Well known make up artist Ivey Sullivan recently advised a group of teenagers gathered for a Life pharmacy skin care and make-up class, to start the day by applying a Factor 50 sunblock cream.

She particularly recommended the Factor 50 sunblock from La Roche-Posay - a medicated skin care collection available at all Life pharmacies. Stressing the importance of protecting our skin against oxidants, pollution and the drying effects out wind and sun from an early age, she advised those present to apply the sunblock prior to moisturising.

Specially trained beauty and skin care specialists are available in Life pharmacies to advise on chosing the right skin care and make up from some of the very best collections including Darphin, Smashbox, Gosh, Elizabeth Arden, Vichy, la Roche-Posay and Dr. Hauschka.
