SUNSCREENS – Protection of Poison? While the complexity and controversy of this topic remain fresh to this day, are you for or against the debate of using sunscreens?
The concept of sun protection sparked back in early civilization when people used plant extracts, essential oils, flowers, rice, and more to prevent harmful rays from damaging the skin. Those ingredients are still in use but the only difference is now they are mostly chemically derived by different chemists giving rise to the debate.
Here's the problem you face: One group of people believes the higher the SPF, the better the protection from the UV rays without considering the other factors that might affect the skin. In contrast, the other group deems sunscreens as outright dangerous with toxic ingredients.
Luckily for you, there's now a comprehensive background on sunscreens to learn and decide what works best for you without clouding your judgments. This book upholds an impartial view of how sunscreens came into existence as a protective shield against the UV rays while shedding light on the skin condition caused by prolonged sun exposure.
• History and inventors of sunscreens: Reveals the roots, techniques, and mindsets behind the invention of sunscreen from the early civilization to the modern era.
• Factors to maintain healthy skin: Accentuates the effects of skin melanin on the skin while emphasizing the benefits of a balanced diet on smooth and healthy-looking skin.
• Sun-damaged skin conditions: Outlines various mild to severe skin conditions and diseases that develop due to sun damage, like sunburns, actinic keratosis, skin cancer.
This book is not for those who think ignorance is bliss. Sunscreens might be in debates for years to come but this book provides a holistic view of how sunscreens, diets, and skin pigmentations are tied to skin protection by a common thread.
