The time has come for sunscreen again. My
least favorite part of summer. I got my first sunburn earlier
this week (minor, thankfully!) and this weekend it’s sunny and
80s, so no more excuses. Normally I’d just slather on the
leftovers from last year’s stash, knowing I should buy new
stuff, but no bothering. This year, however, I read a report
about how sunscreens don’t protect against UVA light, have
misleading claims of effectiveness, and contain potentially
cancer causing chemicals. Kind of a “damned if you do, damned
if you don’t” situation! So now I find myself wondering if I
should use the same old Aveeno that we like, or shell out for
higher quality, hopefully useful stuff. Or just let ’em burn!!
Just kidding, of course! There will be no sunburns on my pale
babies!
