Steps Toward Safer Use of Personal & Body Care

• Avoid products that include parabens and phthalates as ingredients.
• Avoid scents and other products with perfume.
• Look for "fragrance-free" products rather than unscented items.
• Avoid nail paints and hairspray, which include phthalates and other toxins.
• Avoid cosmetics that hold placenta, placental extract, estrogen, or other hormones.
• Cover up with garments and umbrellas instead of soaking in chemical sunscreen and using sunscreen products that contain zinc oxide.
• Take quicker showers to reduce the length of time you're inhaling airborne chemicals or receiving them through open pores.

FAQs for Personal Care

What are the essential parts of a skincare routine?

Since sun damage increases the risk of skin cancer, as well as skin problems ranging from wrinkles to dark spots, wearing sunscreen daily is essential. 

How can I avoid wrinkles?

Wrinkles are a natural result of aging, but you can delay their onset or minimize their appearance. To do so, limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen every day, and use skin products that contain antioxidants and retinoids, which can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

What should I do about dark spots?

UV exposure and hormonal changes are two causes of dark spots. Avoiding the sun and wearing sunscreen can prevent new dark spots from forming, while exfoliating regularly or using prescription medications may help treat the existing spots you already have. 

What’s the best way to handle sensitive skin?

Be gentle with it! Always wash sensitive skin gently, and never use harsh cleansers. Avoid products that contain irritating substances. Instead, seek out those that are specifically labeled for sensitive skin.

Do I need to wear sunscreen every day?

In short, yes! If you care about your skin, wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 is the one thing you can do to protect it most. Sunscreen helps decrease skin cancer risk and other adverse effects, including wrinkles, fine lines, freckles, and sallowness.
