The 10 skin commandments
- Use a good sunscreen and apply it often and generously. The effect of all sunscreens is short-lived. After just 2 hours, the sunscreen's sun filters are neutralized. ZO's sun products are the most effective on the market.
- Be extra careful when the sun is at its peak in the middle of the day, and consider wearing a sun hat as well. ZO Skin Health sunscreens contain both physical and chemical filters and protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
- ZO sunscreens contain fractionated melanin, which protects the skin against the aging effects of HEV light. We are exposed to HEV light all year round, e.g. through fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, smartphones, PCs, tablets, etc.
- All ZO sunscreens contain ZOC12, an antioxidant complex that fights free radicals.
- Use the right products in addition to sunscreen To prevent and combat DNA damage throughout the day, ZO recommends using Daily Power Defense and C-Bright, which is a powerful antioxidant serum. These help prevent aging and sun damage by fighting free radicals, among other things.
- Keep pigments at bay during the summer. Whether you have recently removed sun damage or are afraid of it occurring, take care in the summer sun. The strongest and most advanced protocols for removing pigments are not used in the summer as they make you extra sensitive to the sun.
However, most problems can be prevented by using mild programs from ZO, tailored to your skin by your therapist. - Use an authorized Zein Obagi clinic. TBL Medical is an authorized ZO clinic and carries products from ZO Medical.
- Visit an authorized ZO practitioner. They can recommend the right products for your skin. Everything from cleansers, scrubs, pads, antioxidants, and sunscreens, combined with Brightalive for optimal effect and to prevent damage during the summer. Our nurses are authorized ZO practitioners.
- A skin program such as C-bright and Brightalive can reduce dark spots, give a more even skin tone and stabilize new pigmentation.
- Use proper (ZO skin health) products and enjoy the summer with a clear conscience.
