What ingredients in a sunscreen are harmful with Tom Ferries of Beyond Coastal Sun Care

Tom Ferries, Marketing Manager at Beyond Coastal Sun Care, that sells both an All natural and an Active line of sun screens and lip balms joins eHealth Radio and the Skin Care Channel.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Tom Ferries discuss the following:What should a person look for when buying a Sun Screen?Difference between Active (Traditional) Sun Screen and All Natural (Mineral) Sun Screen?  What Ingredients in a sun screen are harmful? Do only fair-skinned people need sunscreen? Can sunscreen help prevent skin cancer?
Duration: 11:24
Years of sun exposure and the ensuing effects drove Shawn Biega to start Beyond Coastal Suncare. A diehard skier and surfer, Shawn and his cohorts spent endless hours in the sun year-round, every day their skin taking a beating. Although they wore sunscreen, too many of his friends were being diagnosed with skin cancer. After some initial research Shawn was disappointed to find the sun care market filled with greasy, chemical laden formulas that claimed broad spectrum protection.
After years of research and testing (on himself, not animals!) in surf breaks, skate parks, and ski slopes, in 2006, Beyond Coastal Suncare was born.
Two years later we grew a bit and relocated to Utah's Wasatch Mountains. We miss the surf, but love the skiing! The outdoor opportunities are plentiful in Utah and the sun is harsh. This combination continues to spur our constant research into better sun care.
As individuals we are parents, athletes, consumers and concerned members of our global community. As a company and signatory of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics we are committed to offering your family the cleanest, healthiest sun care products possible at a reasonable price. Our formulas are crafted to offer true broad-spectrum protection and are packed with moisturizing botanical antioxidants that nourish, repair, and hydrate your skin.
We are a sun-loving culture and whatever you do to play outside, there is a healthy choice for sun protection.

Natural Facial Excercises with the Flexaway System

Tamara Seyhun, President of Hanna Ibes, Inc. d/b/a FlexAwaySystem.com who has been doing business for more than 10 years in Manufacturing and the sales of a US patented and USA made facial exerciser device the Flexaway System that has been FDA approved since 2001 joins eHealth Radio and the Anti-Aging & Skin Care Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Tamara Seyhun discuss the following:What is the Flexaway System?How does it work?  Is it safe to use?Who uses it? Why should one use this instead of seeing a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
Duration: 12:05
When looking in the mirror I was getting deflated: my chin was whittling away, upper lips seemed to be thinning out, I was getting this sad face (corners of mouth turned downward) how was that happening when I was happy? My cheeks seemed flat. Lastly that darn underneath chin whatever needed tightening, I was convinced. I began using the flexaway system in March 2013 in the middle of a blizzard.
I had been surfing the web and noticed that www.flexawaysystem.com had this facial exerciser device. I thought why not try it since I work out and lift weights and know how that has improved my body after three kids. I had also done Pilates to strengthen core muscles in the past. I have experienced first hand the benefits of exercise and how it brings back our shape. So, I thought, why not try a product that brings back the shape of my face? What did I have to lose? My double chin?
The product was tricky to use at first, and I had to watch the video and work in front of the mirror until I was comfortable.  It took about a week. It took me a while to learn how to change the tension bands. Now I use it everyday after I brush my teeth or before I go to bed. I don't use it on vacations...
I loved the Flexaway System® so much, my friends were asking me what face creams did I use? They asked me for my beauty regimen. Well, it must be working, I thought. In the Spring, I decided to become a distributor for Flexaway and called up Beverly Hanna, the inventor of Flexaway. She told me she lived in Michigan. I said I live in Michigan. We got together for lunch, she said she wanted to retire. The rest is history...
As President of www.Flexawaysystem.com, I urge you to try it so you can feel and see the benefits. We welcome you to send before and after photos and please share your experiences with us via email or on our Facebook page.
We are so confident in the Flexaway System that we offer a customer satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like the Flexaway System simply return it within six-weeks for a money back guarantee. If you have any questions about our products, please contact us. Our staff and I are here to help.
