Sunscreens This summer, millions will be gearing up for the great outdoors. One of the most popular items that will be purchased is sunscreen. Everywhere we are constantly warned of the dangers associated with the sun, so it makes sense to purchase sunscreen to protect ourselves from dangerous UV rays. It is important that you know and understand there are dangers associated with sunscreens because of the chemicals used in the products. While it is important to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun, it is best to find alternatives. The following are a list of chemicals in some sunscreens that pose a potential hazard. 1. Oxybenzone 2. PABA 3. Titanium Dioxide 4. Dioxybenzone Additionally, it was discovered that these chemicals also block vitamin D which is produced in the skin of vertebrates after exposure to ultraviolet B light. Vitamin D insufficiency can result in thin, brittle, or misshapen bones just to name a few things that occur from not enough Vitamin D. Protecting Your Skin Without Sunscreen 1. Avoid the sun during 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. 2. Wear a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing. 3. You can also use sunscreens that do not contain the aforementioned chemicals (such as Phoenicia Shea Butter)! Reposted in part from articlesbase.com |
