We Detox Our Cars!

Everyone who owns a car understands that car oil gets dirty so the filter needs to be changes regularly. Unfortunately our bodies have no replaceable parts installed. Our bodies natural detox may be great but it does need a tube up every so often. Our homes have chemicals leaking out of nearly everything like our furniture, walls and even flooring so we absorbed much of these and our bodies detox systems can be pushed to their limits.

Having a healthy way to detox our bodies can be done with the help of natural items readily available at our local supermarkets or green grocer.

Should You Really Use That Moisturizer With Sunscreen Added?

By Peter Albertonach

Sunburn is bad for your skin, so should you use a moisturizer with sunscreen?

But believe it or not the answer isn't as clear as you might expect.

There's no doubt though that sunburn is really bad for your skin.

And if you want to make sure you're going to have older looking skin with sagging and wrinkles, dryness and lines, just start getting sunburned at an early age, and do it regularly.

Not to mention the risk of skin cancer.

So doesn't it make complete sense to use a moisturizer with an spf of 15 or even 30?

Not necessarily, though I'm certainly not saying that its fine to get sunburned.

Why isnt it a good idea to use a moisturizer with an spf factor? Because there is evidence that the daily use of sunscreens can be dangerous to your health, and even some suggestion that daily use of an spf moisturizer could lead to cancer.

That's not to say that it's proven, but it is certainly suspected by many scientists. Now if you use a sunscreen for, say, 5 or 6 times a year, then the risk is a little lower. But if you use a moisturizer with sunscreen added chances are you're going to be using it daily, so you're using a sunscreen daily.

There are different types of sunscreen. Particularly 2 different types, those that work in the skin once they have been absorbed into the skin, and those that stay on the surface of the skin and dont soak in, like zinc or titanium sunblocks.

If the sunscreen soaks in then a portion of them will get into your bloodstream. Possibly dangerous. And most skincare products with spf factors use the type that soaks in because it looks and feels better.

And of course all spf factor is produced by using synthetic chemicals, and you don't want to be getting chemicals into your bloodstream.

And there's more. If you block the sun to your face every day it's possible that you could start to suffer from vitamin D deficiency. There are studies that show that anything up to 60% of Americans suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D. (Though not all caused by sunscreen use by any means).

So what should you do?

Use the best moisturizer in the world that doesn't have a sunscreen. The manufacturer of the best skin care products actually doesn't use any sunscreens in their skin care products for all the reasons I've just outlined.

And wait till there's a day when you really think you need a spf factor, then use a sunscreen with either zinc or titanium. On other days you won't need one, and then you can stock up on that vitamin D.
