The Essential Skincare Products to Prevent & Repair Sun Damage
As we’re bringing awareness to Sun Awareness Week, it’s the perfect time to reassess your skincare routine. While the importance of daily SPF is well known, many people underestimate the lasting effects of sun exposure, and the role that medical-grade skincare can play in both prevention and repair.
At Dermoperfection, we stock a curated selection of clinically backed products designed to protect your skin barrier, reverse signs of sun damage, and keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and radiant all year round.
Why is Sun Protection So Important?
UV radiation is the number one cause of premature skin ageing and is responsible for:
- Hyperpigmentation and sun spots
- Dehydrated, dull skin
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity
- DNA damage at a cellular level
Daily exposure, even on cloudy days or through glass, can lead to cumulative skin damage. That’s why investing in broad-spectrum sun protection and barrier-supporting skincare is essential.
Top Products for Sun Protection & Recovery
1. Obagi Sun Shield Cool or Tinted SPF50
- Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection

Ideal for daily wear and suitable for all skin types. Obagi’s advanced formula also includes antioxidants to prevent environmental damage
2. PCA Skin Weightless Protection SPF45
- Broad-spectrum SPF with a sheer finish

Whether you’re preventing future damage or actively correcting existing issues like pigmentation or dehydration, choosing the right products matters.
