The Spring Bank Holiday weekend may be over, but your skin still needs protection.

Here’s how to reapply SPF over makeup or delicate skin without irritation — perfect for busy days.

On Melanoma BRAF Awareness Day, remember: consistent protection is prevention.
Layer Alomar’s gentle aloe first and reapply confidently.

If your skin is going through treatment — or recovering from it — choosing SPF is genuinely complicated. And ‘just use a high factor’ is not good enough advice.

Here’s what to actually look for:

🔍 Ingredients:
• Mineral filters: Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide (they sit on the skin, not inside it)
• Fragrance-free — always
• No alcohol, no essential oils
• Hypoallergenic

🧔 Texture:
• Cream for very dry or post-radiotherapy skin
• Gel for lighter coverage on warmer days
• Stick for precision on scars, ear rims, and the scalp parting

And this Friday is Don’t Fry Day — which means: yes, even on a grey UK afternoon, reapply every two hours.

Protection is care. 🌱

Cloudy doesn’t mean harmless.

Up to 80% of UV rays pass through clouds in the UK. And if your skin is sensitive, post-treatment, or reactive, that matters more than most people realise.

SPF 50+ is not vanity. It’s not a summer product. It’s the simplest daily habit that reduces your skin’s long-term risk — whether you’re managing eczema, recovering from radiotherapy, or simply living with skin that needs a little more care.

Don’t skip these areas:
• Ears — front and back
• Neck — all the way round
• Décolleté and upper chest
• Hands and fingers
• Scalp parting

Apply generously. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors.

This Skin Cancer Awareness Month — protection is care. Every single day. 🌱

It's Allergy Awareness Week — and for anyone managing sensitive or reactive skin, this one's for you. 🌸

Skin allergies and sensitivities affect millions of people in the UK. Whether it's contact dermatitis, eczema triggered by a product ingredient, or simply skin that reacts to things it shouldn't — you deserve skincare that genuinely works with your skin.

The most common triggers to know about:
→ Fragrances — the number one cause of cosmetic contact allergies
→ Preservatives like parabens and formaldehyde-releasers
→ Certain plant extracts — natural doesn't always mean safe for sensitive skin
→ Alcohol-based formulations that disrupt the skin barrier over time

What to look for instead: short ingredient lists, fragrance-free formulations, and brands that are honest about what they leave out — not just what they put in.

At Alomar, our products are built around pure organic aloe vera with minimal additives — making them gentle enough for sensitive, reactive, and post-treatment skin.

Always patch test new products. Your skin is unique. 💚

This is also the final post of our April series — thank you for following along all month.

Happy Earth Day. 🌍

Aloe vera has been used as a skincare ingredient for over 5,000 years. No synthetic compounds, no complex chemical processes — just a plant doing what it does best.

At Alomar Health, that's the foundation everything is built on. Organic aloe vera as the hero ingredient, a short and honest ingredient list, and formulations that work with your skin — not against it.

We believe that choosing clean skincare is both a health decision and a values decision. What goes on your skin is absorbed by your body. And what gets washed off eventually finds its way into the world around us.

This Earth Day, we're thinking about the choices we make — and the ones we're proud of.

Let's have an honest conversation about water and your skin. 💧

You've probably heard 'drink 8 glasses a day for glowing skin' more times than you can count. But what does the evidence actually say — and what's being overstated?

✅ What's genuinely true:
Mild dehydration can make skin look dull, feel tight, and exaggerate fine lines. Consistent water intake supports your kidneys and helps flush out what your body doesn't need. And hydrating foods — cucumber, watermelon, spinach — absolutely count.

⚠️ What's overhyped:
Drinking extra water won't 'plump' your skin if you're already well-hydrated. And no amount of water compensates for a damaged skin barrier.

The truth is that hydration is a team effort — inside and outside.

That means drinking enough, eating water-rich foods, and using a moisturiser that actually seals that hydration in. Our Pure Aloe Vera Gel with Panthenol (Vitamin B5) does exactly that.

Save this post for the next time someone tells you to just drink more water. 💚

Wishing you a peaceful Easter weekend from all of us at Alomar Health.

🌸This is a perfect time to slow down, enjoy good food, and give your skin a little extra love. Whether you're out in the spring sunshine or relaxing at home, don't forget your SPF!

☀️Our Facial Sun Cream SPF 50+ protects without the greasy feel — perfect for the Bank Holiday weekend.

April is Stress Awareness Month — and there's no better place to see stress than on your skin. 🌿

Eczema flaring? Skin looking dull? Breaking out for no obvious reason? When cortisol rises, your skin barrier weakens, inflammation increases, and your skin loses its ability to recover.

The solution isn't just topical. What you eat matters enormously.

This month, we're exploring the real connection between inner nourishment and outer skin health — starting with five foods that genuinely support your skin when life gets stressful:

🥑 Avocado – vitamin E and healthy fats for barrier repair
🌰 Walnuts – omega-3s and zinc to calm inflammation
🥕 Carrots – beta-carotene for cell renewal and sebum balance
🥬 Spinach – antioxidants and hydration to fight daily damage
🐟 Oily fish – omega-3s and vitamin D for deep skin repair

These aren't miracle cures — but built into a consistent routine, they make a real difference. Swipe through for the full breakdown.
