70% of industry professionals say there is an increase in asking about advice for sun protection in summer months. This suggests that sun safety and protection is less important to clients in other months. This YouGov Study (of 2,000 people) suggests only:

  • 22% apply SPF daily
  • 8% reapply it
  • 55% only apply SPF when it is sunny
  • 40% of those who wear SPF only wear it only holiday.

Clients who understand the need to protect their skin daily (365 days a year) will have better treatment results – and maintain healthy skin for longer. They are also more likely to buy more retail.

 

Advise Clients on Sun Safety

Start with the basics.  Explain why they need a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.  Tell them to apply it generously daily and to reapply as necessary (every couple of hours). This is even more important if they are swimming or playing sport (and sweating).

 

Skin Protection

Tell clients about other ways they can contribute to protecting their skin. Tell them to find shade during peak sun hours (between 10am and 2pm). Remind them to always wear protective clothing like hats and sunglasses.

 

Promote Year-round Protection

Emphasise that sun protection is not just for sunny days or holidays. Tell them the importance of year-round protection. UV rays can penetrate clouds and cause damage even on overcast days. It is essential to make sun protection a daily habit, regardless of the weather or the season. This will protect them from skin damage as well as sunburn. This study also suggests that:

  • 68% of the participant were worried about sunburn
  • Only 61% were worried about skin cancer
  • 46% are not familiar with the symptoms of skin cancer.

 

Encourage Regular Skin Checks

Remind clients to monitor their skin regularly for any changes like a new mole or spot.  Make sure they know to report any concerns. Early detection of skin cancer can significantly improve outcomes, so encourage them to be proactive about their skin health.

Client Testimonial: “I have just finished the Collagen Lift course, and wow the results are amazing. My skin feels and looks tighter, my enlarged pores are now no longer, and my lines are minimal compared to what they were. The Collagen Lift procedure is none evasive and can be catered to you personally through the heat levels, great if you’re feeling delicate. Sam was amazing, not only was she friendly, attentive and very informative, She made me feel calm and relaxed throughout. Before the treatment I was aware of the signs of ageing on my face and was very conscious of it and people looking at me, now I ooze with confidence and self esteem. I like me again. I will certainly be booking again without hesitation to keep on top of the amazing results I have obtained from this procedure. I can’t thank Sam and her Collagen Lift enough. Brilliant 5 star treatment and results.”
