Dibi Milano Daily UV Protection SPF 30 

SPF Advice from Sparx Winchester Skin ClinicWe all know how important it is to wear an SPF everyday, especially during the summer months. 

We love DIBI Milano’s innovative Daily UV Protection SPF 30 which not only protects the skin, but also contains their patented Whitology Complex.  This is designed to regulate the formation of melanin and even out skin tone.

It’s offers broad spectrum protection, meaning it shields you from both harmful UVA and UVB rays.  It also contains plankton extract which has a detox action on the skin.

The moisturising formula has anti-oxidant properties, which can counter free radicals and prevent skin dryness, thus fighting the ageing effects of sun exposure.

Mavala Lip Balm

Mavala lip balm available at Sparx Winchester Skin ClinicOur lips don’t have any sebaceous glands, which makes them vulnerable to dehydration in summer heat and dry conditions.  This can result not only in the lips becoming sore, but also losing firmness and definition and developing fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s therefore very important to take care of your lips over the summer (and all year round).  We recommend Mavala lip balm with SPF 15.  It relieves sore and damaged lips with its fine velvety texture.  It also protects and repairs using botanical extracts and shea butter.  Ideal for retaining supple youthful looking lips!

Skinade travel sachets Winchester salonSkinade Travel Sachets

If you’re a Skinade fan, you’ll know about the products amazing ability to deliver better skin from within.  A course of Skinade can increase skin hydration and radiance, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and increasing skin suppleness.  It also works to deliver healthier looking hair and nails.

Skinade is usually available as a fruit flavoured drink in a bottle – not ideal for holiday travel!   Luckily you can also purchase it in sachets, which simply need to be stirred into half a glass of water.

For a novel idea on a hot day you could even try freezing your Skinade into ice lollies!

Mavala Nail Shield

Mavala Nail Shield available at Sparx Winchester nail barYour nail plate is composed of 3 separate layers, and the outer layer can be easily damaged by too much sun, detergents (e.g. washing your hair every day), exposure to chlorine in swimming pools and more.

To avoid flaking, splitting and dryness over the summer, we recommend using Mavala Nail Shield.  The unique formula offers the nails protection from damaging elements, allowing them to regrow and strengthen. 

Sparx Whipped Shea Butter
