☀️Tips for outdoor sun protection (uv rays can cause cancer if over exposed)☀️
• Apply your sunscreen to prevent damage from the sun. It is best to apply it indoors approximately 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Application continues Every two hours that you are outside. Making sure that the exposed skin is covered including the face, ears, neck and shoulders, arms, legs and feet. Use lip balm with UV protection as well! Put another application on after coming out of the water.
• SPF # can be deceiving because #30 blocks 97% while #50 blocks 98%; but #100 blocks 99%.
• If you have older bottles of sunscreen make sure they have NO OXYBENZONE, NONE, on the label. In 2021 it was discovered that the spray on (mostly) were the ones and everything with it was pulled on
The market.
Special note: if you have kids on a swim team, life guarding, or anyone in your family or friends who spends a lot of time outdoors with little protection there are some very helpful whole food supplements to control hypervitaminosis D and keep the minerals in the blood stream at therapeutic levels.
