Sunscreen 101

🌞 It’s that time of year where I come around and talk about sunscreen safety. We are packing for our beach trip and it’s always a reminder of what is not talked about in regards to using sunscreen. Why are we not educated in the fact that so many sunscreens can create the very thing you are trying to protect yourself from, Cancer? Yep!

😎 CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN

Chemical sunscreens are designed to be absorbed by the top layers of skin as they work in two different ways to help neutralize harmful UV radiation. On one level, it deflects and scatters the sun’s harmful rays before they damage the skin, while on the other they filter the UVA/UVB and convert them into heat, neutralizing them.

Unfortunately, chemical sunscreens may cause skin reactions in certain people and can worsen melasma and rosacea. They also contain one or more of the following active ingredients, oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, or octinoxate, each of which carries its own potential for harm.

🤯 It can actually be safer for you to NoT put on sunscreen than spraying those chemicals on you and/or your kids. That’s not helping anybody (including the people around you at the pool/beach).

🤓 I can get real nerdy on this subject, so I would love to share more with you.
