Sun protection: how to defend your skin from sun damage with Skög Sweden

We're now in the middle of Summer, the sun is out and the good weather is putting everyone in a good mood. But there is someone who is not that happy about the sun shining: your skin! When UV light from the sun hits unprotected skin, it causes damage and can even lead to skin cancer. Below are our suggestions about what you can do to prevent damage and stay safe in the sun.

Skincare from nature's ingredients

Skög_is a Swedish beauty brand that uses ingredients found in their purest form to create their skincare and haircare lines. Their formulations allow your skin and hair to heal from the inside out.

Nature is deeply embedded in the Swedish way of life and culture; using Skög's products is a pathway into this world and an experience of fresh breeze and forest smell onto your skin.

The brand is PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free, meaning they neither use any animal derived ingredients nor they test on animals.

Researched in Sweden and handmade in India, everything is ethically and sustainability sourced; the ingredients are of the highest quality and the preservatives are naturally certified.

Natural Sun Care

Skög's Daily Sun Shield is the perfect product to add to your skincare routine this summer. It is a mineral based, toxin-free, ultra lightweight sunscreen with Spf 35. Great to wear under make-up, it doesn't make the skin feel greasy and leaves no white cast; it flawlessly sinks in giving a natural look and glow from within. It is also non-comedogenic, so all skin types can benefit from it.

The star ingredient is the Chaga Mushroom, which repairs sun damage and protects the skin the harmful UV rays. The kojic acid contained in the mushroom brightens and hydrates. Use this creamy textured sunscreen everyday to prevent ageing and maintain good skin health.

Remember to apply at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, and then go about your day knowing your skin is protected!
