BROKEN BLOOD VESSELS
UV rays cause blood vessels to rise to the
surface of your skin and sometimes burst,
giving you a little cluster of tiny red veins.
UNDO IT
You need to cool it. Start your day
with a refreshing cold splash of water
on your face, and look for anti-
inflammatory ingredients in your
skincare regime. Then use a
targeted treatment to calm
redness and reduce the
visibility of spider veins on
your cheeks and nose.

Instead of a cute smattering
of freckles on your nose, you
have ageing brown patches
that shout, ‘I’m not 21 any
more!’ Why? The sun causes
pigment cells in your skin to
multiply and cluster together.
UNDO IT
Get rid of them with a lightening
serum and a gentle overnight
peel that specifically works to
tackle age spots.

DEEP WRINKLES
Complexion looking a bit
craggy? Sun, saltwater
and chlorine can dry out
your skin’s surface and
break down the collagen
underneath, making lines
look more visible.
UNDO IT
You need a moisturiser that
packs a hydration punch
without leaving a greasy residue.Combine it with a skincare
product to temporarily ‘fill in’
and smooth out noticeable
crow’s feet, as well as those
not-so-characterful forehead
and mouth lines.

Even if you think you’ve
been completely on top of
your SPF applications, the sun
can take you by surprise. Cue
sore pink patches that, if left
alone, will almost certainly
peel. Skin emergency!
UNDO IT
Kick off your three-step damage
control plan. First, take an aspirin
or ibuprofen as soon as you clock
the sunburn to minimise swelling
and pain. Then smooth on aloe
gel to rehydrate and naturally
cool your skin. Finally, over the
next few days, moisturise your
skin with the aloe gel – the do-it-all
skincare wonder which celebs
rave about – combined with a
milk-based moisturiser.
