Sponsored post | Staycate safe in the sun

Iona Bower July 22, 2020

Be ready for staycations this summer with safe products for the whole family from Jason

Most of us love to be out in the sunshine, but we’ll most likely be making the most of our gardens this year. However, overexposure to UV rays can permanently damage our skin. We all know we should be wearing sunscreen, but knowing what to look for in a product and how to use it effectively can be confusing. To help, we’ve put together this guide to choosing sunscreen to keep you and your family safe this summer.

Firstly, always look for a broad spectrum product with a high SPF, which offers both UVA and UVB protection, such as those from Jason. Be sure to apply 20 minutes before going out in the sun, and ideally stay out of the sun between 11am and 4pm.

A study has shown that on average we only apply 25-50% of the amount of sunscreen we are supposed to in one application. We should apply at least 30 ml of sunscreen with every all-over body application: the equivalent of a shot glass full. Be sure to re-apply at least every two hours, even more frequently if you are hitting the (paddling) pool, although most sunscreens these days offer some kind of water resistance. Jason sunscreens are water resistant for 80 minutes*.

As well as protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays, Jason’s biodegradable formulas feature antioxidant-rich botanicals to help protect, repair and nurture your skin, including green tea, grape seed and olive fruit extracts. Choose from Family SPF45, Kids SPF45, Mineral SPF30 or Facial SPF20.

If you do spend too much time in the sun, soothe skin with Jason Soothing 98% Aloe Vera Gel. Made with soothing, hydrating aloe vera gel, plus allantoin to reduce tenderness and Vitamin B5 to replenish skin. For extra refreshing relief, store the tube in the fridge.

To find out more and buy Jason’s sun care products, visit the summer shop.

*with the exception of the Facial Sunscreen.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
