Natural Methods to Protect Yourself From The Sun
Are you using sunscreen when you go out of the house? You must! After all, exposure to the sun is a big contributor to dark spots, wrinkles, and premature aging. The question is, is your sunscreen really protecting you from the sun or is it doing you more harm than good?
If you are using a chemically-formulated sunscreen, then you are not doing your skin any favor at all. Why? Because among the active ingredients that compose chemically-formulated sunscreens are:
• PABA, which is known to be both a mutagen and carcinogen that damages the human cell DNA,
• Benzophenone, which absorbs ultraviolet light but breaks down into free radicals causing skin aging and/or cancer, and
• Triethanolamine, a known carcinogen when combined with nitrites
Most sunscreens also contain SLS,DEA, parabens, propylene glycol, and alcohol which are toxic to the body.
When choosing a sunscreen product, therefore, look for one with 100% natural ingredients, such as shea butter, cocoa butter, virgin coconut oil, almond oil, jasmine oil, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and natural extracts. Such a product guarantees 100% protection from the sun without compromising your health in the process.
