SUNSCREENS THAT CAN CAUSE CANCER YOU NEED TO AVOID

Hi guys, so y'all already know that I'm such a huge fan of sunscreens. I mean I can't talk about skin care without mentioning sunscreen; but the truth is that not all sunscreens are safe to use. One of the most dangerous chemicals to look out for in a sunscreen, is Benzene! Sadly, most of these products won't list Benzene as part of the ingredients.

Exposure to Benzene can cause irritation, and blisters on the skin, and when ingested, can lead to death! Recently, a top skin care brand JOHNSON & JOHNSON recalled five of their sunscreens because they found traces of this cancer causing chemical in them. These were spray sunscreens - though I'm not a fan of, but my husband had one of them. Thankfully, he hasn't used it for long.

They found this chemical after testing the products in the lab, and according to them, they are investigating to know how these products were contaminated. But for now, they've asked everyone to stop using them, and if you're in possession of one, you can call them for a refund on their customer care line 1-800-458-1673.

These products were all packaged in aerosol cans, and they are

1. Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen




2. Four Neutrogena sunscreen versions:

*Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen




*CoolDry Sport aerosol sunscreen




*Invisible Daily Defense aerosol sunscreen,



and

*UltraSheer aerosol sunscreen





This recall includes all can sizes, and all levels of SPF(Sun Protection Factor).


I attached pictures to help you guys confirm if you have any of these products. If you do, please discard immediately.

Take care, and stay safe!

9 Psychological Facts About Love

Let me start by saying that I'm not a love nor a relationship expert; but I've found these to be true. Growing up, I never questioned what love is because I had a lot of it from my family; and I'll simply tell anyone that love is genuine care, and selflessness.  I once read a Christian book that said that Agape Love  is the purest form of love, but I'm not defining what love is, or is not, today! Below, I'll be sharing some psychological facts about love especially for romantic relationships . Photo Credit : Unsplash

I Do Not Conform

This is just one of those topics I didn’t think deeply about; just some random thoughts on a random rainy cold night, put into writing! You ever scrolled through social media, and saw one of those posts that say “A woman is 'supposed to'….”? Oh my! How much I detest stuff like that.

How Living A Private Life Can Make You Stronger And Happier

Sighs...  We live in a generation where people feel like, or think that if you aren't posting nor sharing almost every moment of your life on social media, then nothing good is happening to you; and you're sad. I’ll be sharing this based on my personal experience; but let me explain what it means to live a private life. It means not sharing every personal detail about your life publicly. However, privacy is not the same as secrecy because people often confuse the two. Also, living a private life doesn't mean that you shouldn’t ask for help when you're in dire need of it. As an introvert, I keep most personal stuff to myself; but I used to trust easily until I learned the hard way. I learned that not everyone means well for you; and the scary part of it is that you may never know.  Photo Credit: Deposit photos
