Like it or not, summer must end. Don’t fret: outdoor fun is possible all year round. Fall is the time of leaf piles, camping, hiking, football and kickball.
Even as the temperature drops, it’s easy to overextend your sun exposure. But we’ll walk you through how to protect yourself – from the sun and dangerous chemicals, too.
Natural sunlight’s potential to harm you has really been blown out of proportion in more recent years.
The sun is healthy for you! It’s all about SAFE sun exposure (not tanning nonsense).
BUT, thanks to many doctors, health officials, advertisements, beauty experts, corporations, and well-meaning friends, YOU have been told that you need to stay out of the sun.
Little scientific evidence justifies the many health campaigns that urge you to completely avoid the sun: overdosing on sunscreen just doesn’t make sense. Study after study shows the benefits of a little rays.
Many sunscreen brands are still made with ingredients that are potentially harmful to you and the environment.
Looking for a sustainable and chemical-free solution to sunscreen? The Environmental Working Group releases an annual guide to the best sunscreens.
The best way to avoid unwanted sun exposure is to cover up!
Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and using a natural, non-chemical sunscreen can reduce the risks of the harmful effects of the sun.
Readers, don’t be afraid of the sun, embrace it!
