I want to use sunblock on my face b/c I don't want to photoage in that area
anymore than I have or have to. I lay out in the sun a few times/week to try
and get my vitamin D in the middle of the day, plus I live in Miami and I do
this in the winter too. I have been getting too much sun on my face lately and
since we all have to pick our battles, I prefer a little toxins once in a while
to wrinkles.
Many of the sunblocks at Whole Food have Titanium Dioxide. According to this
article http://www.organicmakeup.ca/ca/titaniumdioxide.asp, if the size of these
particles are very small they can damage the cell's DNA after sun exposure, so I
want to avoid this ingredient. Has anyone else looked into this and can
recommend a brand?
Thanks.
