Sun Care

There is no doubt that there is a great deal of truth in the saying "Prevention is better than Cure" - more so now than ever when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

People love being in the sun - they say they look and feel better with a tan, but there is also no doubt that the sun damages the skin. Exposure to the sun is a major cause of aging - up to 90% of he changes in our skin that we think of as getting older (wrinkling, dryness, blotching) are in fact sun damage. The sun is also the main cause of skin cancer. Most forms of skin cancer can be treated, but others can be fatal. In fact, South Africa has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.

The answer to sunburn is to stop it occurring in the first place. This can be done either by staying out of the sun, covering up with clothing, or by the use of a reliable sunscreen such as Simple Aloe's Sunscreen SPF 30+. This product, containing Aloe Ferox Gelly, Vitamin E and D-Panthenol to soften the skin, is light, non-greasy and easily absorbed so it won't sweat and run into your eyes. It will protect your skin for 30 times longer than it would take for the sun to burn your unprotected skin.

Simply Aloe's After Sun Soothing Gel, with Aloe Ferox Gelly, Camomile and Kelp extract, is a fast and effective soothing preparation used to relieve the symptoms of sunburn, bluebottle stings and similar insect bites. In severe cases of sunburn, medical attention should be sought.

Simply Aloe's Lip Balm with and SPF of 10, helps to heal chapped lips and to protect against blistering and cracking from over-exposure to the sun and wind.
