THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 9915 Comments Posted By: Eve Pearl

With all the information about the dangers of sun damage we should be more educated than ever on how to protect ourselves. Many of us think we’re doing all we can, but are we?

According to the American Cancer Society, in the last 40 years skin cancer is on the rise at over 200%. That’s more than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer combined. Nearly 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year. The American Cancer Society also advises an SPF15 or greater for protection and to apply it every 2 hours. Apply every 2 hours! Just want to make sure you didn’t miss that.

The Beauty Industry is overflowing with makeup products containing SPF (Sun Protection Factor) …up to 50 and even 70 in the US. SPF is featured in skincare, primers, foundations and powders promising to deliver sunscreen protection. Though, these makeup products have sunscreen ingredients, they do not have the proper amount of coverage or the capabilities to protect against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.

Most of us would need to reapply that SPF foundation at least 5-10 times a day to get the SPF coverage stated on that packaging. How many times do you apply and reapply your foundation? I apply my foundation and makeup once a day early in the morning…and it lasts all day long (thank goodness).

Do you think this might be creating a false sense of protection? Inadvertently misleading us to believe that those SPF cosmetics are protecting us from the harmful rays, when they are not?

Did you think applying cosmetic products with SPF and seeing the visible signs of makeup meant you were protected? When in reality you were NOT. Simply put, without the capabilities to protect against UVA and UVB rays, sunscreen makeup simply does not live up to the expectations.

It is time we took responsibility for our skin, with knowledge, choices and follow through. If you want to protect your skin from the sun you can apply actual sunscreen. A 30-50 SPF will give you protection up to 96%. Apply and reapply in summer and winter…as needed. There are also things like a hat, sunglasses, clothing and more. Let’s not forget, the most natural way to get vitamin D is by exposing your bare skin to sunlight. As with most things, everything in moderation!

Stay connected; there will be a follow up on how to use your favorite sunscreen in conjunction your favorite foundations and beauty products.

LET DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY HELP YOU RECLAIM YOUR STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENY

Cryptocurrency has revolutionized the way we think about money and investments, but it also comes with its own set of challenges and risks. Recovering lost cryptocurrency can often seem like an impossible task, but the outcome largely depends on how the loss occurred and, more importantly, who you turn to for help. I learned this lesson the hard way after falling victim to a crypto investment scam that cost me $95,440 USDC. Thankfully, I discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a company that operates globally and transformed what felt like a hopeless situation into a successful recovery. My ordeal began two months ago when a long-time friend introduced me to a new crypto investment platform. He spoke highly of it, claiming he had already seen impressive returns. The offer seemed too good to be true: invest a certain amount, and within days, you’d see substantial profits. The platform even showcased fake testimonials and what appeared to be real-time profit updates. Trusting my friend’s judgment, I decided to invest some of my savings, believing this was a smart opportunity to grow my funds. Everything looked promising. My account displayed profits, which encouraged me to invest even more. However, when I tried to withdraw my earnings, I faced a major obstacle. For three frustrating days, I was told I needed to deposit additional funds to “unlock” my withdrawal. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. Feeling lost and desperate, I began searching for ways to recover my lost cryptocurrency and came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. At first, I was doubtful how could anyone trace crypto that seemed to be gone for good? However, their positive reviews caught my attention, so I decided to reach out. Digital Tech Guard Recovery was responsive, and transparent about what could be done. They didn’t make unrealistic promises but assured me they had successfully handled cases like mine before. I chose to move forward, and to my immense relief, they managed to recover my entire $95,440 USDC in a surprisingly short time. I was truly amazed. Their service was not only effective but also conducted with confidentiality and integrity. They kept me informed throughout the process and treated my case with the urgency it required. If you’ve lost funds due to a scam or fraudulent platform, don’t lose hope. Digital Tech Guard Recovery, operating globally, proved to me that recovery is possible when you have the right experts on your side.

My name is Lynn Reed from North Carolina, and I lost $603,000 worth of Bitcoin in a targeted SIM swap scam. Within minutes, my Bitcoin vanished from my Coinbase wallet, leaving me completely devastated and confused. I had no idea how something like this could happen so quickly or what I could do to recover from it. I immediately reported the incident to the proper authorities and explored all legal channels, but nothing could have prepared me for the reality of such a loss. Weeks went by with no progress, and I began to lose hope. Eventually, I got in touch with Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable company specializing in crypto and digital asset recovery. Their team of blockchain investigators and digital forensic experts stepped in and worked tirelessly to trace and recover my stolen Bitcoin.
Thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and discretion, my assets were successfully recovered. I’m incredibly grateful for Morphohack’s help during one of the most difficult times in my life. I highly recommend their services to anyone facing a similar situation, they are experienced, efficient, and trustworthy. E-mail contact: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES. COM…..

Their excitement fueled my own hopes, and I felt a rush of adrenaline at the thought of joining their ranks.I decided to take the plunge. I transferred my 0.5 BTC, convinced that I was making a smart financial decision. The initial thrill of the investment quickly turned into anxiety as I waited for the promised returns.

Six months ago, I made the life changing decision to leave my stable job and commit to full-time cryptocurrency trading. After a year of mentorship from my cousin, who had amassed significant wealth through Bitcoin and altcoins, I felt confident enough to take the leap. Starting with a modest $20,000 investment, I traded cautiously between established coins and emerging DeFi projects. To my surprise, my portfolio surged to over $60,000 in just a few months, a success that fueled my ambition.Emboldened, I went all in. I liquidated my savings, borrowed against assets, and pushed my total investment to $390,000. For a while, the strategy worked; profits flowed steadily, and I began to feel invincible. However, lured by promises of zero-fee trading and "instant withdrawals, I made a critical error: I transferred my entire portfolio to a new, unproven exchange. Initially, the platform seemed flawless, executions were smooth, and my balance grew. But when I tried to withdraw earnings, red flags appeared. Support agents dodged my requests with excuses about wallet maintenance and verification delays. Weeks passed, and my account was abruptly frozen for suspicious activity. Then, overnight, the exchange vanished, domain inactive, support unreachable leaving my life savings trapped in digital limbo.This was paralyzing. After days of frantic research and sleepless nights, I stumbled upon Pyramid Hack Solution, a cybersecurity firm specializing in crypto fraud. A fellow trader who had escaped a similar scam recommended Pyramid Hack Solution, and though skeptical, I had no other options. The team at Pyramid Hack Solution acted swiftly, dissecting blockchain trails to expose the fraudulent exchange’s operations. Within weeks, Pyramid Hack Solution recovered access to my account and secured a substantial portion of my funds. While I didn’t recoup everything, Pyramid Hack Solution’s intervention saved me from total ruin. In that moment of despair, I felt a profound sense of gratitude, not only for the expertise of Pyramid Hack Solution but also for the guiding hand of God. I realized that even in the darkest times, faith can lead to unexpected solutions. It was a reminder that divine providence often works through the actions of others, and I was blessed to have found help from Pyramid Hack Solution when I needed it most.
