THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 10184 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.

It all started one afternoon when I was using my computer. Suddenly, a pop-up alert appeared on my screen, claiming that my computer was “infected with Bitcoin mining malware.” My heart raced as I read the alarming message. I had heard about malware before, and the thought of my personal information being compromised sent a wave of panic through me. The pop-up wouldn’t go away, and it displayed a phone number for “Microsoft Support,” urging me to call immediately for assistance. WHATSAPP : +1 (581) 256‑1989‬‬ I hesitated, feeling a mix of fear and confusion, but the urgency of the situation pushed me to pick up the phone. When I called, a man with a calm and authoritative voice answered, claiming to be a Microsoft support agent. WEBSITE: ‪https://chaintraceassetrecovery.com He spoke with such confidence that I found myself believing him. He assured me that he could help resolve the issue and began guiding me through a series of steps. He instructed me to download remote access software so he could take control of my computer. ‬‬ EMAIL: chaintraceasset@post.com I felt a knot in my stomach, but he reassured me that it was necessary to fix the problem. Trusting his words, I followed his instructions, thinking I was doing the right thing. TELEGRAM: https://t.me/CHAINTRACE_ASSET_RECOVERYOnce he had access to my computer, he started navigating through my files and programs, pointing out various issues that made me believe my computer was indeed compromised. I felt increasingly helpless as he manipulated my system. Then, he mentioned that I needed to secure my cryptocurrency wallet. I had recently started using it, and the thought of losing my funds terrified me. He convinced me that the malware could drain my wallet, and I needed to act fast. In a moment of panic, I provided him with my wallet information, believing I was protecting my savings. I watched in horror as he transferred my hard-earned money into his own accounts. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I had been scammed. After the call ended, I tried to regain control of my computer, but it was too late. The damage was done, and I felt a deep sense of violation and embarrassment. In the days that followed, I learned that I was not alone. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, a cybersecurity firm, was working tirelessly to combat this type of fraud. They collaborated with Europol to trace the operation back to a call center in Poland, identifying over 2,500 victims like me across Europe. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY efforts were instrumental in uncovering the extent of the scam. They analyzed the malware’s command-and-control servers and gathered evidence that helped law enforcement freeze the accounts where the stolen funds had been transferred. Thanks to their hard work, some of the stolen money was recovered, providing a glimmer of hope for victims like me. While I was grateful for the recovery efforts, the emotional toll of the experience lingered. I never thought I would be a victim of such a scam, and I wish I had been more cautious. I hope that by sharing my story, I can help others avoid falling into the same trap and raise awareness about the vital work that organizations like CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, are doing to protect individuals from cybercrime.
