Research suggests that daily sunscreen use can

reduce the signs of ageing by 24%

Queensland Institute of Medical Research conducted a recent study showing the importance of using sun care products to prevent the skin from sun damage. This research shows that it is never too late to start protecting your skin from the sun’s damaging effects.

Dr Annique Theron made this statement boldly decades ago, and whilst the 24% that Australian researchers are claiming today may not have been her exact finding, once again Dr Theron’s own research was ahead of the times and highly insightful.

It is today, still one of the significant differences that Annique users bring into their daily skin care routine. In the harsh South African climate, premium skin protection is not an option, it is an absolute necessity. Sun or skin-ageing is also known as photo-ageing, and it is this very process that the Annique sun-care products are aimed at reducing.

Dr Adele Green, a professor at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia, says that it is never too late to start to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays and to stave off photo-ageing or worse still dangerous sunburn and skin cancer.

As part of the Australian research program, 903 people, aged 55 and younger were selected to participate in the research, to see whether applying sunscreen daily would stall their ageing more than people who used the products at their discretion.

Daily participants used products with a sun-protection factor (SPF) of 15+, and applied it to their head, neck, arms and hands each morning after bathing, and every time they spent a few hours in the sun or sweated profusely.

All were tracked for more than four years. Researchers calculated the daily sunscreen group showed 24 percent less skin ageing than those in the discretionary group by study's end. Sunscreen's anti-ageing properties were observed in all participants who used it daily, regardless of age, meaning adults up to 55 were also protected, indicating that it is never too late to start protecting your skin.
