THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 9943 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.

After losing 3.5 BTC, roughly $200,000, to a fraudulent crypto investment platform that vanished overnight, I was devastated. The sleek website and fake testimonials had lured me into believing I’d struck gold, but when I tried to withdraw, the platform froze, and support ghosted me. Desperate, I turned to several recovery companies, only to be scammed again, each one demanded upfront fees and delivered nothing, draining another $10,000 from my savings. I felt broken, my trust shattered. Then, a crypto forum thread mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity and digital forensics team specializing in scam recovery. Skeptical but clinging to hope, I contacted them via their encrypted email. Within hours, a Nest operative responded, asking for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots. Their professionalism and empathy stood out no false promises, just a clear explanation of their blockchain analysis and legal tactics. They traced my BTC through a maze of mixers and wallets, uncovering links to an exchange account tied to the scammers. Using their law enforcement connections, they froze the assets before they could be laundered further. Over a week, they kept me updated, demystifying the process without jargon. Finally, I got a message: Check your wallet. My heart raced as I saw 3.2 BTC returned, an outcome I thought impossible. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my funds, they restored my faith in justice. Their expertise, transparency, and relentless pursuit turned my nightmare into a story of redemption, teaching me to stay vigilant in the crypto world.

After losing 291,000 USDT to a sophisticated crypto investment scam, I was devastated, my trust shattered by the sleek promises of a fraudulent platform that vanished overnight with my life savings. Desperation led me to several so-called recovery experts, each claiming expertise but delivering only empty promises and additional fees, further deepening my financial and emotional turmoil. Just when I thought all hope was lost, a colleague mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity and digital forensics team specializing in scam recovery, known for their discreet and effective approach. Skeptical but with nothing left to lose, I reached out, expecting another dead end. From the first contact, Alpha Spy Nest stood out, their team was professional, empathetic, and transparent, asking detailed questions about the scam, including transaction records, communications with the scammers, and the fake platform’s interface. They explained their process clearly: using advanced blockchain analysis, cyber forensics, and legal expertise to trace and recover lost funds. Within hours, they assigned a “Nest operative” to my case, who maintained regular communication, providing updates without overwhelming jargon. Their team meticulously traced the USDT through multiple wallet addresses, identifying patterns that linked the funds to a network of scam-operated accounts. They collaborated with blockchain analysts and leveraged their law enforcement connections to freeze some of the assets before they could be laundered further. The process wasn’t instant, it took weeks of persistent effort but their determination never wavered. They uncovered that my funds had been split across several exchanges, and through a combination of legal pressure and technical expertise, they managed to recover 85% of my 291,000 USDT, an outcome I never thought possible. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my funds, they restored my faith in the possibility of justice in the murky world of crypto scams. Their professionalism, coupled with a genuine commitment to their clients, made all the difference, turning a nightmare into a story of resilience and redemption.

I was scammed by a binary option website. I lost about $253,000 to them. It was a really hard time for me because that was all i had and they tricked me into investing the money with a guarantee that i will make profit from the investment.. I was referred to RecoveryHacker101, they are recovery specialists for all types of online scams, they helped me in recovering all my lost funds I couldn’t believe at first that this was possible as i have lost all hope in contacting anyone on the internet, but i guess not everyone is bad after all. You can reach them on (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).
