PROTECT YOUR CLIENT'S SKIN FROM UV DAMAGE AND SUN-AGEING WITH
THE SUNSCREEN DIET

Online class + practitioner toolkit

Your clients trust you to help them protect their skin from UV damage, sun-ageing and skin cancer

But what if everythign you've been taught about sun protection is wrong

The uncomfortable truth is that topical sunscreen can only lower the risk of Malignant Melanoma by 50% and non-Melanoma skin cancers by 40%.  This means that sunscreen is only HALF of the solution against skin cancer. And sunscreen can contain some unhealthy hormone-disrupting chemicals and it blocks the skin from making vitamin D (a cancer-protective vitamin).

Of course, we are not telling you that your clients shouldn't use sunscreen at all.  We are telling you that scientific truth that there are multiple phytochemicals in botanicals and plant-based foods that are already proven to prevent UV damage and skin cancer, naturally. And many of these phytochemicals offer more protection than sunscreen. We call it 'Dietary Sunscreen'

BUT YOU WON'T HEAR THE BILLION DOLLAR SUNSCREEN INDUSTRY TELL YOU THAT.

They won't admit that sunscreen is only half of the solution and that dietary phytochemicals from functional foods is just as important.

Dietary sunscreen is a fast-growing area of science because so many studies have shown that food components are potent protectors of the skin against UV-induced cancers and sun-ageing. The research has prompted many scientists to say that the BEST form of sun protection is topical sunscreen AND dietary sunscreen used together for a broad-spectrum solution.

What if there was another way? A better way.

A solution for your clients that was more effective at protecting their skin but also aligned with YOUR holistic values and integrative skin health approach: DIETARY SUNSCREEN is the full-spectrum solution to fight sun-damage and skin cancer from within using powerful phytochemicals found in plant-foods
In recent years, considerable interest has been focused on identifying naturally occurring botanicals, specifically dietary, for the prevention of photocarcinogenesis. A wide variety of botanicals, mostly dietary flavonoids or phenolic substances, have been reported to possess substantial anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic activities because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

 During my work as a skincare formulator I noticed that so many cosmetic ingredients were foods or food extracts, I realised that the power to beautify, treat and rejuvenate the skin was in diet, nutrition and food...not skincare products
