WHY IS SPF SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SKIN?

SPF isn't just for sunscreen. When you use everyday beauty products with SPF included, such as L'Occitane's Peony CC Cream and Precious BB Cream, you can help protect your skin from UV damage as well as benefit from the perfecting and youthful properties of the cream. Multi-tasking! But why do you need added Sun Protection Factor away from the beach? You might not know it, but you are also vulnerable to sun damage in the city, where pollution and UV rays are a bad combination for your skin. It's not limited to the summer either: you're still exposed to UV rays in the winter, and the cold temperatures can often mean you don't notice the exposure.

In addition to your face, the neck area, hands and lips are constantly exposed to UV rays, and it’s important to protect them from signs of ageing. The Peony Lip Balms, ideal for daily use, protect your lips thanks to their sun filter (SPF25) and nourish them for up to 8 hours. Hands are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing (dark spots, slackening, etc.), so the Almond Velvet Hands SPF 15 is perfect for keeping in your purse and applying whenever you need a dose of moisture.
