FAQs

Q: Has research shown other fruit to aid in skin cancer prevention?

A: One study from the University of Alabama suggests that grape seed might play a protective role in skin cancer, reports Fox News. Specifically, the authors exposed two groups of mice to ultraviolet light. Though both groups were fed a standard diet, one group consumed grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs), while the control group didn't receive this supplement. Findings revealed that the mice that ingested the supplement had 65 percent less tumors (and smaller tumors) than the control mice.

Q: I’ve heard that UVA rays aren’t as dangerous as UVB; is this true?

A: Though UVA rays don’t cause sunburn — that’s UVB’s job — UVA does trigger photoaging (premature aging like wrinkles and sun spots) and actually penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB rays. UVA also exacerbates UVB’s effects. In addition, one study found that UVA may be more carcinogenic than UVB rays. Bottom line? It’s vital to protect yourself against both UVA and UVB rays, so make sure your sunscreen contains broad spectrum protection.

Q: What kinds of essential oils would help with my oily skin?

A: Try jasmine oil or ylang ylang, to help control sebum and purify the skin.

Q: Does cocoa butter, or any moisturizer, treat wrinkles?

A: Not really: Moisturizers can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but this effect is only temporary. For long-term anti-aging results, look to anti-wrinkle formulas.
