Remember what wearing sunscreen looked like in the eighties? Chalky white streaks on your face that used to wash off in the first contact with water, and then it was a struggle to get it off completely. Alongside titanium dioxide, the white-casting main ingredient was zinc, which is still a main ingredient in most mineral sunscreens.

Diet can affect our skin and energy levels. This is why I encourage people to drink more water, eat a “rainbow” of fruits and vegetables, and include foods with essential fatty acids in their diet. When I work with clients, I ask them to describe their daily diet. We then go over skin-loving foods (like leafy greens and foods rich in omega-3s fatty acids) and foods that are contraindicated for skin health. When we look over their usual choices, I’ll ask what’s on their not-so-good-for-the-skin list that they cannot live without (in other words, what are their deal breakers?). Some people might say, “I’m not going to give up my coffee, but I could carry a water bottle with me and sip water throughout the day.” It is the small changes that add up to a big difference.

There’s no shortage of scientific evidence about the role UV light plays in skin damage. Sunscreen seems like the obvious solution for protecting the skin from these damaging rays and preserving the youthfulness of your complexion. But sunscreen is one of the biggest toxic chemical culprits, which leaves very few options for proper sun protection. The good news is: there are more natural brands of sunscreen emerging. Beyond wearing sunscreen free of toxic chemicals, if I know I’m going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time, I practice what I call sun avoidance. I wear big sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection lenses along with a hat and long, thin layers to cover my arms and legs. Whenever possible, I seek out the shade. If I know that I have to be out for an extended period and I cannot avoid the sun, I will use whichever sunscreen I can find with the fewest toxic chemicals.

Our skin can be a mirror for what’s going on inside our bodies and can also reflect what it’s exposed to in our environment. I’ve found that most of my clients have accurately assessed their skin type, and you likely have as well. While I find most self-assessments to be fairly accurate, I do have to remind people that skin type isn’t a permanent marriage. It can change as we age or even over the course of a few months. Some women have dry skin for most of their lives, and then start to get a few oily patches here and there. Or some may relocate, and their new environments leave once-oily skin feeling parched. Being open to the fact that skin type can shift can help you adapt if changes occur. Sometimes skin can seem as unpredictable as life itself. Nevertheless, knowing your current skin type will help you create DIY products that will work best for you.
