Free radicals are one of the causes of many illnesses and they are one of the reasons for our aging. Green tea contains Vitamins — particularly a large amount of Vitamin C — minerals (fluoride, in particular), and Amino Acids.

A good sunscreen has two purposes: To begin with, it helps the skin maintain its natural oils and moisture, which cam be lost through exposure to the sun s radiation. Secondly, sunscreen also protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, whose damaging effects have increased markedly with the reduction in the atmosphere’s ozone layer.

Sunlight causes skin pigment cells, called melanocytes, to synthesize increased amounts of melanin, giving the skin a protective pigment or tan. But, while increased melanin can act as a natural filter to keep harmful UV radiation from penetrating further into the skin, using sunscreen with a high SPF is still important, especially if you are fair-skinned or have a family history of cancer.

As well as containing moisturizing properties, Avocado oil, Sesame oil and Shea Butter contain a low SPF sunscreen. However, they have only a limited VA/UVB-filtering ability, thus you should not use them as your only skin protection. For a natural sunscreen with a higher SPF, use a commercial sunscreen with titanium dioxide.
