Why is Dr Jen so obsessed with SPF? Because despit

Why is Dr Jen so obsessed with SPF? Because despite the amazing advances in skincare, it’s still the best tool you have to protect your skin from the number one cause of aging - UV rays! (For the record, she doesn’t recommend smoking, a diet consisting of only sugar or sleeping on your face either, but SPF is such an EASY one). ⠀
⠀
UVA rays are present all year around. They have a longer wavelength than UVB rays and are associated with skin aging. There are some shorter waves that contribute to burning. (UVB rays are associated with skin burning, and both are associated with skin cancer). UVA radiation is the main type of light used in sun beds (don’t even get us started on those 😭) and can penetrate glass and clouds. ⠀
⠀
⠀
So the simple rule is to wear SPF every day, end of 😂. The trick is to find one you like, it does make it much easier to actually wear it!⠀
Some of our patient favourites include:⠀
⠀
1. Reigning champion, SYNERGY6 from @intradermologyuk . Everyone loves the texture, and only one patient reported being a little shiny during zoom calls (not hard to do, make sure you go easy on any strobe cream or highlighter if you are making an effort makeup wise). It has a very slight peachy tint so that you can see where you applied it (and look a little brighter first thing in the morning). ⠀
⠀
2. Clear Shield from @AlumierMDUK is a great option for men, and anyone concerned about oil or zoom shininess. It has a lovely matte finish and works well under makeup. ⠀
⠀
3. Hydrafactor from @obagimedical is a long time favourite for maximum GLOW factor✨ It gives a wonderful dewy finish and contains no tint at all. ⠀

Dreaming of the summer and beach days? Us too☀️⠀
⠀
Most of us take good care of the skin on our face, because we see it all year round. Our poor arms and legs can be quite forgotten in the depths of winter!⠀
⠀
The skin on our bodies tends to be dry, flaky and not quite "beach ready" by the time it warms up in Ireland, after months of cosy clothes, inside with the heating blasting. Rough knees, "chicken skin" (keratosis pilaris) on the back of your arms and ingrown hairs can make fake tan a bit tricky to get right too (and it looks like summer 2021 is going to involve as much of the fake stuff as summer 2020 did unfortunately).⠀
⠀
So how can you help your skin all over to be as fresh and glowy as your face by the time shorts weather rolls around? Here are a few tips:⠀
⠀
- COOL DOWN the temperature of your shower. Very hot water strips the skin and dehydrates it so even turning it down a degree or two can help reduce this.⠀
- try and swap in some looser clothing. Most of us are LIVING in our yoga leggings, which tend to be quite restrictive and contribute to ingrown hairs especially on the thighs and bum so give your skin a break with some shorts for your workout as the temperatures become a bit more bearable⠀
- HYDRATE from the inside out. While its always important to drink enough water, you can also add an omega 3 supplement, extra portions of oily fish and flaxseed oil to your diet. Treating yourself to some @skinade in the run up to the summer is also something a lot of our patients do and really notice the hydration of their skin improve all over their body.⠀
- EXFOLIATE. Scrubs are usually a no-no for your face, but some can be good for the knees, feet and elbows to help shift dead skin cells. Another option is to use a moisturiser with lactic acid in it - its a minimal effort option that gives super soft results. Our favourite OTC option is @ameliorateskin transforming body lotion, and Dr Jen advises anyone with keratosis pilaris to add in their exfoliating scrub too.⠀

HYDRATION 💦 ⠀
Are you hydrating your skin correctly?⠀
⠀
- reduce the temperature of your shower, and keep it under 10 minutes if possible to minimise how much it dehydrates your skin.⠀
- skip the very foamy washes and switch your shampoo for something SLS free and kind to skin (remember this washes over all of your skin).⠀
- introduce an actual "hydration" step. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent option, as is thermal water like @avene Eau Thermale.⠀
- maintain your skin barrier. This is essential for preventing water loss from the surface of your skin throughout the day. Sensitive skin or skin that feels tight a lot of the time usually needs some help with the skin barrier and lipid layer and ceramides, fatty acids and lipids are all excellent ingredient to strengthen and maintain your skin barrier. Some great options include @ceraveuki Facial Moisturising lotion, @phformula SOS and @obagi Hydrate & Hydrate Luxe.⠀
- check your environment. Sitting in a dry, warm room with the heating blaring while you WFH (for what feels like for ever at this stage?!)? Introduce a humidifier or a water based oil diffuser to hydrate your environment and reduce the stress put on your skin by dry air. You can also spritz with a hydrating water mist throughout the day too.⠀

GREEN VEGETABLES⠀ How much of your diet do they

GREEN VEGETABLES⠀
How much of your diet do they make up? 10%? Do you eat them everyday? Every meal? These guys contain so many anti-oxidants and nutrients to feed your skin and help keep it healthy. If you're spending your money on a good vitamin C or peptide serum , you're really going about it the hard way if you're not nourishing your skin from the inside out too.⠀
⠀
It doesn't have to be hard, and it actually doesn't have to taste bad (promise!). A great way to increase your veggie intake is with soups and smoothies. Baby spinach has a very mild flavour and mixed with spices and potato it can be a great soup, or blend it with coconut milk and banana or strawberries for an anti-oxidant packed smoothie for breakfast🍌 ⠀

LISTEN to your skin👂🏽 ⠀
⠀
There is no “best routine", "best moisturiser", "best cleanser" or "best product", it's all about the right one for YOUR skin.⠀
⠀
Dry loves moisturisers that breakout skin wouldn't touch. Stressed skin might react to products that happy skin loves. Sensitive skin would freak out when slathered in a strong active that old, sun damaged skin is transformed by.⠀
⠀
If your regular routine is not working for you at the moment, it could be for a number of different reasons - stress, activity levels, hormonal fluctuations, weather changes or even nutritional status. Your skin will usually try and tell you when it is not happy - listen to it, or it will just shout louder!⠀

VITAMIN C 🍋🍊⠀
Does every skin need a vitamin C serum? NO definitely not! Just like pretty much anything else you put on your skin, you want to consider YOUR skin, what type of skin you have and what exactly is it that is bothering you. ⠀
⠀
VIT C IS GREAT FOR:⠀
- brightening skin⠀
- helping maintain an even skin tone⠀
- increasing collagen production (vitamin c is essential for collagen production)⠀
⠀
BUT:⠀
- it can also increase oil production (watch out if you suffer from congestion, and avoid if you have active acne)⠀
- higher strengths can be irritating for skin, so a higher percentage is not always better. 10-15% is the best range for most skin types.⠀
- vitamin c is a relatively unstable molecule, so generally the cheaper products may not actually be absorbed into your skin⠀

Just because you're not leaving your home to physically go to work, doesn't mean you should skip your regular routine entirely!⠀
⠀
Some tips to make sure you're getting the most out of your cleanse:⠀
- choose a cleanser that suits your skin type⠀
- use warm or lukewarm water to ensure you don't strip or dehydrate your skin with hot water (Washing your face AFTER your shower can be a better way to do it and still enjoy a hot shower. Just keep your face out of the main stream of hot water in the shower as much as possible).⠀
- if you are prone to congestion, using a clean flannel or face cloth with your cleanser can be a good option to make sure you're getting a deep cleanse without having to use a very strong foamy wash (which could strip your skin, so you most likely want to skip this kind of wash).⠀

Missing your friends? We are too💔 It really does feel like there is a barrier separating us all, even if we haven’t quite made it as far as wandering around in a plastic bag (yet!). ⠀
Hopefully face to face time with friends and family isn’t too far away. ⠀
⠀
Dr Jen is still available for virtual consultations and now is a great time to tackle your skincare or discuss a treatment you have been thinking about for a while. She promises not to wear a plastic bag too!⠀
