Here's what's happening this week** πŸ‘‹ Scarborough is about to find out whether it's getting the lion's share of a Β£10 million regional pot - [up to Β£8 million earmarked for the town](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/bold-regeneration-plans-revealed-for-scarborough-in-new-mayoral-development-zone/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk), partly on account of 19 of its areas ranking among the most deprived 20% in England.

Every unprotected moment adds up, and a single exposure can trigger collagen breakdown for up to 7 days, leading to the fine lines, sagging, and loss of firmness that show up on your skin over time. Daily SPF is essential. But protection alone doesn't address the damage that UV has already done – that's where the OS-01 Peptide comes in. It’s proven to reverse the visible effects of UV aging, going further than any SPF can on its own.
