Who keeps their Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser or Exfoliating Cleanser in the shower? 🙋🏻‍♀️🚿 ⁠
⁠
Easy to use, packed full of antioxidants and safe for all skins, Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser is the perfect daily face wash to keep skin clean and clear. Removing grit, grime, dirt and oil whilst smelling good enough to eat, Exfoliating Cleanser is the ultimate way to cleanse the day away (and ideal to be used in the shower!).

Good enough to eat – but please don’t. Exfoliating Cleanser’s natural exfoliating beads (including Cranberry Seeds and Jojoba Beads) physically exfoliate, invigorate and deep cleanse the skin leaving it hydrated and fresh. Use 2-3 times a week (it’s best in the shower for mess management), after cleansing, for radiant, glowing skin.

It’s the age-old question: What’s the difference between SPF 30 and 50? The answer ⁠
⁠
depends not only the length of time that it protects your skin against the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, but also the amount of UV it allows into the skin. ⁠
⁠
SPF 30 offers 97% protection against UV, allowing 3% of UV to enter the skin while SPF 50 offers 98% protection against UV, allowing for 2% of UV to enter the skin. Whilst this may not seem like a lot, it is still stronger protection, especially when it comes to the length of time SPF 30 and 50 offer. ⁠
⁠
The general rule of thumb is that an SPF 30 will protect your skin from burning and damage for 30 times longer than it would usually take you to burn without any sun protection with SPF 50 protecting you 50 times longer. Confusing right? Let us break it down a little further: If your skin takes 5 minutes to burn in direct sunlight without any SPF than an SPF 30 would protect you for 150 minutes (5 minutes x 30 = 150). Whereas an SPF 50 would protect you for 250 minutes. ⁠
⁠
Now, you might look at those stats and think, SPF 50 it is, however, you must also remember that often those who use SPF 50 feel somewhat bulletproof in the sun and can easily forget to reapply. Reapplying is without a doubt the most effective way to prevent the damage that can occur from excessive UV exposure.
