 Green Beauty Tip
Are you soaking up enough Vitamin D from the sun?
Adequate Vitamin D is critical for maintaining good health. In the summer months, you should not have to supplement with Vitamin D since your body produces it from the sun.
But did you know that sunscreen can block your body's ability to generate Vitamin D? According to Gillian Deacon in the book There's Lead in Your Lipstick, "Even weak sunscreens, as low as SPF 8, block the body's ability to generate Vitamin D by 95%!"
As a rule of thumb, everyone needs at least 15-20 minutes of direct sun exposure without sunscreen to produce adequate amounts of Vitamin D. To prevent risk of burning, this can be during non-peak hours (i.e., before 11am and after 4pm).
