Playing in the Sun Doesn’t Need to Mean Skin Cancer

August 4, 2017 by Juliann Leave a Comment

 

If you are like me, you enjoy a lot of quality time outdoors, especially when the weather is beautiful and sunny.

However, many women, (myself included until recently) are unaware of proper sunscreen usage guidelines. Sun exposure is the biggest cause of skin cancer. Over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined.

NO-AD would like to change that. Orlando-based NO-AD, is the sunscreen brand that costs less per ounce because “no advertising” means the brand doesn’t buy expensive TV, print or radio ads, passing the savings on to consumers. I think that is a brilliant concept! Advertising by not advertising.

 

As a mom of four children, I thought I knew everything about applying sunscreen properly to myself and my family. It turns out that I wasn’t doing things quite correctly. The infographic below gives a useful guideline for proper sunscreen application. Studies have shown that fewer than half of well-meaning parents know the correct amount to apply and more than half think the proper time to apply sunscreen is “as soon as they start feeling their skin burning.”

I sure wish I had this information when I was a teenager. I was one of those girls who applied baby oil to my entire body and laid for hours in the sun without any form of sunscreen. I received many sunburns and I now suffer from sun spots and plenty of freckles. (Not many wrinkles though, thankfully!) I am sure that I will face skin cancer at some point in my life. At least it is not too late protect my children from the sun’s damaging rays.

 

 

Florida-based dermatologist Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick who, being on the Sun Coast, sees many melanoma patients. (He is shown in the infographic above.) Find out more about him here.

No-AD  has a great variety of sun protection products. I have tried a few of them, and I completely trust this amazing brand. I have been using it for years now.

I love No-Ad’s Ocean Potion sunscreen. Ocean Potion is known for easy application and a memorable orange-cream fragrance. This brand pioneered the use of innovative ingredients such as sea kelp extract and Vitamin D3.

I also love Clear Zinc Oxide Face Potion SPF45 . This creamy zinc makeup artist fave goes on clear, dries matte and works wonderfully under makeup. Provides SPF45 protection. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and very affordable!

If you’re thinking self-tanners, Ocean Potion EverGlow Extreme Self-Tanning Lotion has a terrific mango-lime fragrance. Ocean Potion Protect & Nourish Lotion is amazing as well.
