For those with oily or spot-prone skin, it can be a challenge to find a sunscreen that is comfortable enough to wear every day, and that doesn’t block pores and make oiliness and breakouts worse.

What if there was an everyday sunscreen that could not only control oil production, but improve the health of your skin and help combat photoageing at the same time?

That’s 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 everyday.

In this blog, we’ll be spotlighting on the Heliocare 360° Oil-Free Gel – the perfect daily sunscreen for dry, oily, spot-prone and combination skin and why its important to wear sunscreen every day, all year-round. 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.

And if your skin is on the oily side, sun damage can actually make symptoms worse, as your skin tries to soothe itself and repair damage by increasing oil production. UV can also make post-acne marks such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, darker and more visible, by increasing the melanin in the skin.

How winter can impact oily, spot-prone skin

Winter brings its own set of challenges for the skin. The dry air and frequent transitions between indoor heating and outdoor cold can trigger skin to produce excess sebum, leading to a shinier complexion and an increased likelihood of breakouts.

The holiday season can also bring its own stressors – everyone is rushing around and busy, maybe wearing more makeup than usual, possibly drinking more alcohol and not hydrating – your skin is up against a lot, so using oil-free sun protection is your best option to help keep your skin looking fresh, healthy and shine-free throughout the party season.

However, it doesn’t stop there – it’s also an excellent choice for people with combination or normal skin looking for the benefits of sunscreen without the unwanted shine. The mattifying properties also make it a great choice for layering with makeup.
