The Facts on Sunscreen

3/8/2012

True or False: Sunscreen Edition!
 
So, it’s that time of year again, spring break! And I am here to tell you the facts about sunscreen! Please keep all of these true and false facts in mind and remember to carry some sunscreen in your cute little beach bag and try not to burn!
 
1. All sunscreens work the same.
FALSE!
When looking in the sunscreen isles look for sunscreens that contain Zinc oxide, Avobenzone, Cinoxate, Oxybenzone, Octyl methoxycinnamate, and Titanium dioxide because they protect us from UVA and UVB rays, which are very dangerous to our young skin! These ingredients do not break down as easily as others and protect the best.
 
2. Spray sunscreen and cream sunscreens are equally as effective.
FALSE!
Cream sunscreen is more effective then spray sunscreen because it offers better coverage. Although for those hard to reach places doctors say it is better to use spray sunscreen than nothing at all. A scary fact about spray sunscreen is that the chemicals put in the sunscreen to make it spray more easily can be very dangerous to our lungs if inhaled. So wear sunscreen but take the time to rub it into your precious skin!
 
3. SPF means nothing. You shouldn’t pay attention to it.
FALSE!
