In order to protect the skin from photodamage, dermatologists recommend daily use of a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15; yet many consumers are still confused when it comes to purchasing adequate sun protection for their skin. In the UK, sun creams currently have to comply with cosmetics safety laws contained in the Cosmetics Products (Safety) Regulations 1996. However, these regulations do not include a method for determining SPF (UVB protection) or UVA protection values, and do not give guidance about what claims can or cannot be included in labelling; hence there is no universal system or standards. As the research into the effects of UVA light continues, along with the unfortunate rise in skin cancer cases, more and more manufacturers are looking at ways to offer a proper broad-spectrum sun protection product. A wide variety of sunscreen products are available from the High Street, beauty salons and clinics. Prices can range from £2.00 to £40.00+.

Sharon Hennel, Bilsworth
"I recently went to see Dr Jenni regarding a growth I had on my face and to ask advice regarding skin care. On arriving at her beautiful clinic she immediately put me at ease - she is very easy to talk to and took on board all the concerns I had. She confirmed she could help with the growth and also gave me some fantastic advice regarding skin care + we discussed some sympathetic treatments I could have to help with the aging process. I didn't feel pressured at all to take any of the treatments although I did purchase some of the fantastic SPF cream from the skin care range she advises. I cannot tell you how fabulous my skin feels - she treats your skin not just from the outside but inside as well. Everyone has commented on how my skin looks and this is only after 4 weeks - I am so pleased. She has removed the growth from my face and 2 weeks later you wouldn't have known it was ever there. She is a consummate professional and her knowledge of skin and self care is phenomenal. She makes you feel at ease and valued - almost like you chatting to a friend. I will most definitely be going back for more and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Dr Jenni you have made me love myself again."
