Suntan or Tanning – The Dark Side (Female)

Posted by admin


Dark Side of Tanning campaign

There is nothing healthy about a TAN

Australia has the highest skin cancer rate of any country in the world

Protect yourself in five ways from skin cancer:

1. Put on a broad-brimmed hat that shades your face, neck and ears
2. Wear sun protective clothing that covers as much of your body as possible
3. Seek shade
4. Wear wrap-around sunglasses
5. Apply SPF30+ broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen liberally to clean, dry skin, at least 20 minutes before being exposed to the sun, and reapply at least every two hours when outdoors

My OWN quote… “research the Suntan lotions before you buy it as there are bad toxins in many of them so buy a Sunscreen that is healthy for your skin and NOT toxic”

Always prepare for exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun when going outdoors, even for a brief period of time, by undertaking multiple sun protective behaviours.

Avoid going outdoors unprotected between 10am 3pm when ultraviolet radiation is the strongest.

Sunscreen is not adequate protection on its own and should not be used to extend the time you spend in the sun.

Sunbeds and solaria also emit ultraviolet radiation, so be aware of the risks ociated with tanning.

Wee still need to get a small amount of sun for the Vitamin D but cover up Avoid going outdoors unprotected between 10am 3pm when ultraviolet radiation is the strongest.

Is there any sun protection that you apply once that lasts all day (ie boots soltan once) but that is natural?

Posted by admin

Would be good if it was clear as well so it didn't stain clothes!

Natural sun protection is usually composed of two main ingredients: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide. These ingredients are usually found in mineral foundation (such as Bare Minerals.)

If you want some good natural liquid sunscreen, I would suggest:
1. Safer Sunscreen by UV Natural (sunscreen protection varries from each different product)
2. Natural Sun SPF 25 by Aubrey Organics
3. Saving Face SPF 10 by Aubrey Organics
4. Badger Balm SPF 30
5. Moisterizing Sunscreen SPF 18 by California Baby
6. Ultra Sensitive Faceblock SPF 35 by Dermalogica
7. Daily UV Protection SPF 30 by Dr. Brandt
8. Instant Mineral SPF 30 by Peter Thomas Roth
9. Uber-Dry Sunscreen SPF 30 by Peter Thomas Roth
10. ACTIVE Sunblock SPF 40 by JASON
11. Face Factor SPF 30 by KISS my FACE
12. Sun Spray SPF 30 by KISS my FACE
13. Hot Spots SPF 30 by KISS my FACE

Good luck!
