My Healthy Habits

So it is summer time again and you are ready to get on in the sun and have a little fun. You forget your sunblock last year and ended up sun burnt to a crisp. More than likely you will be using sunblock to protect yourself from the sun this year. It doesn’t take more than once time to make you make the right choice. The UV Rays from the sun can drastically increase the aging of your skins and even cause skin cancer. Some sunblock contains synthetic chemicals that some people will have an allergic reaction to.

It is also much better for anyone who has extremely sensitive skin but needs and extremely strong sunblock. Organic sunblock is good for children as well.

Check the labels on the sunblock before buying it. You should avoid harmful chemicals such as cinnamates, salicylates, benzophenones and parabens. Avoid sunblocks with chemical preservatives. Also avoid sunblocks with artificial fragrances and chemical dyes. Zinc oxide is the most common chemical used to protect the skin from the so and has been proven to be safe so make sure it is use in your sunblock. It is estimated that a one forth to one third teaspoon of sunblock is enough for our faces.
