Real Results – Get inspired: Glow for it!

By Kirsti Shuba

The products you use must be pleasurable to apply. But let's face it the real test is the results you see and feel on your skin.

1 product. 14 days. Let the challenge begin!

Meet Becky, she agreed to change 1 product in her skincare regime for a 14 day period.

Becky looks after her skin well with a morning and evening routine. At 35 years old, Becky’s skin was in good condition, but she craved the scars from past breakouts to be gone, along with the pigmentation which had developed over her forehead and top lip.

Results in just 14 days? Is this too good to be true?

‘I was sceptical that I would see any dramatic changes in my skin in such a short amount of time’.

‘I started to see results by day 5 of the trial. My skin was brighter, I was getting regular compliments from friends and people at work!’

‘My first ‘wow’ moment was during week 2 of the trial. I applied my Daily DNA Defence SPF30 and the Pure Pigment Foundation Drops. I noticed how smoothly they went over my skin. The finished result was flawless!

14 days later what happened next?

The Multi-Vitamin Concentrate has improved the pigmentation I have on my forehead and top lip. The improvement in just 2 weeks is incredible!

My skin feels smoother to touch and is visibly smoother too.

I have noticed the open pores on my cheeks have reduced, which makes me so happy.

The trial period ended…

Becky continued to use the Multi-Vitamin Concentrate, as she see’s it as a vital part of her skincare regime. ‘The ingredients in Multi-Vitamin Concentrate kick started my skin, as though it had a new lease of life’.

‘We recommend using one of our Step 2 – Skin Boost Concentrates for a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 3-months, before you switch to an alternative Katherine Daniels Concentrate. This gives you maximum product efficiency, without allowing your skin to get too accustomed to the key ingredients’ say’s Donna Tait, Co-founder of Katherine Daniels.

Donna adds ‘By alternating products, your skin will get everything it needs to nurture and care for its basic needs. Doing this keeps your skin function at its highest level. Alternating products also means your skin doesn’t get ‘lazy’ with ingredients. This keeps your results maximised’.

We asked Becky how her skin is looking now…

‘After 6 weeks, my skin is so much clearer, scarring is hugely reduced, along with the pigmentation marks. I am well on the way to the skin of my dreams. Multi-Vitamin Concentrate has been the most impressive product for me’.

Becky’s happy. We’re happy. Could we make you happy?

As the cold months roll in it's easy to think SPF can take a backseat in your skincare routine. But Daily DNA Defence SPF30 is much more than just a sunscreen, it’s your final coat of skin armour, it’s weather protection for your skin.

Our award-winning, broad-spectrum SPF protects your skin from more than just UV rays. It guards against environmental pollutants and blue light
emitted from your screens. Meanwhile, winter’s cold air, winds and rain can damage your skin barrier.

During and after exposure to the elements, Daily DNA Defence protects and repairs your cells DNA.

And more than this, it’s the best make-up primer. Talk about a multi-tasking product! Its lightweight formula sits comfortably under your foundation, ensuring your make-up stays fresh and stays ‘put’ all day.

Keep reading as we deep dive into the benefits of Daily DNA Defence SPF30 and why it’s an essential part of your winter skincare regime.

Broad-spectrum, photostable protection with Daily DNA Defence SPF30

Not all SPF products are created equal, Daily DNA Defence SPF30 offers broad-spectrum protection. This means that it shields your skin from both UVA rays (the ones that age your skin) and UVB rays (the ones that burn your skin). If your moisturiser or foundation contains an SPF it’s worth checking, make sure you’re covered for both UVA and UVB. Many of those products only protect against UVB, leaving your skin vulnerable to the long-term damage caused by UVA rays.

I’m guessing that you follow your daily skincare regime to promote skin health and to keep your skin looking great for your age? Using Daily DNA Defence SPF30 will help you avoid undoing all that effort by providing the UVA protection your skin truly needs.

And here's the bonus: our SPF is photostable, meaning it won’t break down or lose effectiveness in the sun. However, if you're by the pool make sure to reapply every two hours as water, sweat and towel drying can remove it, leaving your skin vulnerable.

Blue light and pollution protection

In today’s world, your skin is up against more than just the sun. Daily DNA Defence SPF30 also shields your skin from two often overlooked threats: blue light and pollution.

Blue light, mainly from our smart devices and pollution in the atmosphere. Blue light and pollution trigger changes in your skin cells, even leading to cell death. Unprotected exposure to these will lead to hyperpigmentation and can damage your skin’s health. Most blue light comes from smart technology, which is used daily by most of us. Pollution is all around; levels are higher in towns and cities all year.

DNA Defence and Repair: protecting your skin at the cellular level

When your skin is exposed to radiation it faces more than just surface damage, your cells DNA is at risk. Daily DNA Defence SPF30 acts like a "virtual parasol," shielding your cells during exposure to harmful rays. But the protection doesn’t stop there. After exposure, your body naturally works to repair DNA damage. Your cells naturally produce an enzyme which kickstarts the repair process of your DNA. Thanks to the powerful repairing ingredients in our formula this process is accelerated up to 100 times, meaning your skin recovers faster, stays healthier and sustains less long term damage.

In summary, wear Daily DNA Defence SPF30 as your final coat of skin armour each day in all seasons and you can rest assured you’re doing your best to protect your skin.

Magical make-up priming

We know that finding the perfect daily SPF texture is a challenge. We’ve been there too. Most SPFs feel like a layer too many, leaving skin feeling greasy, heavy or cause foundation to slide off by midday. This is why we made our product for you. A super light veil, which is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. With no oily or white residue, it’s non-pore blocking and
dries over your moisturiser to become the best make-up primer you’ll ever use, keeping your foundation perfectly in place all day or all night long.

No make-up, no problem

For our men and/or non make-up wearers, our handy pocket size product gives you the same invisible veil and matt skin finish. Skiers, golfers and cyclists will love that it slips easily into a pocket, bag or pouch.

Where else should you be applying your SPF?

Your SPF isn’t just for your face, use all the way down to your décollete and up to your hairline. Not forgetting areas like the tops of your lips, ears, nose and the backs of your hands. These are often overlooked spots that are equally exposed to the sun, whether you’re lounging by the pool or simply driving. The backs of your hands are quick to show signs of ageing, so it’s vital to keep them protected. And if you’re grabbing some winter sun make sure to apply it to the tops of your feet.

How much SPF should you use?

Aim for about the size of a 5 pence piece for each application. However, this should come after Step 2 – Skin Boost and Step 3 – Skin Defence Cream in your skincare routine. If you're planning to sunbathe, apply Daily DNA Defence SPF30 at least 15 minutes before heading outside. Once you're in the sun reapply after 15 minutes for the ultimate protection, then continue every two hours.

And remember, swimming, sweating or towel drying can remove your SPF, so be sure to reapply regularly to keep your skin fully protected.
