How Much Vitamin D Is Enough?

How Much Vitamin D Is Enough?


Living in Australia, growing up in the era of the famed 'Slip, Slop, Slap' campaign, and having extensive knowledge of skin and how it works has given me great appreciation for it and allows me to do everything in my power to take care of it!

When it comes to sun protection, I'm avid. I wear a hat, wear sunglasses, stay in the shade and wear long sleeves when I can - skin cancers run rampant here and it's something I definitely want to prevent. 

While I was giving a talk in Noosa on Sunday, someone asked me 'What about Vitamin D? And we need it, so why cover up so much?'. 

Firstly, Vitamin D produced in the skin is converted to a hormone form and activated by the liver and kidney. So if your kidneys and liver aren't functioning properly, then you're not going to be getting the amounts you need.

Most Vitamin D is acquired through fortified foods (especially in older people and in the USA). So the thought that we need to sun bake for a long time to get what need is laughable. 

There's a great calculator online that you can type in your details (Latitude + Longitude isn't exact as it was designed for the Northern Hem, but it'll give you aroundabouts) and all I need for example is 24 minutes a day. It's not a lot of exposure, and I'd get more than that walking my dogs on their morning walk alone!

But the rest of the time, especially in the heat of the day, when the sun is at it's highest, I really believe you need to be careful!

And I designed Powder Protection to help make it EASIER.

 

 

This exclusive mineral based formula is designed for everyday wear for all skin types, genders, and ages. In an easy to use, high quality vegan brush, the soft fibres will glide effortlessly over your skin to dispense the powder.
The brush has three settings- meaning you can control exactly how much powder you want to use. 
As with all Dusk by Adele products, Powder Protection is vegan, palm oil free, and no part of the powder has been tested on animals in any capacity.
The brush is a faux vegan hair brush, made of synthetic fibres - it feels beautiful and no one has been harmed in the making of it!
