Creams to Pamper Summer-Dry Skin and Daily-Use Lotion Sunscreens
UV rays are increasing even before summer officially begins. There are two types of UV rays that affect the skin: UVA (Ultraviolet A) and UVB (Ultraviolet B). UVA has a long wavelength and, while its energy is weaker, it penetrates deep into the skin. UVB, on the other hand, is a shorter wavelength. Excessive exposure to the high-energy UVB can cause various skin problems.
Daily defense against both UVA and UVB is essential for maintaining healthy, supple skin. Aesop offers a range of sun care items for both face and body, catering to different skin conditions and situations.
Concerns for summer skin often include the effects of UV rays and dryness from air conditioning. The "S & Z Facial Hydrating Cream SPF15" is perfect for such issues. It contains plant-derived ingredients and zinc oxide, a mineral-based ingredient that reflects sunlight to form a barrier without clogging pores. This is an SPF15 moisturizer that hydrates the skin.
The "Protective Facial Lotion SPF25," a daily-use lotion sunscreen, is also popular for its light texture. For the body, the "Protective Body Lotion SPF50" helps prevent sunspots and freckles while its moisturizing ingredients keep the skin hydrated and protected.
After sun exposure, the "Petitgrain Body Gel," formulated with aloe vera and panthenol to soften and smooth the skin, provides a cooling sensation for special care. For dry lips, which are often neglected, the "Protective Lip Balm SPF30" is ideal.
The "Citrus Melange Body Cleanser" is a low-lather cleansing gel formulated with essential oils that gently wash the skin. Its refreshing citrus scent evokes a resort-like atmosphere.
The "Redemption Body Scrub," formulated with finely crushed pumice and richly scented botanical ingredients, thoroughly cleanses the skin. It enhances the effectiveness of subsequent moisturizing treatments.
