Unapplied Changes
Chemical peels, laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion are the most popular and commonly performed non-invasive skin treatments across the UK.
Resurfacing procedures leave the skin extremely susceptible to UV damage, so educating patients on proper post-procedure SPF protection is essential to ensure the best treatment outcome and optimal healing time.
Mineral vs chemical protection
Chemical sunscreens are generally not recommended for use immediately after a procedure. Commonly used chemical filters such as benzophenone, oxybenzone and octocrylene have been associated with irritation and photoallergic contact dermatitis reactions.
Mineral-based SPF products are the preferred option by physicians because they act as a physical shield that sits on top of the skin rather being absorbed, and their formulations are gentler to vulnerable, sensitised complexions. Mineral powders are especially suitable for post-procedure use as application does not require rubbing or tugging of the skin.
The most common ingredients in mineral SPF products—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—offer benefits beyond UV protection. Zinc oxide has proven antimicrobial properties that help soothe irritation and aid wound healing. Titanium dioxide is a proven nonirritant for inflammatory conditions such as rosacea and eczema.
The ZO difference
ZO Skin Health Sunscreen + Powder SPF 30 is the newest addition to the Triple Protection range that brings exclusive antioxidant technology and superior skin defence.
The new mineral-based formulation offers gentle and safe SPF defence for raw, post-procedure skin, while colour pigments and light reflecting minerals make it a preferred choice for daily use for all skin types.
Sunscreen + Powder SPF 30 is enriched with jojoba butter and seed sil that enable lipid replenishment and help skin barrier restoration. Fractionated melanin protects against blue (HEV) light,while a slow-release ZOX12 complex combats free radical damage and IR-A rays.
Improved patient adherence
Following proper sun protection protocol is essential to ensure that treatment benefits and improvements are not subsequently lost to unprotected UV exposure.
Sunscreen + Powder SPF 30 comes in a compact, on-the-go format that can help improve patients’ adherence to optimal sun protection behaviours and regular reapplication. The formula features marsh mallow powder which makes for a smooth application and offers oil control benefits. The dispensing brush is densely packed with soft bristles to prevent shedding and fraying. The powder features colour-enhancing pigments and comes in three universal shades (light, medium, deep) that cover all skin tones.
