Most people risking skin damage

Members of the public in Exeter are still not wearing SPF on a daily basis, despite potential health risks, a recent survey reveals*.

The Skin Angels, Exeter’s campaigning beauty therapists from Purity Boutique Spa, recently asked members of the public who were shopping in Princesshay if they were wearing SPF and only 26% of people asked said they were. This means that 74% were unprotected from damaging UVA and UVB sun rays.

The Skin Angels are on a mission to educate people young and old about the importance of year round sun protection.
