Personal Care Week

SUNSCREEN
This week I’m going to blog about a different personal care product everyday. Since summer is on the way, let’s think about sunscreen today. Sunscreen encourages a false sense of security as we typically put on less than we should (and miss certain areas!) and we stay out longer than is safe.
The chemicals that provide sun protection can also be irritating to the skin and irritated skin is more susceptible to sun damage.
Recent research suggests that these chemicals are hormone-disruptors that persist in your body and the environment.
There are some great alternatives as follows:
Lavara has a great line of suncreams: www.lavera.com
Aubrey Organics has a great selection too: www.aubrey-organics.com
I also love Ecolani chemical-free sunscreen, available at: www.itssimplynatural.com
