She Guevera, this what what you get when you cross Communism with stupid.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made it known before that she's a beauty girlie through and through (in addition, of course, to being a progressive political leader). And on Monday while traveling in Asia, the congresswoman took to Instagram Stories to speak on a subject of which plenty American skin-care obsessives are all too aware: Sun protection is absolutely crucial, and the United States lags painfully behind other countries in terms of access to modern sunscreen ingredients.
Once again, for the cheap seats in the back: Daily sunscreen is a skin-care essential (for everyone, regardless of skin tone!) that protects against cancer, sun damage and signs of premature aging. But in the U.S., sunscreen is classified as a drug and is therefore regulated by the FDA. In theory, this is a good thing that ensures quality, safe, effective formulas make it to market. But in practice, this means that only a handful of old-school active ingredients are FDA-approved for sun protection, and many of the more advanced formulas available in countries like Japan and South Korea aren't available to U.S. consumers.
"Most of my friends know that I'm obsessed with sunscreen. It's one of my favorite things to get while traveling!" Ocasio-Cortez wrote to her social media followers, adding that "the FDA is woefully behind (think many years) on approving new sunscreen ingredients," and that "the rest of the world is literally decades ahead on sunscreen technology."
Sure, it may not seem like the most pressing of legislative issues for our political leaders to be fixating on, but the U.S. Representative is calling out this issue that's ultimately tied to the country's health and legislation. It's also been a trending topic among skin-care experts, some of whom are thrilled to see a politician addressing it.

The FDA “protects” us by prohibiting the sale of modern sunscreens in the U.S.
Is AOC supporting deregulation and medical freedom regarding sunscreen?
First off... I just got sunscreen at Dollar Tree.
second. Now the greenies are complaining not to wear sunscreen at reefs while diving, snorkeling, or swimming to “protect the environment.”
She really is stupid.
Aren’t hats and long-sleeve shirts better than oily suncreen?
I was thinkin’ mandatory umbrellas. Won’t they be blocking the sun with mirrors anytime soon?
She Guevera, this what what you get when you cross Communism with stupid.
Theresa limit to the benefit of sunscreen; after a certain point there’s no additional benefit. It’s like using 1/4 “ plywood to block sunlight, 3/4” won’t do any better.
If the climate freaks block the sun to reduce climate change why do I need sunscreen?
Why can you not find low level like SPF 4 or 8 anymore? Everything is 15 to 50 or more. I would like to have something to turn 4 hours of yard work into a half hour to an hour of exposure. I don’t need to turn it into 5 minutes of exposure.
This woman is really sick. She needs and craves attention and will make the stupidest statements in order to get it. She needs some serious therapy.
A friend recently went to Vietnam to help a friend wire a house. While there he went coral diving. In Vietnam they use a modern sunscreen that is more environmentally friendly. The trouble is, it doesn’t work.
try a natural sunscreen like coconut oil, olive or avocado oil baby oil with iodine is not recommended but used years ago.

AOC knows her priorities. Phoney.
She wants to make it metric or something..
Sandy Cortez is a real crackup. A one of a kind ditzy, dumb broad.
She should talk to Pfiser. They can get anything approved without clinical trials.

What’s the SPF on full coverage by ants I wonder???
Put her to work in a Brothel so she will not be exposed to the sun or any of us for that matter.
