Natural soap bars are an obsession of mine! I prefer lavender and citrus scents, but I rarely ask my husband what scent he would like. When I saw Dr. Squatch, a line of natural soap bars designed specifically for men, I thought my husband would appreciate trying something new. Their scents are designed with the great outdoors in mind.

 

I always read ingredients when it comes to soaps and prefer to buy ones made with essential oils. Dr. Squatch makes 3 soap bars that follow this criteria.  Pine Tar, Cedar Citrus, and Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt are all made with essential oils and other natural ingredients. These 5 oz bars are $6 each and are unique in their scents.

Skin Protection Against Solar Radiation

This is a sponsored post.

 

6-oz Natural SPF 30 DetailAbsorbing a little bit of sunshine is very healthy for the human body. The production of Vitamin D depends on direct exposure to sun. However, sun tanning should be done in moderation. Solar radiation can cause some serious damage to the skin. People with light complexions are at the highest risk of being sunburned.

 

With excessive sun exposure comes an increased chance of developing skin cancer. Caucasians should apply sunscreen properly in order to prevent any long term problems. Even if there isn’t a risk of cancer, excessive tanning can lead to unsightly marks such as liver sports and dark burns.

 

The purpose of sunscreen is to create a barrier between the skin and solar radiation. Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B are terms used to describe the sun’s rays that penetrate the skin. Such radiation has the potential to damage several layers of dermal tissue and individual cells. The ultimate purpose of any sunscreen is to provide temporary protection against the sun.
