THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 10180 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.

A sophisticated scam targeting seniors in New York has emerged, exploiting their trust and vulnerability by impersonating the Social Security Administration . This elaborate scheme began with the creation of a counterfeit SSA portal, meticulously designed to appear legitimate and convincing. The scammers aimed to ensnare seniors into a fraudulent operation that promised to convert their Social Security Income (SSI) payments into stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency intended to maintain a stable value.The tactics employed by the scammers were varied and insidious. They likely utilized phishing emails, social media advertisements, and even robocalls to reach their victims. These communications often highlighted the purported benefits of converting SSI payments into stablecoins, emphasizing advantages such as ease of access, potential for growth, and enhanced security. Such messages were particularly alluring to many seniors who may not have been well-versed in digital currencies. The scammers framed the conversion as a protective measure against inflation and economic instability, further enticing their targets.Once seniors were directed to the fraudulent portal, they were prompted to provide sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, bank account details, and other confidential data. The portal was crafted to closely mimic the official SSA website, complete with similar logos and layouts, making it exceedingly difficult for victims to discern the deception. After entering their information, victims were often instructed to transfer their existing SSI payments into a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by the scammers, under the guise of converting their funds into stablecoins.The operation was extensive, with the scammers managing to establish multiple domains to facilitate their nefarious activities. They created a network of websites that redirected victims to the fake portal, creating the illusion of numerous legitimate options for converting their payments. This complexity allowed the scammers to evade detection for an extended period. Pyramid hack solution intervened, working diligently to dismantle 15 of these fraudulent domains. Their concerted efforts led to the recovery of approximately $3 million that had been illicitly siphoned from unsuspecting seniors. This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and education regarding online scams, particularly for older adults who may be more susceptible to such schemes. It underscores the necessity for individuals to verify the legitimacy of any financial offers and to exercise caution when sharing personal information online. The pivotal role of Pyramid hack solution in this recovery effort highlights the critical need for resources that assist victims of online fraud, ensuring that those affected can reclaim their lost funds and restore their financial security.

Victim of a Pig-Butchering Scam? Here’s How I Recovered My Crypto

If you’ve fallen victim to a Pig-Butchering scam, you’re not alone, and more importantly, there’s still hope.
I’m sharing my story to raise awareness and help others who’ve been scammed recover their stolen digital assets. Two months ago, I lost $1,846,000 worth of Bitcoin and ETH in one of these sophisticated frauds.
It began with someone posing as a popular investor named “Ryan” on Instagram. His account looked legitimate, He reached out offering what seemed like a private, lucrative crypto investment opportunity. Everything seemed real, so I invested. Over the course of several weeks, I transferred significant amounts of crypto.
Then, without warning, the account was wiped clean. My entire balance gone.
I reported it to the authorities immediately, but despite their efforts, there was little they could do. Crypto transactions are notoriously hard to reverse, and scammers often route funds through multiple wallets to hide their tracks. Thankfully, a colleague with strong government connections referred me to a professional recovery team called Morphohack. He had heard they were reputable and had helped others in similar situations.
With nothing left to lose, I reached out and shared every detail I had, transaction records, addresses, communications. The Morphohack team responded quickly and took immediate action. Incredibly, within 96 hours, they traced my assets through the blockchain and successfully recovered the majority of my stolen funds. I was in shock. After everything, I thought my money was gone for good, but they delivered what I thought was impossible.
I’m sharing this as a lifeline.
If you or someone you know has been targeted by a Pig-Butchering scam, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out and explore recovery options.
