I love my Elemis Liquid Layer. Kind of pricey but I love the texture of it and it's non greasy feel. |

Yeah anyone can use it. I'm 18 and I love it. Let me know how you get on with it? It does feel a little thicker than a lotion but goes onto the skin really easily and doesn't feel sticky or greasy. I swear by it. It has titanium oxide in it so it's relatively photostable. |

(and brands like Blue Lizard, Peter Thomas Roth are some of the safest and best). I realize people will embrace and continue to buy products that are popular and bad for them-we have a thriving fast food industry which proves people don't put their care that much about the future of their health, and we have a giant trash, pollution and global warming problem most people turn a blind eye to things they can do individually like recycle or take mass transit or participate less in planned absolecence by not generating so much waste. I just want to say before you buy a product that can effect your health (and sunscreen is an over the counter drug) to do some research. ....and there is such a thing as sun poisoning. It consists of second degree burns (Destruction of the dermis), dehydration, fever, and sometimes infection from the destruction of the dermis if a person is immunocompromised, also sun poison can cause-if it extensive enough-electrolyte imbalances in the body. These are the little ions-positive and negatively charged-which do their little dance of polarization and repolarization so that muscles of the heart can contract, and things like wastes get pumped out of a cell and nutrition gets pumped into a cell's selectively permeable membrane. In otherwords-burn badly enough and you can die. It can happen with sunscreen on too. The skin is a living breathing organ, the largest in the body.... |
