Whether you are traveling or not, at the beach in the blaring sun or taking a walk in overcast skies you should always wear your sunscreen.
For a short period of time I worked for a dermatologist. Now I don’t want to lecture you, but skin cancer is a reallllly scary and very real risk. I quickly learned sunscreen should be an important part of your daily routine, all the time. It was shocking how many people came in for an annual routine skin check and were diagnosed with some form of skin cancer. It was very surreal, these people didn’t have any idea!
When I first learned about the sunscreen brand, MelanSol I was pretty impressed. It is different and revolutionary because:
It’s specifically formulated to help your body protect itself from skin cancer in two different ways, instead of just one. The first level of protection is zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, natural active ingredients that safely reflect a high percentage of UV rays away from your skin. The second level of protection, is a special combination of potent all natural antioxidants that help your body fight the buildup of free radicals–rogue molecules that form on your skin when its exposed to UV rays.
Recent studies have concluded that chemicals contained in traditional sunscreens can be harmful to your body and the environment as they decompose–possibly contributing to skin cancer. Your skin is the largest organ your body has and what you put on your skin is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
**Please note, the sunscreen picture is for effect. I put it on thick for the picture, but it goes on clear once you rub it in! **
MelanSol sunscreen has 100% all natural ingredients (what I like to hear with products I am applying each and every day!!!). It’s completely free of chemical active ingredients, synthetic preservatives, colors and scents. It can be applied under your makeup and will last you for the long run.
MelanSol® sunscreens are safe because they are biodegradable and CONTAIN NO HORMONE-ACTIVE UV-Filters OR CHEMICALS that can break down under exposure to the UV rays and pollute oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Chemical UV filters behave, in most cases, like strong estrogen and have demonstrated hormone activity in lab tests. Several of these ingredients have been found in mother’s breast milk.
Because it contains NO CHEMICALS of any kind, it won’t burn your eyes and can also be used on your lips!
Now, I am busy like I’m sure you are, and sometime just don’t want to make the extra effort to put it on, but that is why you should invest in a good sunscreen that will last so you don’t have to reapply!
MelanSol has some great suncare products for travel, the moisturizer is the best for keeping skin hydrated during long periods. For casual exposure, or during trips the SPF-10 or 25 will not make you feel like your are using a goopy sunscreen under your nice clothes. They also just released a small carry-on SPF-20 in a 2 oz. bottle. It is carry-on ready, highly protective, and perfect for travel/vacation use.
I recommend MelanSol for many reasons, but number one the fact that it is 100% Natural Sunscreen, is safe for use on face & body. It give you UV protection, is hydrating and it’s a must for traveling this summer!
