SUNCARE free from chemical filters
Sunscreens have been on the market for years, however now there is new information regarding the differences between chemical sunscreens and natural Titanium Dioxide sunscreens.
What sun protection products are the most effective against aging? Can the sun still be damaging to the skin even with a sunscreen on?
Sun Protections with organic Aloe Extract, Almond oil and B-Carotene “Botanicals of Life” contain the richest known source of anti-oxidant beta-carotene, and help protect skin against free radical and premature aging. These benefits are enhanced by a new generation of micronized and micro-dispersed Titanium-Dioxide (ultra-fine mineral pigment of natural origin) that act as a protective barrier against harmful UV rays that cause wrinkles. Titanium Dioxide forms an invisible protective shield on the surface of the skin that physically deflects the sun, whereas the chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays allowing them to penetrate the skin and damage the collagen beneath the skins surface. Chemical sunscreens (such as Banana Boat, Coppertone etc) irritate the skin and researchers have noticed the use of chemical sunscreens has decreased water retention in the skin giving the appearance of an orange peel texture to the skin’s surface.
NATURAL SUNSCREENS IN MAKE-UP
Natural Titanium Dioxide is also found in many foundations and powders on the market today, and these are one of the best sources of sun protection in latest discoveries. Dermatologist are recommending foundations to their patients for extra protection because it guarantees a natural and efficient, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that helps to deflect the suns harmful rays.
Researchers have also concluded that sun tanning can be beneficial. The Vitamin D that comes from natural sunlight helps heal the body, boosts the immune system, energizes organs, and enhances healthy bone and tissue. Although beneficial sun tanning should be in moderation, you do not want to burn the skin. A Sunburn is the quickest way to age the skins surface. It causes the breakdown of collagen and can start forming wrinkles prematurely. If you are starting to tan for summer use an 8 to15 sun block and only tan for 10 to 15 minutes. As long as you do not sunburn the skin, it will stay healthy.
ALTERNATIVE TO TANNING
SUNLESS TANNING CREAMS
Self-tanners in a clear cream formula are highly recommended. Our sunless tanning cream by Ongrien Advanced Skin Care works with your own melanin in your skin producing a natural tanned appearance and does not rub off on clothing. Self- tanners that have a tan pigment will tan you immediately but will wash off the next day and come off on clothing.
Bottom line is enjoy the summer, be smart, read sunscreen labels use Titanium Dioxide everyday and make sure you have lots of protection to avoid sun damage.
