Wellness on Wednesday is all about the natural you!Its wintertime and with the lovely snow pack comes lots of winter sports fun. Whether youre a skier, snowboarder, or cross country enthusiast, there is one part of your anatomy that is crying out for protection - and no, its not your bruised behind! - its your delicate nose, that wonderful appendage that helps you appreciate the crisp smell of a lovely winter morning, the rich aroma of hot cocoa, and so graciously holds up your sunglasses so youre not blinded by winter glare.So give your nose a break and pamper it as it deserves with a safe, natural, and effective sunscreen. With no mandatory, comprehensive sunscreen standards in place, products vary widely in safety and effectiveness. Luckily, the non-profit Environmental Working Group EWG has tested and compiled a list of top sunscreens. On their top ten list is California Babys No Fragrance, Face and Body, SPF 30 Sunscreen, a personal favorite. This natural sunscreen is PABA free, non-chemical, and great for people with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies - even babies!The EWG found that 4 out of 5 sunscreen products offer inadequate protection from the sun, or contain ingredients with significant safety concerns. EWG has identified products that offer very good sun protection with ingredients that present minimal health risks to users. So protect your nose and your health and choose and use a safe, natural, and effective sunscreen everyday. Your nose will be ever so glad you did!
