THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 10178 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.

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…..

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. GUBA and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. GUBA in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. GUBA Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn’t feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through Chief Dr. GUBA. Contact him and send him an email via: drgubahealingherbs@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2347077581439 or website: https://drgubahealingherbs.wixsite.com/guba-healing-herbs
