MAKEUP SPRING CLEANING
News you could use 🙂
How many times have you thought about keeping that old makeup and even worse used it? I get it. Makeup is expensive, and sometimes we overbuy, or over experiment – then we end up wasting those hard to come buy dollars.
Nevertheless, makeup does have an expiration date, and we should be cautious to follow the suggestions given on its use.

SPF HAIR, Beauty & Wellness
Have you ever thought about using SPF on your hair during the months when you may be spending a lot of time on the beach, playing tennis, or just being outdoors during sunny days? Probably not.
It turns out that SPF for haircare is something we should pay attention to. Not only should we protect our bodies, we should also spray sunscreen on our scalps.
Hairblues has discussed this topic before, but I can not say it often enough. People of color NEED to use SUNSCREEN. See the excerpt below for details.
Health experts advise everyone, regardless of skin color, to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Although dark-skinned people won’t get sunburned as quickly, they will still burn and are still susceptible to sun-induced damage—such as sun spots and wrinkles—and cancer .

As the Cancer Foundation states:
“Everyone under the sun needs to use sunscreen“.
“If you use an SPF 30 product properly, it would take you 30 times longer to burn than if you used no sunscreen“.
This includes children and babies.
Reminder you want to purchase products that do not have Oxybenzone and Octinoxate
