100% Natural Sunscreen
Do you and your family use sunscreen? Please read this before stocking up this summer!
Have you been told to stay out of the sun because it will damage your skin, cause cancer and ultimately kill you? Health care providers, beauty experts and even well meaning friends may advocate this but there is little scientific evidence to justify the many campaigns urging you to completely avoid the sun. Numerous studies show that the sun is not deadly. In fact, it is healthy for you. Of course, even too much of a good thing can be harmful.
For instance, long-term, excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer. However, there's a good deal of evidence that sun exposure without sunburn significantly decreases the risk of melanoma (a more deadly form of skin cancer), but the key is safe sun exposure.
What are the risk factors of the sun’s UVA and UVB (ultraviolet) rays? The UVA rays are the harmful ones because they penetrate your skin more deeply and cause more free radical damage. Not only that, but UVA rays are quite constant during all daylight hours all year long.
By comparison, UVB’s are low in morning and evening and high midday, but these are the good ones that help your skin produce Vitamin D. So, if you're out early in the morning or late in the day, you get lots of UVA (bad) and not much UVB. Not a good way to produce vitamin D. Plus you increase your risk of cancer if that's your only sun intake, and you fail to protect your skin.
What's more, if you think you don’t need to protect yourself on a cloudy day, think again. You may just wind up with sunburn(from the UVA rays) They can break through cloud cover and pollution and do some real damage to your skin.
You may know that wearing a synthetic chemical sunscreen on your uncovered skin blocks your body’s production of vitamin D, but did you know it can interfere with vitamin D production by 97-99.9%! This could have serious consequences since vitamin D is so important for your health and well being.
Experts agree the best way to get your vitamin D is from Sunlight. Why? Because as soon as the sun's ultraviolet rays strike your skin, your body is programmed to do something remarkable! It starts producing its own natural vitamin D, in the most active form of D- calciferol(vitamin D3). This is what your body needs for proper functioning of organs and cells.
Amazingly, our bodies will automatically generate enough vitamin D from natural sunlight with virtually no risk of overdose. They know when to stop producing it before reaching toxic levels. By contrast, elevated vitamin D levels obtained from oral supplements can take 6 months or longer to normalize.
Safe sunlight exposure not only helps your body make vitamin D, it has also been shown to protect against as many as 16 different types of cancer! So, yes, your body does need some safe sun exposure, but how much is safe? Adequate time for most people is about 15 minutes per day. For those with very fair skin, it may be less. You can estimate it by when your skin just starts to turn slightly pink.
If you can't avoid the following three scenarios:
1. You’re forced to be in the sun’s direct rays for longer than is safe…
2. You must go in intense sunlight without the opportunity to gradually build up to it
3. You’re in a situation where blocking the sun with clothing or sun shades is impractical…
...use a sunscreen to help guard against sunburn. But, don't just slap on any of the standard commercial brands you find on store shelves.
Because of corporate greed countless products have been created that are harmful. There are literally hundreds of sunscreens that are toxic because they contain synthetic chemicals that can cause serious health problems and increase your risk of disease. Here's why:
The main chemical used in sunscreens to filter out UVB light is octyl methoxycinnamate(OMC.) OMC it was shown to be particularly toxic when exposed to sunshine. And guess what? OMC is present in 90% of sunscreen brands!
That's not all: A common UVA filter, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, has also demonstrated toxic properties. Furthermore, several studies show that the chemicals commonly used in sunscreens are absorbed through the skin and end up circulating in your blood stream.
There’s more: Potentially harmful chemicals such as dioxybenzone and oxybenzone are some of the most powerful free radical generators known to man! So if your sunscreen contains these, or any of the previously mentioned chemicals, pitch it and switch to a formula that is safe and healthy for your skin.
For moms: You are undoubtedly concerned about your children’s well being and safety. When you lather up your kids with sunscreen thinking you're doing the right thing, you could in fact be doing more harm than good. Check the labels on your sunscreen and do the “pitch and switch.” Fortunately, there's a much better option than chemical-laden commercial sunscreens...
