“Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now”, so says Mary Schmich.

Of course, this is more popular in its song form that was made in the late 90s. That’s how important sunscreen is because it really does protect our skin from potential permanent damage caused by the sun’s rays.

Organic products are generally better than artificial products because they offer less harm to the human body and also use fewer resources in production. Can this be applied in organic sunscreens? Most definitely, yes. Organic sunscreens can be used by the most sensitive skins, and will not cause any harsh effects such as irritation and inflammation, solely because of the absence of chemicals and artificial ingredients. The only setback is perhaps the longevity of an organic sunscreen versus a regular sunscreen.

Organic sunscreen will not last as long as a regular sunscreen and cannot be useful for successive summer seasons. The way to handle this is to plan well, and to buy organic sunscreen just as you are about to start your summer season. You can get one bottle for the whole family, even for friends. Maximize each bottle by sharing one bottle until it gets all used up rather than simultaneously opening several bottles. Regular sunscreens do not last forever anyway since they will still contain some organic ingredients. So go for the healthier, more environmental alternative which is the organic sunscreen.
