We recommend La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50+, available in clinic.

For personalised advice or to assess sun-damaged skin, book a consultation. No GP referral is required. Call us on 06 877 1855 or email hello@dermatologyhb.nz.

Dermatology Hawke’s Bay will be closed on Friday 6th February for Waitangi Day and will reopen on Monday 9th February.

If you are spending time outdoors over the long weekend, please remember to protect your skin. New Zealand’s UV levels remain high at this time of year, and sun protection is essential.

Slip, slop, slap and wrap, and seek shade when possible.

Sun protection and vitamin D don’t have to be in conflict — it’s all about balance.
As Dr Juber explains, sunscreen is essential for preventing burns, premature ageing, and skin cancer, yet regular, proper use does not usually lead to vitamin D deficiency. Short, safe sun exposure and dietary sources are often enough to maintain healthy levels.

Not all sunscreens are created equal. Recent independent testing in New Zealand and Australia showed some products did not meet their labelled SPF claims. This is why choosing broad-spectrum, well-tested sunscreens — and checking the latest Consumer NZ data — is so important.

A balanced approach is key:
• Short, safe sun exposure a few times per week
• Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+
• Dietary or supplemental vitamin D if needed

You can protect your skin from harmful UV rays while maintaining healthy vitamin D levels at the same time — thoughtful sun exposure, reliable sunscreen, and staying informed make all the difference.

One of the most common questions we hear is: what sunscreen is best for my skin type?

Your skin is the largest organ of the body — it deserves daily protection and care. With UV levels at their highest during summer, consistent sun protection has never been more important.
