Why Use Natural Sunscreen?
Why Use Natural Sunscreen?Author: Amanda StoneSunscreen, or sunblock, is a lotion, gel, or spray that is applied to exposed skin to protect it from damaging sunlight. These products work by absorbing or reflecting the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation to protect against sunburn. Most experts recommend use of sunscreen when in the sun. Ideally, we should spend less time exposing ourselves to the sun and protect our exposed areas with clothing, hats, and shade covers, but this is not always feasible. It is important to follow the recommendations on the bottle and reapply sunscreen accordingly for the best possible protection.Many consumers are looking for natural alternatives to chemical sunscreens. Just as prescription drugs can be delivered through our skin with a patch - other body care products are also absorbed by the skin. When using products made with synthetic ingredients, these chemicals may be absorbed into the body. Therefore, organic and all natural skin care products are highly recommended and preferred by many consumers.Levels of sunscreen effectiveness are measured by the sun protection factor, or SPF. The SPF level refers to the amount of ultraviolet radiation that can reach the skin before sunburn starts. As the SPF number increases, the more protection the sunblock will offer against UV rays. The SPF number does not reflect the amount of time a person can stay in the sun's exposure.Sunscreen protection is related to several factors including the amount of product applied to the skin, the frequency of reapplication, the type of outdoor activities involved in, and the skin type of the user.
