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.

My husband and I lost $1.1m worth of Bitcoins to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months back, we saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency to make huge profits from our investments. We contacted a broker online who was pretending to be an account manager for a forex trading firm, we invested a huge part of our retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a scam to steal away our money. After weeks of trying to withdraw, this broker continued to request more money until we were broke and in debt, it felt as if we are losing our life. Fortunately for us, we saw an article about Infinix Web Recovery, we were not in a hurry to contact them but we did some research about their services and found out they could help us recover our money from these scammers, we contacted Infinix Web Recovery and in a space of 72 hours, Infinix Web Recovery was able to recover everything, this company did a thorough investigation with the information we provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to us, it felt so unreal how they were able to recover everything we have lost. We are truly grateful for the help of Infinix Web Recovery and we are putting this out there to everyone who needs their services.

CONSULT A CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT/FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.

Throughout my life, I’ve always been passionate about supporting startups and believed deeply in the transformative power of innovation. I’ve long admired entrepreneurs who take risks to build something meaningful and change the world. So, when I came across an online crowdfunding platform showcasing a promising tech startup, I felt compelled to invest. The startup’s pitch was compelling, with a clear roadmap, a dynamic team, and what appeared to be a viable, innovative product. Convinced by their vision, I decided to invest $47,000. I was genuinely excited about the potential impact of my contribution and thrilled to be part of something groundbreaking. As the months passed, things began to unravel. Initially, I received regular updates from the company, keeping me informed and reassured. But over time, those communications became sporadic and eventually stopped altogether. Concerned, I reached out to the crowdfunding platform for clarification. Unfortunately, their responses were vague and unhelpful, leaving me confused and anxious. Then came the worst possible outcome: both the startup and the platform disappeared entirely. They vanished without a trace. My heart sank as I realized I might have lost my hard-earned savings. The emotional toll was immense. I felt betrayed, overwhelmed, and utterly lost. I spent countless hours researching legal options and trying to understand what had happened, but each path led to more frustration and hopelessness. While browsing online i found Folkwin Expert Recovery review in a desperate attempt to find help. The testimonials on their website sparked a glimmer of hope within me. After a brief but reassuring consultation with their team, I decided to move forward. From the beginning, Folkwin Expert Recovery was empathetic. They immediately took action, clearly understanding the urgency of my situation. They worked tirelessly, keeping me updated and calm throughout the process. Amazingly, after just two intense days, I received news I had almost given up on: they had successfully recovered the full amount of my investment. I was flooded with relief and gratitude. Folkwin Expert Recovery not only returned my money they restored my faith in justice. If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up. Folkwin Expert Recovery might just be your best hope, as they were mine.

I noticed my husband was cheating on me and no longer committed to our marriage. When i asked him what the problem was he told me that he is not happy and he is asking for a divorce. It broke me into pieces because he was the only man i have ever been with. I was looking for something online when i saw an article how Dr Ilekhojie helped so many people in similar situation like mine, i contacted him immediately telling him about my problem.
He made consultations and performed a reconciliation ritual. All he asked of me, i did it out of complete trust for him and in exactly 3 days, my husband returned home from work and asked that i forget completely about the divorce and he wants us to put our minds together and make our marriage work. Everything went well because of the intervention of Dr Ilekhojie. Kindly make contact with him if you have problems in your marriage or relationship.
