Our skin is our body’s first line of defence against weather, pollution, solar radiation, and so much else that life throws at us. What if protection against all this could be found in one product, combining advanced daylight protection and powerful antioxidant activity, whilst catering for your specific skin type?

This is where Heliocare 360° comes in. Developed by skin experts with the understanding that not one daily sunscreen fits all, Heliocare 360° offers a wide range of daily sunscreens which offer targeted solutions for all skin types. With unique formulations designed to help prevent and reduce the symptoms of key skin concerns such as pigmentation, redness, and fine lines and wrinkles, as well as products that combine the benefits of full-spectrum daylight protection and foundation coverage, there’s a Heliocare 360° for everyone that you’ll love to use every day.

In this blog, we’ll be spotlighting on the Heliocare 360° Water Gel – the perfect daily sunscreen for dry, dehydrated and normal skin types. But first, what exactly are Heliocare 360° daily sunscreens?

What are Heliocare 360° daily sunscreens?

Heliocare 360° daily sunscreens are specifically formulated for everyday use. They are lightweight and silky in texture, so they look and feel great on the skin, and create a great base under make up. They are also non-comedogenic, so they won’t block your pores and cause pesky breakouts!

All Heliocare 360° daily sunscreens provide full-spectrum defence, against UVB (minimum SPF50), UVA (PA++++), visible light and infrared-A, and contain intelligent ingredients to help boost skin health, including DNA repair enzymes and the supercharged antioxidant Fernblock®, which helps neutralise free radicals and increase the skin's resistance to the sun.

Why should we wear sunscreen everyday?

Sun protection is an everyday thing – because where there’s light, there’s potential to damage our skin, even in the autumn and winter months.

UVB rays are weaker in the winter (although they can still be quite strong at higher altitudes, e.g., on winter ski holidays), but they are still present – and they’re not the only rays that can cause sun damage.

UVA, visible light, and infrared-A however, are present all year round. UVA exposure is the cause of 85% of premature skin ageing and can also exacerbate the inflammation and pigmentation caused by visible light. Meanwhile, infrared-A penetrates deep into the skin, damaging its underlying structure contributing towards photoageing including the development of premature fine lines and wrinkles.

Studies have shown wearing a high-level, broad-spectrum sun protection product daily, for a year or more, reduces and prevents signs of photoageing.^1,2,3

How winter can impact dry, dehydrated skin

If you don’t already have dry skin, harsh winter conditions can create it, so it’s important to keep hydration in mind during the colder months. Humidity goes down in the winter and that cold, dry air strips the skin of its natural moisture, which then needs to be replaced. And once the skin barrier is cracked and damaged, it gets even harder to hang on to hydration. Constantly moving between the cold air outside and central heating inside creates saps even more moisture, resulting in dry, itchy, irritated skin.

As our skin gets drier, our complexion might start to look dull, so we try to fix it by over-exfoliating, and the problem just gets worse. Frequent moisturising to replace the natural moisture your skin has lost is important, as is avoiding harsh cleansers and any products that contain alcohol, as they can make dry skin worse. But adding too many products to your routine can also irritate sensitive skin, so make sure you are using products you trust, and that can deliver multiple benefits.

Our skin’s moisture also decreases naturally as we age, so skin that didn’t use to need much help might start to need a bit more care as we get older.

Preventing premature skin aging requires both hydration and protection against solar radiation. By starting a daily sunscreen habit with Heliocare 360° Water Gel, you’ll get the hydration needed to keep your skin plumped and refreshed in the short term, and the protection to keep it looking that way in the long term.
