8/18/2023 0 Comments No ad sunscreen 15Great question! Depending on the formulation technology, you may achieve the same SPF while using less amount of Active Ingredients (so that the cost is less too), this must be the case, as long as they have clinical test data to back up their SPF claim, but, who knows? Sometimes, the testing lab not so good they may not follow test procotol correctly and produce false data. Does the percentage of the active ingredients matter, or is it only important to look at the SPF number? For example, if one sunscreen has Zinc Oxide (10.0%), Titanium Dioxide (7.5%) as the active ingredients, and another one has Titanium Dioxide 4%, Zinc Oxide 4%, but they both say SPF 50, are they both equally effective, or is the higher percentage better? My Dad the Chemist’s take on active ingredient percentages My message to My Dad the Chemist Let’s see what my Dad the Chemist thinks. Now I have to add yet another layer to my search?…Active ingredient percentage? The other sunscreens I’ve used in the past, including Olay Sensitive Skin Moisturizer SPF 15 and NO-AD Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 were both listed as recommended products.Īnyway, back to the percentage of active ingredients…is this yet another thing we have to watch out for when we look at the label? The path for me goes: look for the words SPF 30+ -> look for “broad spectrum” -> look for physical sunscreen ingredients ->look for the words non-comedogenic. I was sad to see that my latest favorite, Australian Gold, wasn’t listed there, but that might not mean anything (I hope). You can visit the site to see if your favorite sunscreen earned the Seal of Recommendation. However, it can’t hurt for a product to have this Seal of Recommendation, right? It doesn’t provide much data about how the committee validates the claims in the scientific data that manufacturers provide. According to the website, in order to gain a Seal of Recommendation, the manufacturer must give proof (scientific data) that its product can successfully block ultraviolet radiation. The Skin Cancer Foundation has something called a Seal of Recommendation that it gives to select sunscreens. Is there anything we should be looking for? The study concluded that in order to help ensure that you’re getting a sunscreen that delivered true SPF 30 protection, it may be safer to buy a sunscreen with an SPF that’s higher than 30. It also found that 80 percent of the chemical sunscreens they tested with an SPF claim of 40–100 were found to deliver at least SPF 30, while only 20 percent of mineral sunscreens held true to that claim. In 2016, Consumer Reports conducted a study that found that almost half of sunscreens (and almost 75% of natural sunscreens) did not pass tests that verified the SPF claims on their labels. SPF claims! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing? So the FDA has published this Industry Guidance for nonprescription sunscreen drug products. I did some research on the topic, and by “research”, I mean that I frantically Googled things like, “spf claims lab test”, “how to check spf claims”, “spf sunscreen test results”, “independent lab sunscreen spf effectiveness”…but I only came back with a few findings.

That's not to say Duke Nukem 3D didn't have a delicious cake hiding under its lurid layer of frosting. Sure, maybe a set of pasties stood between me and True Nudity, but that two-frame "shake it, baby" animation (from a stripper who, in retrospect, looks like a Minecraft project) taught my teenage brain the wonders of Duke Nukem.ĭuke Nukem's relationship with women is. The prospect of nudity brought me to the series, though, before you judge, please remember this type of titillation didn't come easy before advances in Internet technology made the most horrific pornography immediately accessible to any child.Ī friend with the game had been talking up its most salacious features, and when I went to his house to confirm what, at first, seemed like your typical playground rumors, he turned out to be telling the truth. Duke Nukem 3D released just as my adolescence reached critical mass, and 3D Realms' ambitious first-person shooter provided all the unnecessary violence, sexual content, and profanity my developing brain craved. This week: That Frankenstein's Monster of a first-person shooter, Duke Nukem Forever.įor a good decade, no punchline in gaming had more of an immediate effect than the words "Duke Nukem Forever." As the '90s slipped into the '00s and Duke's high-octane brand of machismo aged about as well as the leathery faces of our real-life action stars, Forever-clearly a nod to Batman's mid-'90s fall from grace-allowed us to distance ourselves from the character we'd fallen for so long ago. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.Įvery Thursday this August (and occasionally one Saturday in September), Gaming's Greatest Flops will examine one of our industry's biggest failures in an attempt to understand what went wrong. This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. 8/18/2023 0 Comments Facetune for bodyYou don’t post on Facetune or apps like it, so they’re easy to gloss over. This is because Facetune (and similar platforms) just facilitate what happens on other apps. Studies have long examined the direct link between social media and eating disorders (we have a whole blog post about it, too), but they often leave out the negative effects of filtering apps like the Facetune app. There are likely some kids today that have probably never not posted a Facetune selfie - ever. Eventually, some kids will come to feel that they can’t post anything but edited photos online, and this can make them feel like they can’t present their real selves to the greater world. So they post another edited photo, and it becomes a vicious cycle. But in the long term, it can make them feel bad about themselves because they know their real-life self does not match what they put online. If they use the reshape tool to make themselves look thinner in an Instagram post, it can make them feel better in the short term (in the form of validating likes and comments). Or if they managed to get rid of a stain on the front of their shirt in a photo with grandma.īut things get tricky when a kid starts using the app to dramatically alter the way they look - consistently. You probably wouldn’t mind if your child used the Facetune app to remove a stranger from the background of the photo your family took in front of the castle at Disney World. The thing about using Facetune is that it’s such a slippery slope. In addition to changing aspects of your face and body, you can also do more artistic editing, like defocusing backgrounds, changing the size of a photo, and creating new color palettes to match clothing. Patch: This spot tool enables you to magically erase pimples, birthmarks, freckles, or even a crumb of food from your face.Reshape: Perhaps the most problematic feature of Facetune, this tool lets you literally change the shape of your face or body - from sculpting a thinner jawline to digitally removing 20 pounds from your body’s frame.Details: With this, you can create a greater focus on a specific feature like eyes, nose, or lips.Smooth: This lets you flatten out wrinkles (less a worry for kids, obviously) and rough spots on skin.Whiten: You can use this feature to whiten your eyes, teeth, or even skin.Some of the more popular editing tools include: But instead of requiring professional cameras and a powerful computer, you simply upload a photo from your phone and can then modify it in a ton of different ways. Think of the Facetune app like a smaller, easier-to-use version of Photoshop, the popular photo-editing app used by professionals around the world. In this post, we’ll discuss how Facetune works, how it can negatively affect children, and ways to talk with your child about body image. One of the most chilling things about the Facetune app is that in the App Store, the company recommends it for kids “4 and above.” You don’t have to be a child psychologist to see how apps like Facetune can create unrealistic body standards and create self-image issues for children. The unfortunate thing is that kids are, too. In 2021, more than 30 million people downloaded the app on iPhone alone, a sign that people continue to be concerned with removing blemishes and whitening teeth in selfies. Today, tons of platforms have built-in filters and photo editing tools, but one app helped originally launch the trend back in 2013, and it’s still going strong today: Facetune. 8/18/2023 0 Comments Tim weatherspoon weddingKelly Rowland was once voted seventh in People’s “Top 100 Most Beautiful Women in the World”, so it goes without saying that the singer has had more than her fair share of attention from men over the years!
