Enjoy fresh beginnings with Human Nature all-natural SafeProtect SPF 30 Sunscreen

Stepping out may be the simplest way to be fitter, healthier and happier.

Studies show that being surrounded by greenery helps you work out better, improves concentration, and contributes to over-all mental health.

A recent story published by the National Geographic titled “This is Your Brain On Nature” reports that people who spend time outdoor have experienced lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, drops in blood pressure and more positive feelings.

“Being outdoors provides an endless pursuit for learning, exploration and discovery. The outdoors is like that; an energy that makes you connect not only to others, but more so to yourself. Once you're out there you know life's bliss,” shares Coby Sarreal of Trail Adventours, an outdoor adventure provider.

Do you want to live large outdoors but don’t know where to start?

Here are some tips from Human Nature – maker of the Philippines’ first reef-friendly sunscreen SafeProtect SPF30 Sunscreen – that’ll help you begin your nature adventures:

Ditch the gym and get moving. Never be bored at the treadmill again. The changing scenery and natural obstacles like the wind, soil and rocks makes going for a jog more interesting. Bonus: longer exercise time means more calories burned.

Join a club. Be a green traveler by joining eco-conscious outdoor clubs. Reap the benefits of immersing yourself in nature while learning how to care for it.

Do good, feel good. Participating in house builds and coastal cleanups serve a dual purpose: you’re reaping the benefits of time in the sun while helping build a better Philippines. Volunteer at organizations like Gawad Kalinga to help build homes for poor communities or sign up for a socially-conscious tour with MAD Travel to learn more.

Slather on some sun protection. Before you head out, use Human Nature SafeProtect SPF 30 Sunscreen to keep your skin safe from sun damage.

How does SafeProtect work? It’s as easy as ABC.

A-ARMORS against skin-aging UVA rays with PA ++++

UVA rays penetrate through the dermis, the second layer of the skin. Prolonged exposure causes skin aging. Because UVA rays can penetrate through clouds and glass windows, even indirect exposure to the sun can be damaging.

SafeProtect has a PA++++ rating, providing superior protection against skin-aging UVA rays whether you’re outdoors or indoors.

B – BLOCKS skin-burning UVB rays with SPF 30

UVB rays penetrate through the epidermis, the skin’s outer layer. They are the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn. UVB rays can also damage your skin year-round.

SafeProtect is an SPF 30 sunscreen. SPF 30 provides broad-spectrum shield that deflects 97% of UVB rays through natural physical particles. Meanwhile, synthetic sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat, making them uncomfortable to use during hot weather.

C- CARES for coral reefs

Think before you slather. What we use on the beach does make its way into the ocean. Over 5,000 metric tons of sunscreen containing coral-bleaching ingredients wash off from swimmers annually. Most synthetic sunscreens that contain ingredients like parabens, oxybenzone, and benzophenone which can bleach corals within just 96 hours of exposure. SafeProtect keeps your skin safe while caring for coral reefs with its 100% natural and biodegradable formulation.

Be kind to your skin while having fun in the sun. SafeProtect SPF 30 Sunscreen (P299.75, 50g; P649.75, 200g) is available at Human Nature branches nationwide. Find a store near you.
