Over 40 years of Uvistat sun protection

Uvistat is proud to have provided sun care products for over 40 years, during that time Uvistat has been fortunate to have worked alongside charities such as Melanoma UK and Sckin, England Cricketer Jonny Bairstow and The AA in campaigns designed to raise public awareness of sun protection.

To this day, Uvistat strives to ensure that the products we offer meet the high standard required to give confidence that adequate sun protection is achieved at all times.

Uvistat for Sensitive Skin
Uvistat is well recognised as the sun cream for sensitive skin. The formulation has been developed to help protect sun sensitive skin from irritation and is medically approved for people with specific skin conditions such as PLE (Polymorphic Light Eruption) where the skin reacts to sunlight. UVA as well as UVB rays can cause sensitivity so it is important to have high levels of protection from both types of ray. Uvistat is fragrance-free in a moisturising base which also helps as irritation can often be caused by fragrances.

Uvistat Sun Creams
Uvistat Sun Creams are recognised by Dermatologists and skin clinic nurses as one of the most effective products for sensitive skin such as lupus, eczema, PLE (Polymorphic Light Eruption), acne and psoriasis. Uvistat provides balanced UVA/UVB sun protection, is fragrance free and specially formulated not to irritate the skin, so suitable for most skin types (even men who do not like fragrances!). Uvistat SPF50 and SPF30 are available in Prescription.

Photosensitivity – What is it?

Photosensitivity is an extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet rays from the sun. The condition will lead to rashes and in some cases, burns. Photosensitivity can also be triggered by some medications and should be discussed with the doctor.

Photosensitivity is an extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and other sources of light.

Symptoms of photosensitivity can vary from being mild to severe. The most common being an exaggerated skin rash or in other cases sun burn. The amount of sun exposure required for a reaction to happen varies greatly. For some people, very little sun exposure can cause or a rash or a burn, while for other sufferers only prolonged exposure to the sun will bring about a reaction.

Polymorphous Light Eruption – What is it?

As with Photosensitivity a PLE patient will develop an itchy rash when exposed to the sun. In the case of a PLE sufferer as sun exposure continues and the UV tolerance increases, symptoms will generally appear less often, however at the early stages of spring it be uncomfortable and irritating.

The best way for Photosensitivity and PLE sufferers to prevent the symptoms is to limit the amount of time in the sun and use a high factor sun cream of SPF50 when outside. Additionally, wearing of hats, sunglasses and if required long sleeves when out in the sun will also assist.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

SUN SAFETY
Stay safe in the sun!
Protect you and your family from over exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.

Choose a sunscreen labelled broad spectrum or high protection against UVA and UVB so it offers balanced UVA and UVB protection.

Do not stay in the sun too long, even whilst using sunscreen, as no sunscreen can provide 100% protection.

Use a high protection sunscreen and re-apply frequently and generously, especially after perspiring, swimming or towelling.

In sunny weather, seek shade between 11am and 3pm when UV is at its strongest.

Cover up with clothing and don’t forget to wear a hat that protects your face, neck and ears, and wear good quality UV protective sunglasses.

Never let your skin burn and remember, a tan is a sign of sun damage to the skin.

Children have more sensitive skin and need extra care – use sunscreen, clothing and shade. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
