How to Choose a Sunscreen

Posted by admin

Watch this video for a demonstration of “How to Choose a Sunscreen”. To complete the task, you will need:

SPF 15 or higher
A sunscreen with micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
Broad-spectrum protection

Get started with the first step: Know the difference between sunscreen and sunblock: sunscreen absorbs ultraviolet rays; sunblock reflects them. Both protect your skin, but sunscreen takes about 20 minutes to start working.

For the complete guide, go to http://www.howcast.com/videos/205994-How-To-Choose-a-Sunscreen

    You should be in …
    You should be in the sun around 15-20 minutes without any sunscreen because sunscreen reduces your body’s ability to produce vitamin D by around 95%. UVB rays cause your skin to burn but they also initiate vitamin D production. Vitamin D is important because it is required to process calcium in your body and it helps keep your cells together. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to osteoporosis and according to a new study, may be the root cause of cancer.

    UVA rays are the harmful ones.
