guardian:
Hypochlorous, however, is a natural and gentle solution produced by our immune system. It plays a vital role in skin health, helping to combat harmful microorganisms without compromising the skin’s natural defenses.

2. Why Choose HYPO21 for Your Skin:
Proven Effectiveness: HYPO21 has been rigorously tested and proven to be more effective than any other Hypochlorous-based products. Its unique formulation ensures optimal skin care benefits while maintaining superior efficacy.
Skin Wellness: HYPO21 is specifically designed with your skin’s wellness in mind. It promotes a healthy skin microbiome, protecting against irritations and maintaining a balanced and radiant complexion.
Gentle and Non-Toxic: HYPO21 is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for all skin types. It is non-toxic and free from harsh chemicals, ensuring a soothing and calming experience with each use.
3. The HYPO21 Advantage:
· MHRA Registered (MHRA)
· European Registered (AEMPS)
· Medical Device Status (MD)
· European CE Marked (CE)
· British UKCA Marked (UKCA)
· Dermatologist-Approved

An industry first, our Retinol+ Emulsion contains a powerful blend of ingredients that not only enhance the strength, health, and appearance of the skin but also combat dehydration, free radicals, and radiation.⁠

It’s truly one of its kind 💙⁠

Some basic tips on how to protect your skin this winter

We tend to lose more ceramides in our skin this time of year which results in increased trans-epidermal water loss. Because of this, we often see more retinoid reactions, dry patches, eczema and rosecea and even acne flare ups, so doing these small things can help minimise how your skin reacts.

And don’t forget to keep your water intake up as you’re increasing your hot drink intake!

Most important of course is to book in a review with your skin professional to discuss how best to tailor any tweaks to your routine to keep the glow going, and don’t skip your in-clinic treatments! Your skin needs it now more than ever!

For your own skin guideline book CONSULTATION FOLLOW UP with us and we can help you maximise your skin health this winter

The power of Vitamin C in the correct formulation for the skin type!

Our lovely client has Rosecea and is already using our medical grade vitamin A products, but we decided to add in Pro Heal Advance + from a few months ago to tackle the redness and WOW we were blown away at the result! (This is just under 3 months apart)

What does vitamin C do?

🍃Brightening
🍃Stimulates Collagen Production
🍃Lightening
🍃Colour correction
🍃Photo-protective
🍃Reduces redness and inflammation
🍃Improves capillary function
To name a few…

However it is vital you have an in-depth consultation with a skin care specialist who will choose the correct form of vitamin C for your skin type.

Why?

Vitamin C in the form of L-Ascorbic acid is the most bio-available form of vitamin C that is best accepted by our skin, however it can be irritating for certain skin types and is very unstable.

have managed to create a micro encapsulated form of L-ascorbic acid that is stable, and comforting for reactive skin types!

This particular serum is suitable for skin types such as acne, rosecea, eczema and even patients undergoing chemo/radiotherapy!!
