Temperatures are on the rise (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) and the sun can really pack a punch especially during the heat of the day. Make sure your SPF is doing its job without those pesky chemicals.
Many brands of sunblock contain chemicals with estrogenic properties – meaning they can be endocrine disruptors, which confuse the body's natural hormonal balance. Look for sunscreens that use titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. These are inert compounds that will reflect the sun and keep you protected from both UVB (the rays that can cause sunburn) and UVA (the rays that can cause long-term skin damage).
