Interesting indeed!!! Today while I was getting my fabulous hair extension by Georgio B, a representative from malibuwellness.com came in and was giving a sales pitch, and a couple of things really caught my attention. One of the things that she stated was that too much sunscreen is actually not good for the skin! My immediate response was to think “Ok so every dermatologist, esthetician and doctor is wrong…not to mention Oprah Magazine?? Yea right.”
but then I remembered that one of my best friends has an allergy to sunscreen so I decided to give her a call. She mentioned that she had seen some alternative mineral based zinc sunscreen that has no added chemicals but that it was pretty pricey as opposed to the fake synthetic stuff that you can get for under 8 bucks from Walmart.
Here are a few other things that I found interesting from the sales pitch:
1. too much sunscreen contains tons of chemicals that actually are more harmful to your skin than helpful in preventing sun damage. SPF 15 is the most that you should ever put on your face.
2. Vitamin C is a natural sun protectant
3. When you get a chemical peel to remove all the wear and tear of environmental wear on your face, your brand new skin is actually totally susceptible to new and worse damage from the environment because now it has no protection against the elements. When you put product on your face after a peel and it burns, it is because your skin is desperately attempting to re-balance the ph level that it does not have because you had it removed.
4. Vitamin E is really all you need to fight fine lines and wrinkles
5. Any product that comes in a jar and that you have to dip your finger into contaminates the product, as well as lets oxygen in which decreases its effectiveness every time you touch/open the jar. (umm gross dude).
Anyway, those are what I remember right off the bat, Georgi actually placed and order for some stuff so I’m going to wait to see what his results are with the product, and of course, I’ve got to get some investigation going on to see how valid her points are…this changes everything if it is indeed the truth!
