Sun Relief.. What's Best & Why Broadband Now??

New Rules on Sunscreen.... 
             The Food and Drug Administration.

Apparently, claims like:

• moisturizing your skin
• to protecting against 37 different spectrums of light
• being waterproof
• sweat proof
• bulletproof, and so on.

Will not be enough!
Now all Sunscreens must offer "BroadBand Protection" , if that's what they claim! Sunscreens must equally protect against two kinds of the sun’s radiation: 
UVB (the kind that causes sunburns) and UVA (the kind that causes wrinkles).

No more Waterproof claims... because that's simply not true. You can’t actually have sunscreen that is water or sweat proof, it’s impossible. What the FDA will allow companies to do is make claims on how many minutes the product will remain water resistant based on clinical tests.

No claims that a product will prevent sunburn or reduce risks of skin cancer and early skin aging unless it has an SPF rating of at least 15.

Now... Is Your Sunscreen Safe?
40 to 60 percent of all sunscreens on the market today are made with a laundry list of chemicals.  The most common chemical ingredients in non-mineral sunscreens include octinoxate, oxybenzone (a form of benzophenone), octisalate, and avobenzone.
In addition to increased cancer rates, these unstable chemicals have also been linked to hormone imbalance, dysfunctions in sexual development and function, as well as birth defects because of their estrogen-like effects.

Scientists have also been researching the ability of these chemicals to permeate the skin and enter the bloodstream, causing a slew of other damaging effects. Each of these chemicals – oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone – work as penetration enhancers, meaning they are easily absorbed by the skin, and the longer they sit on the skin, the more threat they pose.

The Solution....

Remember to always opt for an SPF30 and avoid chemical-based formulas. Instead seek out formulas with a natural zinc barrier like Aubrey Organics Natural Sun SPF 30+ Active Lifestyles Tropical Scent. 

NaturalOrganicBody provides formulas which are mineral-based and use zinc,  a natural reflective shield, blocking the sun’s damaging rays without injecting the body with harmful chemicals.

Here are a few ideas for achieving a desired texture, color or outcome. For instance, to eliminate dryness or create a creamier feel, 100% Pure Argon Oil Hydrating Facial Moisturizer SPF30 will leave you feeling smooth and protected. If you are looking for a tinted formula with SPF try 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer 

There’s no question – UV protection is absolutely essential.. especially when most people don’t use enough sunscreen, the American Academy of Dermatology claims that we use about one fourth of the amount of sunscreen we should use and we don’t re-apply as often as we should either.
So, remember to slather up before you hit the sun this summer!

Organic Facial Scrubs, Peel Masks & Polish Options

Why pay more... when you don't have to.

         Get even better results than w/Professional Peels

Here are The Facts: 

A young person naturally exfoliates and replaces the epidermis every 28 days which contributes to a youthful appearance. 

As we age however, our skin “turns over” at a much slower rate…as slow as every 90 to 120 days, resulting in dull, ruddy appearing skin.

That's why Facial Scrubs, Peels, Masks & Polishes can help rejuvenate your skin by gently and safely removing the “old” skin and stimulating growth of new skin! 

So it would be advantageous to exfoliate, peel or polish your skin.

Facial Peels & Masks:

Usually these facial peels & masks come in a powder form and require water to create a paste which is then applied to the facial skin. Left on for a period of 5-10 minutes the natural enzymes work into the skin pores to improve skins tone and texture. Pineapple and Papaya enzymes are common forms of peels to brighten and smooth dull skin.

 Nutrient rich Seaweed Masks detox facial pores, purge out toxins, and leave your complexion fresh and pure while seaweeds nourish your skin with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Cloth face masks are an ultra-pampering way to deliver essential nutrients to your skin.
Naturalis EASY PACK FaceLift Mask & Cream is a new anti-aging face mask that provides the face with super nutrients to hydrate, regenerate and moisturize the face in a rapid, clean, & easy application. You will get the most from the cloth face mask, or any other, if you clean your skin first, then tone/clarify. Soak the cloth mask in the anti-aging nutrient rich formula, then take the face mask and apply to the chin first, then the nose. This makes it easier to spread the mask out over the rest of the face.

Facial Scrubs:

Cleanse and exfoliate the skin with exfoliating properties like jojoba beads or fruit acids in a creamy based scrub. Most facial scrubs are gentle enough for all skin types.
