So, yesterday . . . we discovered the connection between ETHANOL . . . the lymphatic system . . . our skin . . . and SKIN CANCER . . .
So, today . . . let's add to this equation . . . "SUNSCREENS" . . .
Now . . . the "CHEMICALS" in most sunscreens are . . .
Avobenzone
Oxybenzone
Octocrylene
Octinoxate
Octisalate
Homosalate
Titanium dioxide
Which "ALL" . . . cause "chemical CHANGES to our skin . . .
And "IF" . . . that's not bad enough . . . some of these "toxic chemicals" . . . break down into "BENZENE" . . . which again increases the risk of ALL CANCERS in the body!!!!
Now . . . the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information also states:
("Sunscreens" modify the body's "SKIN BARRIER")
You see. . . "sunscreens" change the "skin barrier" that PROTECTS us from disease and hormonal changes . . .
And with this . . . sunscreen chemicals are absorbed into the skin and our bloodstream causing havoc to our health.
NOW . . . LISTEN UP PEOPLE . . .
Another element in "sunscreen" is "ETHANOL" . . .
"Ethanol" is ADDED to our sunscreen . . . which is many times listed as . . . "alcohol denat". ethyl alcohol or just "alcohol" . . . as a "solvent" to help dissolve and spread sunscreen ingredients . . . making the product feel lighter and easier to apply.
You see . . . "ethanol" (alcohol) . . . acts as a SKIN PENETRATION ENHANCER . . . .
So, NOT ONLY . . . is our poor skin EXPOSED to "ethanol" via our drinking habits . . .
When we use "sunscreens" . . . this "ethanol" is being absorbed into the skin . . . ALLOWING the carcinogens from the "SUNSCREEN" to ALSO be ABSORBED!!!!!
These "sunscreens" and its "ethanol" can ALSO . . . cause irritation, dermatitis and psoriasis . . . which can "increase" . . . SKIN DAMAGE . . . "increasing" the risk of SKIN CANCER!!!
Even the U.S. National Library of Medicine says . . .
"Ethanol can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. potentially leading to more severe sunburns and increase the risk of sunburn-related complications. Studies have shown that combining ethanol WITH UV exposure can INCREASE the risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers."
So, what do "we" do to protect our skin???
We ADD a HIGHER . . . SPF (Sun Protection Factor) . . . thinking we're doing the "right" thing to protect our skin . . .
Even our government KNOWS sunscreens are bad for us . . .
But, are they banning "ethanol" in our sunscreen or all these carcinogens???
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
And what about all the "ethanol" that's in the sunscreen ADDED to our MAKEUP . . . that we're using EVERYDAY ladies???
And for that matter . . . what about the "ethanol" that in "makeup" ITSELF???
Well . . . tomorrow, let's continue to talk about our "skin barrier"!
