SUMMER IS ALMOST UPON US!
When you’re shopping for sunscreen, it’s easy to get lost in the lists of ingredients that no one can pronounce and the labels covered in scientific mumbo jumbo. But if you value natural beauty and healthy alternatives to traditional cosmetics, look for products that are not only good for you, but also good for the environment. Because when you go swimming, what you put on your skin goes into the water with you.
Mineral sunscreens contain ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide – a good alternative. Typical ‘chemical’ sunscreens may be deemed safe for ‘humans,’ but are harmful to marine life.
Always use SPF 30 or higher.
Use sunscreens WITHOUT fragrance. Fragrances can cause allergic reactions.
“Prevention Magazine” has compiled a list of the most ‘natural’ sunscreens. Thought we’d pass them along to you.
