Stay sun safe this summer

Let me introduce you to Claudia Fallah

Claudia Fallah is a skincare specialist and has been in the skincare business for 30 years. Her magical healing hands have helped many people overcome their skincare issues, from acne to rosacea and other various skin concerns.

Claudia has recently formulated a new skincare range for the retail market, which has been formulated and designed for even the most sensitive of skin.

You may be surprised to hear that Julie Brealy is a raving fan of Claudia. Not usually one for making time for skincare…much more of wash and go kind of a woman… Julie was introduced to Claudia earlier this year and loved Claudia’s no nonsense approach to skincare. She is for the first time ever using skincare products daily and has really noticed a difference in skin texture and appearance.  So Claudia Fallah is a staple in Julie’s bathroom now LOL.

Our Body Retreat values are in line with Claudia’s. We are both passionate about helping real women achieve real sustainable results.. so it felt like a very natural choice to begin using Claudia Fallah Skincare products.  We love her no nonsense no nasty approach to skincare.  There are no unnecessary or harsh ingredients, no extra packaging and they are not tested on animals.  I love ethical and effective skincare don’t you.

We are jetting off to Spain tomorrow to set up the first Health & Fitness Holiday of 2016. The weather forecast for Andalusia is looking pretty hot… just how we like it!!

So we asked Claudia to share her sun safe tips to take care whilst in the sun this year, after all we want to be healthy inside and out.

Claudia Fallah’s Sun Safe Tips

• Hats are very ‘on trend’ this season, so be sure to keep your face shielded by wearing a cap or hat..the wider the brim the better.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water (aim for 2 litres a day), this will help your skin to retain moisturise and will help you keep that summer glow!
• Take your time to sunbathe (don’t overdo it in one day!) and stay out of the sun in peak times (10am-2pm).
• It’s important to remember that you can still get a tan whilst in the shade without damaging your skin. Remember to top up on sun protection throughout the day or after you have been swimming/exercising.
• Don’t forget your lips! Remember to apply an SPF lip balm to stop your lips from burning.
• Wear sunglasses – this will reduce crow’s feet.
• Don’t forget to apply sun cream to your neck and chest.
• Protect your hands and ears by applying sun cream throughout the day. These parts are always the first to be forgotten!
• If you are going for a bike ride or walk – take a cloth or lightweight scarf to cover your shoulders and neck when the sun starts to become too hot.
• If you get sunburnt on your face – apply my Intensive Repair Crème, aim for a thick layer overnight. Or try my Perfectly Calming Mask on your hands and face overnight, this will stop your skin from drying when you wake up the next day.

I always recommend an after sun cream once you have had your cool evening shower. This will help to refresh and hydrate your skin.  Also don’t forget – exfoliate before you go on holiday, this will help you to achieve an even tan.
