A bit about minerals and sunscreen.
At lunch today, while sitting outside and enjoying the warm spring sunshine with my homeschool group, the subject of the sun, sun protection and vitamin D came up. Everyone is concerned with the damage the sun can do, but just perhaps we are a bit over the top? We need sun. We need vitamin D. My natural inclination is to say the sun feels good, and must be good for us. Must we slather ourselves with sunscreen every time we go outside? And what of the sunscreens we are using? What type of ingredients do they contain? Are they doing more harm than good? Hmmmmm, perhaps. As far as sunscreens go, check out this site and read the fabulous article about about the sun and healthy screens www.mercola.com. This site does a much better job at sharing the information that we need, so read up.
And, how about this.....did you know that Affordable Mineral Makeup is a natural sunscreen? Well, it is, with only a short list of ingredients:
~Titanium Dioxide also has waterproof and SPF properties while providing a Matte look.
~Mica has some transparent properties and allows the makeup to go on smoothly.~Iron Oxides give the makeup its pigment.
~Zinc Oxide is known for its healing properties in problem skin such as rosacea and acne, it has the ability to stay on even while sweating and swimming, as well as offers protection from the sun's harmful UV rays.
Pure and safe, you can feel good about going out into the sun, just with your make up on, and dahling...you look wonderful!
