Avoid DIY Sunscreen Mistakes Now!

🌞 While we love the beautiful content made by nara smith, please pass on trying this at home as it's dangerous! 🌞 DIY Sunscreen Isn't Safe! Here's Why:
* Inconsistent Protection: DIY sunscreens often lack the rigorous testing that commercial products undergo, leading to uneven and unreliable protection against harmful UV rays.
* Incorrect SPF: It's challenging to measure and achieve the correct Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in homemade sunscreens, which means your skin might not be as protected as you think.
* Ingredient Safety: Some ingredients used in DIY recipes might not be safe for prolonged sun exposure, potentially causing skin irritation or other adverse reactions.
* Lack of Broad-Spectrum Protection: Many DIY formulations fail to provide broad-spectrum protection, leaving your skin vulnerable to both UVA and UVB rays.
* Expert Formulations: Commercial sunscreens are formulated and tested by professionals to ensure they provide effective and safe sun protection. Trust the experts and use products that are scientifically proven to work!
Stay safe and keep your skin protected with tried-and-true sunscreen products!

"We all burn pretty easily." This is a way to make it easier I guess 🤷🏾‍♀️

Baking is chemistry, but this is a recipe to end up baked. Its not like chemists spend time in a sterile environment running constant tests to ensure formulas are efficacious

Im so sick of all these lifestyle gurus who think they know everything and are spreading misinformation. I don't understand the obsession with these peoples lives. Thanks for clearing this up doc

I’m so tired of these two never having anything in their house except the raw ingredients to make literally anything and everything.

‘We ran out of sunscreen’, and y’all just had zinc laying around than a regular item like SUNSCREEN?!??

I have no problem with her making homemade pbjs, homemade bread, homemade chewing gum. Making homemade sunscreen is not it.

Exactly how I'd expect someone who makes their own sunscreen to look....

As a jack of all trades(mother, medical esthetician, makeup artist, nail artist, florist, baker, chef, etc) I am ALL for making things at home but skincare is where I draw the line, ESPECIALLY when it comes to sunscreen. They are crazy.

Ppl going to be making their own Ozempic soon...just wait

[baybeetricia]

It's the blinking for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are hilarious Dr. Stephens 😂😂😂

[annknows]

Oh lordy people it's not the dark ages. Believe whatever at your own risk, but I wear sunscreen because I don't want to look like an old leather couch in 5 years.

[maddie]

If you think this is a joke, someone recently told me that sunscreen causes cancer and that I need to use coconut oil

[beema]

It’s the disappointment on Dr. Alexis’ face. 😩😂😂

[idontarguewithpeasants]

I’m sorry but that influencer in particular is not very genuine. She steals content ideas also.

[bjones]

This is HORRIBLE because someone may suffer because of this.

[peacelove]

Well, that is definitely a faster way to speed up that burning into roasting, no doubt lool 😅😅😅😂😂
