Daily use of spray sunscreens - Good or Bad?
Spray and powder sunscreens have suddenly become a rage! Are they really that awesome?
Chemical and mineral sunscreen filters are designed to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. However, there has been some concern about the potential health effects of using sunscreens containing certain chemicals and minerals that can be absorbed by the skin.
The good news is that studies have shown that non-nano zinc sunscreens, such as Safe Screen, can reduce the absorption issue. It's important to note that while non-nano sunscreens have limited absorption potential, they still carry a Titanium absorption risk.
If you're using powder or spray sunscreens on your face, it's essential to be mindful of the inhalation risks. Inhaling titanium can be toxic and can be a category two carcinogen, according to the European Union. Therefore, it's advisable to apply sunscreen in well-ventilated areas and avoid enclosed spaces like walk-in closets. To minimize inhalation risks, apply powder sunscreen using a wet sponge. The same applies to titanium-tinted cosmetics or powder compacts with SPF.
It's important to take responsibility for the safety of your skin and use sunscreen responsibly. While using various types of sunscreen is safe in the long run, it's crucial to be cautious and think about your daily sunscreen use. It's best to avoid using spray sunscreen on your face entirely. While powder sunscreens are slightly safer, they are not entirely safe. Therefore, it's always better to exercise caution when using sunscreen. By following these simple tips, you can protect your skin effectively and safely.
