Did you know?...Be careful sensitive skin

DID YOU KNOW?*acne prone skin holds onto 4 to 5 more dead skin cells than normal skin, causing the skin to become infected.
Tips!
SPF: anything higher than spf 30 adds way more chemicals than anything below. the chemicals are not necessarily hazardous, though the more chemicals the more chance you have of having a bad reaction to the product. BE CAREFUL SENSITIVE SKIN!!!  you should apply spf 30 every two hours unless you are perspiring in which case you should apply more frequently.
* there are two types of SPF( sun protection factor)
   a.) chemical- goes deep down into skin creating a barrier
   b.) physical- sun bounces off skin and reflects
* children under 6 months should not wears sun screen. older than 6 months yet still a baby? stick with SPF 15
* caffeine, when applied topically, detoxifies the body... interesting.
