    Two of the strangest skin care innovations

    At beautyheaven, we love hearing about new approaches to skincare. These two got our vote for the most unusual this week:

     

    Drinkable sunscreen

    Ever miss a spot when you apply your sunscreen? Not anymore! The world’s first ingestible sunscreen claims to block 97 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays by making water molecules vibrate on the skin. While the prospect of drinking just 2mls of Harmonized H20 for SP30 protection sounds appealing, the new product has attracted some scepticism regarding it’s efficacy. For now, we think we’ll stick to the old-fashioned slip, slop, slap.

    Vitamin C showers

    We all know the importance of vitamin C in our diet, but did you know you can also get it in your shower? With a celebrity following that reportedly includes Leonardo DiCaprio, vitamin infused shower heads claim to reduce the side effects of chlorine exposure – including dry skin, frizzy hair and dandruff – by neutralising the chemical with vitamin Cbefore it hits your head. Unsurprisingly, critics are divided as to whether the filters actually provide any real health advantage.

    They both sound totally unbelievable!

    Anitas Artistry 22 May 2014 2:54 AM

    Seriously, drinkable sunscreen??

    Jenniqua 22 May 2014 2:04 AM

    I would love to see much more in the drinkable steaks. Drinkable bronzing, moisturiser and hair colour, how fantastic and easy would that be.

    Faboosh 22 May 2014 1:37 AM

    drinking sunscreen?! :/ no thanks

    Michelle240 22 May 2014 12:12 AM

    Drinkable sunscreen!!

    MsSparkles 21 May 2014 10:53 PM

    Drinkable sunscreen??? How AWFUL would that taste haha... I'd rather drink the Vit C and shower in the suncreen thank yoouuu!

    sound like something that i wouldn't want to try. Drinkable sunscreen already put me off from the concept of it. How can they ensure that there won't be any residual from the drink left in the body after certain hours. It cant be wash off like normal sunscreen since it is in your body. Vitamin C shower...really? Vitamin C is water soluble...so it pretty much will be wasted in the shower.

    Im a bit sceptical of these too.

    DeannaBoon 21 May 2014 3:00 PM

    Does vitamin c shower actually works?

    Ssajwani 21 May 2014 2:52 PM

    different and interesting!

    Ellelily 21 May 2014 1:55 PM

    Both of these ideas sound very strange to me. And Im not sure if i would like to drink spf

    Beautybabe140194 21 May 2014 1:33 PM

    These sound a bit weird to me

    Iman 21 May 2014 12:43 PM

    I think drinking vitamin C would actually be better for our skin then just showering in it.

    Jasmen111 21 May 2014 11:37 AM

    this is my first time hearing about drinkable sunscreen!

    bebeautiful34 21 May 2014 11:21 AM

    Hmm, I'm very sceptical

    Rose_P 21 May 2014 11:12 AM

    Can't see myself drinking sunscreen anytime soon. Doesn't sound very appealing to me at all.

    ModernSnowWhite 21 May 2014 10:13 AM

    I'd be scared of the chemicals in drinkable sunscreen.... Doesn't sound safe. I prefer to stay in the shade and wear sunscreen.

    fluffnut 21 May 2014 9:57 AM

    Drinkable sunscreen sounds very strange.

    Sam91 21 May 2014 9:27 AM

    I'll stick to my physical sunscreens...

    MissChriss 21 May 2014 9:14 AM

    I've heard of drinkable sunscreen, even all natural drinkable sunscreen. Not sure if they actually work though, and I don't want to be a guinea pig for that.. I'd love to get my hands on the vitamin c shower head thing though :)

    Chickybabe1 21 May 2014 8:52 AM

    Not sure about the drinkable sunscreen.

    Beckky 21 May 2014 7:52 AM

    Drinking sunscreen? Confused :(

    talk-a-lot 21 May 2014 7:03 AM

    Drinkable sunscreen, mmm, I just don't know, not for me, I would want more testing on the product I think.

    Bobbin01 21 May 2014 6:50 AM

    Both of these sound like gimmicks for suckers. Drinkable sunscreen sounds like a joke product and I would wonder how it affected other parts of the body, not just skin

    Petal 21 May 2014 6:49 AM

    Our bodies are already dealing with countless chemicals, so I wouldn't drink sunscreen. I'm interested in a shower head that reduces chlorine because it is a chemical (among others) that may effect the thyroid, and I have a thyroid condition. I haven't done the research as to whether a vitamin C shower head is better than other types of shower heads.
