THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 10241 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.

Hire a Bitcoin Recovery Expert Solution: Best Crypto Recovery Services:
Please be careful when individuals solicit your funds or when investment platforms promise extraordinary gains. Approximately one month ago, I identified an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency. I reached out to a broker I had seen featured in YouTube videos and proceeded to invest a substantial amount, roughly $787,000, which I transferred in Bitcoin. My account was subsequently frozen, and I was asked to provide additional funds before being permitted to withdraw, which made me aware that I had been defrauded. I happened to encounter a Google listing for DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT; placing some trust in myself, I contacted them without delay, explained my circumstances, and forwarded all relevant information I possessed. In less than 48 hours, my Bitcoin was successfully traced, reclaimed, and recovered back to my wallet. Kudos to the team of DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for their professionalism and honesty.

My name is Desire Moreau, I’m 42 years old and I live in Lyon, France. In late 2024, like many others, I wanted to secure my family’s future and I fell into the trap of a fake cryptocurrency investment group on Telegram. It started innocently, a woman named Claire added me to a private group called Omega Signals VIP. They posted daily proof of 15-30 % weekly returns, screenshots of luxury lifestyles, and live trading sessions. The admin claimed to be a former Goldman Sachs trader based in Singapore. Within weeks I felt I knew everyone in the group. They were kind, patient, and celebrated every time someone posted a withdrawal receipt (which were all fake). I started with €5,000, then added €18,000, then €37,000 more, almost all my life savings plus money I borrowed from my sister. In three months I had transferred €87,400 to various wallets they provided. When I finally asked to withdraw €120,000 of profit, the excuses began, tax fees, wallet upgrade, compliance hold. Then the group disappeared and my contacts blocked me. I was devastated, ashamed, and couldn’t sleep. I filed reports with the police and Action Fraude, but they said recovery was almost impossible. For weeks I searched online every night and discovered Alpha Spy Nest, a forensic digital investigations team specializing in cryptocurrency scams. I sent them a desperate email at 3 a.m. Within 24 hours, they replied. They asked for all chat exports, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and screenshots. Their fee was reasonable and success-based. For the first time someone explained exactly what had happened, it was a classic pig butchering scheme run by a criminal syndicate in South-East Asia. For six weeks their blockchain analysts traced every USDT and ETH transaction through mixers, exchanges, and OTC desks. They built an airtight forensic report and worked with French cybercrime units and international partners. In September 2025, €72,300 was frozen in a Binance account belonging to one of the money mules. Thanks to Alpha Spy Nest’s evidence and relentless follow-up, the funds were released and returned to me in October, minus their agreed fee. I lost €15,000 forever, but I got back most of my money when everyone said it was gone forever. More importantly, I regained hope and dignity. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover funds, they gave me back my life. If you’ve been scammed on Telegram or anywhere else, don’t give up, contact real forensic experts like Alpha Spy Nest, via: (www.alphaspynest.org).They are the reason I can look my children in the eyes again.
