How often does this happen? You wake up, brush your teeth with organic toothpaste, style your hair with cruelty-free product, make your adaptogen-loaded smoothie, and head outside to greet the sun. You’re loving on every part of your body\u2014except one very, very important thing.<\/p>\n
Your skin.<\/p>\n
Your skin counts for 15 percent of your body. It’s your largest organ. And yet it’s the one that is way too-often neglected. We’re too busy to apply sunscreen, or perhaps we don’t think we “need” it. (All you folks out there with natural tans and nary a sunburn, we’re looking at you.) While you may think you can skip the sunscreen, it’s a really bad idea to do so.<\/p>\n
One in five<\/a>\u00a0Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin each year in the U.S. than all the other cancers combined.\u00a0<\/em>And treating skin cancer can cost a pretty penny\u2014the annual cost of such treatment is estimated at a grand total of $1.8 billion a year. Uh, no thank you.<\/p>\n Be smart about your skin. Use organic, mineral-loaded sunscreen<\/a> and apply daily. Make it as much of your routine as brushing your teeth. It’s the obvious choice.<\/p>\n
