I have quite a bit of sun damage on my face thanks to bad sun care practices when I was young. I’m not proud of it and I don’t like admitting it (as a beauty editor I am constantly promoting the use of the best spf moisturiser as an everyday must-have in your skincare routine) but there was a lot less known about the sun's power in the early 90s.
However, I am paying for it now and when I recently had my skin scanned by a Visia Skin Analysis system - a very smart imaging devices that looks at your skin's health and detects things unseen by the naked eye - it revealed that I had a lot of brown spots lurking underneath the surface.
I was told that in order to prevent further damage I had to start using a different facial sunscreen - one that tackles pigmentation whilst also protecting the skin. Dr Anita Sturnham, a GP with a special interest in Dermatology who has a Cosmetic Dermatology practice, recommended Heliocare° 360 Pigment Solution Fluid SPF 50+.
