 Everyone loves a bit of sun and heaven knows we deserve it after the winter we have had in Ireland recently and the release of lockdown. Beach? Yes please! Sunshine and the skin is great for helping the body produce Vitamin D which in recent years has seen a raft of research showing its benefits. Recently healthy levels of vitamin D in your blood have also been shown to fight COVID-19. Where Irish and Brits are situated on the planet we don't get enough sun to produce Vitamin D within our bodies so supplementation is something to consider for your wellbeing. However too much sun can damage the skin. A WHO report attributes 90% of ageing to sun exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) rays both A & B create radiation which basically creates all the ageing of your skin: pigmentation, sun spots and wrinkles.  Ultraviolet A rays UVA do a lot of damage without generating a tan and ultraviolet B UVB rays help Vitamin B production and produce skin cells that give you a darker complexion and causes sunburn. Both rays create free radicals that damage the skin creating wrinkles and potentially changes to cellular DNA. Too much sun can also expose you to skin cancer but 95% of skin cancers are treatable if diagnosed early. So if you have an itch or an itchy mole all of a sudden head to your GP to get it checked. UV rays when they hit the skin also attack elastin a protein which causes the skin to sag eventually.  What is the best sun safety advice ? An umbrella for the beach! This simple solution lets you enjoy your holiday at the beach but avoids sun damage. The coverage helps you to build up the melanin in your skin and helps you not get sunburnt whilst enjoying the holiday. Do not expose your skin to the sun at noon when the UV rays are most damaging. A wide rimmed hat is also excellent to protect your face. Try and get sunglasses that state the lens are UV protecting. The ones that are will have a sticker stating this. Sun protection cosmetics with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) are a must. A quick rule of thumb is 15 SPF gives you 15 minutes protection and 30 SPF 30 minutes protection and so on. You need to use a different cream for you face than your body. Lots of the general SPF creams sting the eyes with the ingredients they are made of. So get a nice SPF cream for your face that does not sting your eyes but affords you protection. Ask the pharmacist and yes it might cost 20 Euros or more but your face is your fortune and you do not want your eyes stinging on holidays. You work all year so you deserve a nice treat. Especially cover for kids with SPF creams who do not understand the dangers of the sun yet? Aromatherapy Facial Serum 22 - 30ml

If your skin would start to burn after 5 minutes in the sun an SPF 10 will give you ten times more protection allowing you stay in the sun for 50 minutes – 10 times longer than normal. Without applying a cream of SPF you are allowing 100% photons of UVB through to your skin but when you apply sun lotion with SPF 50 you block out up to 98% of them.  If you do happen to burn your skin two good natural remedies are Aloe Vera gel as pure as you can get and natural yogurt both of which sooth the skin. Homeopathic Cantharis is also good to ease the pain of sunburn. Happy ‘sunburn free’ holidays.  Eau de Cologne - 50ml
€24.99
100% NATURAL, VEGAN and CRUELTY-FREE Our Eau de Cologne is made with 100% pure essential oils from herbs & spices. We developed this unisex Cologne with spring in mind & wanted to return to the use of high quality natural ingredients which is what our brand is known for. Many perfume houses in France only used essential oils to create colognes & perfume up to the 1930’s. Like any work of art our formula is secret but nourishes the body, mind & soul. With top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit & Orange; heart notes of Ylang ylang, Neroli & French Lavender & with base notes of Cedarwood, Vetivert & Frankincense. Ralph Quinlan Forde the founder of Mindful Beauty has formulated this Cologne with his knowledge of perfumery he gained from studying in Grasse, France - the epicentre of international perfume craft. In 1708, Giovanni Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils & orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Eau de Cologne, in honour of his new hometown in Germany as he was missing Italy. The Mindful Beauty Eau de Cologne is just that: citrus floral spring mornings - crisp, fresh & awakening.
