Sun Safe

I read a great post about sunscreen the other day & have to share. Here is the original post:

I can't believe that the majority of sunscreen on the market only protects you from burning and not from skin cancer. That is horrible. Right after I read this post I checked the babies sunscreen, which is a brand I normally trust, and it failed! So here are the main points:

• The active ingredients need to be either Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide

• No sunscreen is water-proof or sweat-proof

• Use SPF 15 or 30 anything higher does more damage because of the chemicals needed to make it that high

• Apply every 2 hours

Thought this was worth sharing!
