Spending Time In The Sun? Get Extra Protection With Essential Oils
We all do our best at keeping ourselves and our kids saturated with sunscreen. But even mothers with the best of intentions may sometimes miss an application for themselves or their children. Sun damage is cumulative; it creeps up on us bought through years and years of exposure to the sun’s rays. UV light is well known to cause a cascade of oxidative radical formation within our skin’s tissues, thus leading to long-term degradation of collagen and other proteins. Damage does not only occur while we are in the sun — much of it actually happens in the hours after sun exposure. Free radicals form upon first interaction with the sun’s rays, and “cascade” into various different forms until they’ve been quenched by our own natural antioxidant defenses. Fortunately, simple home-made aromatherapy formulas can effectively do the job as well, and really help everyone’s skin stay younger.
