HAVE FUN IN THE SUN WITH SUN PROTECTION YOU CAN TRUST
Malibu Suncare makes sun protection products you can
trust, at prices you can afford. Malibu’s range covers different formats
of sun protection to safeguard the skin against the sun’s harmful rays,
including Lotion, Lotion Spray, Dry Oil and Mousse and, after exposure to
the sun, we’ve a choice of After Suns to moisturise the skin.
We at Malibu know that for most of us a sun tan makes us feel and look
glowing and healthy. But remember, such a feel good factor comes with a
price if you don’t protect your skin properly from the harmful rays from
the sun. Memories of red, blistered skin? Well, getting sun burned also
prematurely ages the skin and that means guaranteed wrinkles!
If you want that tanned look without any of the risks, try faking it! No
need to fear that “tangoed” look if you do the right preparation.
Exfoliation (scrubbing away the dead surface skin) in the bath or shower
with a skin brush or exfoliating product, followed by moisturisation using
a body lotion (or an After Sun lotion which will add lots of moisture to
the skin) will leave the skin ready to take your self-tan product. Make
sure your moisturised skin is thoroughly dry, then apply your chosen
self-tan in a thin layer, taking particular care around your eyebrows and
hairline. Apply only an extra-thin layer over the driest areas – knees,
heels, elbows. Malibu’s Self-Tans come in Lotion, Gel or Mousse.

USE
THE RIGHT AMOUNT
With Malibu’s consumer friendly prices starting as low as £2.99,
there’s absolutely no reason to skimp when applying sun lotion. The
basic rules are – apply plenty before you go into the sun and re-apply
it frequently, especially after swimming or strenuous exercise. And
don’t forget those overlooked spots, such as tops of ears and feet.
Malibu’s Dry Oil can even be sprayed through the hair to protect the
scalp, without making it greasy. |

ALL
SKIN TYPES NEED PROTECTION
Whether you’re a child or you’re fair skinned or dark skinned, there
is a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) to suit your particular skin type -
the SPF is shown on the front of a pack, usually with the description
– Low, Medium or High Protection. Skin cancer cases are on the rise in
the UK and, according to dermatologists, this statistic includes all
skin types. When Afro-Caribbeans and Asians develop melanoma, the
prognosis is often worse because detection is usually very late. Some
believe their skin can withstand the sun's damaging rays better than
it can and tell-tale redness, visible in over-exposed white skin, does
not show up on darker skins. |

40% of
young adult Afro-Caribbeans, surveyed recently in the UK by Malibu
Suncare, have experienced sunburn (with possible long term scarring
damage), yet 42% have never worn or purchased sun protection. Malibu’s
clear Dry Oils are great for black skins as they leave no unsightly white
film on the surface.
For typical, British, white skintypes, dermatologists recommend using at
least an SPF15. This won’t stop you tanning but will protect you and,
without the burn, you’ll tan more slowly; but your skin won’t peel so your
tan will last longer.

GOLDEN RULES FOR EVERYONE
-
Children’s skin must be protected from sun damage whenever they play
outside – use Malibu’s SPF 30 specially formulated for young skin. A
hat and tee shirt will give added protection, particularly when
playing by water
-
It’s
best to avoid the strong mid-day sun, but if this is not possible,
make sure you use a High Protection sunscreen – SPF 15 and up –
cover up and wear a hat
-
Apply
sun lotion thickly and evenly and re apply frequently
-
And
remember, sitting in the garden or park in the summer sun without
sun protection can be just as dangerous to the skin as lying on a
Mediterranean beach
