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.

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – From a Retired Sailor

My name is George Jenks, and I want to share something deeply personal that I hope might help someone out there. A few months ago, I fell victim to a binary trading scam that ended up costing me around $180,000 worth of Bitcoin. It was one of the most painful and disheartening experiences of my life. I truly believed I was making a smart investment—everything looked legitimate, from the website to the so-called “financial advisors” who kept reassuring me. But the moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything went quiet. They stopped replying, and reality hit me hard. I had been scammed.

I was devastated. Not just because of the money, but because of how helpless I felt. After doing some research and reading stories from people in similar situations, I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cyber Service. At first, I didn’t get my hopes up—let’s be honest, after losing that much, it’s hard to trust anyone. But I figured I had nothing more to lose, so I reached out to them at [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

From the beginning, they were incredibly professional and straightforward. They didn’t promise miracles, but they did assure me they would do everything in their power to trace and recover the stolen assets. And that’s exactly what they did. Through careful blockchain analysis, technical expertise, and persistent work, they were able to track down the stolen funds and successfully recover a large portion of what I had lost. It felt like waking up from a nightmare.

To this day, I still don’t know how to properly thank them. What they did went beyond just helping me get my money back—they gave me back my peace of mind. The best way I can show my appreciation is by recommending them to anyone who’s going through something similar. If you’ve been scammed or lost money in crypto fraud, I strongly encourage you to contact them. Their email is [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]
WhatsApp:+1(260) 408-3923

They made a real difference in my life, and I believe they can do the same for others.

Hello everyone,
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Jakuta, a powerful spell caster who helped me reunite with my ex-lover after a painful breakup. For six long months, I thought our relationship was over, but Dr. Jakuta’s spell brought us back together. Within 48 hours of the spell being cast, my ex reached out, apologizing for the hurt and promising to make amends. I was overjoyed and welcomed her back into my life. If you’re facing similar relationship challenges or other difficulties, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Jakuta. His spell casting abilities are truly remarkable.
You can reach Dr. Jakuta via WhatsApp: +2349161779461
Email: doctorjakutaspellcaster24@gmail.com

All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across ETHICALAHCKERS which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life . I recommend you consult ETHICALHACKERS009 @ gmail.com or whatsapp +14106350697 if you need access to your partner’s phone or any kind of hacking, they carry out all kinds of hacking job
