THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPF IN COSMETICS

March 06, 2017 | 10210 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.

I wish to put this out here to everyone who ever intends to go into cryptocurrency investment with little knowledge of how it works, I would advise you to seek more information before you invest your money into crypto as I was a victim of cryptocurrency fraud where I lost $157,000 worth of Bitcoins, and if not for the intervention of a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company, I would have lost my money for good. I went into cryptocurrency investment with little knowledge about crypto and was coined by a group of scammers. I’m truly grateful to (Recovery Hacker101) for restoring my crypto and helping me recover my money. If you have to invest in cryptocurrency, please be careful and seek more information, and if you’ve lost your money just like I did, I recommend you contact him to help you recover your money. recoveryhacker101@gmail.com

I’M Bayani Althea I’m from the Philippines but i reside in Canada. I was in total dismay when I lost my entire savings investing in cryptocurrency, I was contacted online by a lady through email pretending to be an account manager of a bank, who told me I could make double my savings through cryptocurrency investment, I never imagined it would be a scam and I was going to lose everything. It went on for weeks until I realized that I have been scammed. All hope was lost, I was devastated and broke, fortunately for me, I came across an article on my local bulletin about CYBERSPACE HACK PRO Bitcoin Recovery, I contacted them and provided all the information regarding my case, I was amazed at how quickly they recovered my cryptocurrency funds and was able to trace down those scammers. I’m truly grateful for their service and I recommend them to everyone who needs to recover their funds urge you to contact them if you have lost your bitcoin USDT or ETH through bitcoin investment.

I want to say a big thank you to Lord Bubuza, the powerful spell caster who completely turned my life around. I was at my lowest point broke, buried in debt, and feeling hopeless. Then I read stories about people winning the lottery after Lord Bubuza helped them. Out of desperation, I contacted him. He promised to help and gave me some lottery numbers after casting a lottery spell. I used those exact numbers and unbelievably, I WON $8 million, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I chose the lump sum payment of $4.8 million. Since then, everything changed. I paid off all my debts, bought a house, and finally gave my kids the life I always dreamed of. I’m beyond thankful. Lord Bubuza gave me a fresh start and I’ll always be grateful. If you need help, you can reach out to him via email: lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +1 365 808 5313 ..
