Is using sunscreen a part of your daily beauty regimen? If not, it definitely should be, since using sunscreen is essential for a healthy body. Sunscreen reduces the risk of cell carcinoma, so adding it your daily routine is a must. It is important to stay covered up as much as possible, stay out of direct sunlight during the hottest times of the day 10am – 4pm and take the time to visit Skin Deep to get current sunscreen ratings and find a great natural sunscreen that you protect your body without harming it.
Unfortunately, the higher the SPF on traditional sunscreens, the higher amount of chemicals that it contains. Conventional sunscreens contains phthalates, diethanolamine and benzophenone oxybenzone, which are all harmful to your health. (See my complete list of personal care product ingredients to avoid here.) Also, conventional sunscreen contaminates our water supply when we bathe and swim, therefore endangering the lives of our marine mammal friends.
