There are many different ways to protect yourself from the Sun,

but how do we know what is best?! 
This girl definitely knows what's

best! Don't you think?

 
This lady thinks she is protecting her man from UV rays but in actuality she is preparing him for spontaneous combustion! Poor guy! He could catch on fire from the chemical content in the self proclaimed sunblock!

One man actually did! 
Here's the story!  YIKES!

That cheap block on the counters these days is down right nasty stuff and if you see this label...




it doesn't mean a thing! The company bought the label for thousands of dollars so that it's brand could look more reputable! The skin cancer foundation is just laughing all the way to the bank. I'm sorry for being so grim but we gotta educate ourselves people! Here are my recommendations...

1. Always use a physical block as opposed to a chemical block. A physical block uses only zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These minerals are beneficial to the skin and literally blocks the rays, whereas the chemicals from a chemical block absorb the rays into the skin and breaks up the UV to avoid damage, which is not very successful!

2. Anything over 35 SPF you are only getting a 1% or less of an increase in protection. It is just a marketing ploy if it says SPF 75. It makes no difference if it's 75 or 35.

3. Apply at least 20 minutes before going outdoors.

4. Where it every day!!! The UV still penetrates even when it's cloudy, raining, etc.

5. Brands to buy...Alba is inexpensive and good for the whole family but if you want a sunblock with a skin treatment chalk full of peptides, A, C, E, moisturizers and stem cells, it's Image skincare that I love! Image has a number of different blocks to try depending on your skin type. You are always welcome to try them before you buy them!
