please avoid spray on sunscreen!!

As if we haven't read enough bout the dangers of sunscreen there are still numerous people who aren't paying attention. When you are out in the sun your body temp heats up and the pores open. When our pores are open things are more readily absorbed into our largest organ (OUR SKIN). If you use sunscreen you are willingly accepting whatever chemicals straight into the bloodstream. Furthermore it has been proven that sun burns and cancer are more likely caused by rancid oil on ,or beneath, the skin as well as the chemicals that we ingest or place on the skin just prior to sun exposure. You heard it right...skin cancer is not caused by the sun! When we are exposed to the sun our body's natural defense is the natural oil that we have within the epidermis. If we consume bad fats or place petroleum byproducts on our skin they will go rancid under the sun's rays and cause us to burn and contribute to cancerous cells. This brings up the bane of my existence...spray on sunscreens :( They not only expose you and your loved ones but also me and mine when we are nearby. I've seen the mothers spraying indiscriminately and it's all I can do to keep from yelling at them to keep their chemicals in their own air space.  The harm that the spray sun screens can do to the lungs are enumerable and don't get me started on the hormone disruption in children. My answer for your conundrum is to go with an "all natural" sunscreen or just use coconut oil. I have tested this on myself myself and coconut oil prevents burns and leaves your skin silky smooth. Use common sense. Don't stay in direct sun for prolonged periods and keep yourself moisturized inside and out. JUST SAY NO TO SPRAY SUNSCREENS!

For some light reading from a third party source:  http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/sunscreens-exposed/sunscreens-exposed-9-surprising-truths/ . Do your own research. There is much to learn. Please pass this on and help me eradicate the spray sunscreens at our local pools.

  1. Well said...I have been hearing for years that the cause of skin cancer is the actual sunscreen itself not so much the sun! Thanks for spreading the word!
