Come Rain Or Shine

Harmful UV rays can not only damage your skin, but your hair, too…

We all know about the effects of the sun’s UV rays on our skin: a love of sunbathing can quickly turn into something more sinister if you don’t take precautions. Cancer Research UK (cancerresearchuk.org) reported 15,419 cases of melanoma skin cancer in the UK in 2014. When compared with stomach cancer (6,682 reported cases) and cervical cancer (3,224 reported cases), it seems that more of us need to take care in the sun.

When it comes to your hair, it’s also important to take precautions. Not only is your scalp prone to sun damage and skin cancer, but your hair itself can also suffer if not looked after. Moreover, it’s necessary to wear sunscreen at all times whether or not you’re directly exposed to the sun.
