Why You Need Vitamin D

UV rays are an important - and very efficient - source of Vitamin D, which helps prevent osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and cancer. But you can still apply sunscreen every day, and get all of the Vitamin D that you need.

• You only need about 10-15 minutes of exposure per day, and that can come through any part of your body—your hands, your arms, etc. If you’re going to be outdoors, you still need sunscreen on your face!
• That UV exposure doesn’t have to be between the hours of 10-2. Go outside during off-peak hours.
• You can get vitamin D from a variety of sources,including salmon and eggs. Milk, orange juice, yogurt, and cheese are also frequently fortified with Vitamin D. And you can always get Vitamin D from vitamin supplements.

There are things that we all need to be concerned about, but getting sufficient amounts of Vitamin D doesn’t need to be one of them. Stick with the sunscreen. Are you looking for a good facial sunscreen? Try ZO Skin Health Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30.
