sunscreen

I'm okay for now, but come July--Should I hide in the shade? Check. Ice water? Check. Consume as many popsicles as possible? Got it. Any other suggestions?

If you're applying sunscreen from a spray can this summer and wondering why you're still getting burned, you may be doing it wrong.

So, it only takes one day for 4 of the big chemicals in sunscreen to get into our bloodstreams apparently. As a mom (and wearer of sunscreen), this freaks me out a little.

Summer is almost here, and more of us will be spending time outdoors. Make sure you're using the best sunscreen to protect your skin.

I learned the hard way the importance of sunscreen!

Summer is great in Texas, on boats and at the pool. It’s all fun and games until somebody gets a nasty, blistering sunburn. I got one of those several years ago at Lake Travis in Austin. My back was bare while I was on a boat with friends, I didn’t put an ounce of sunscreen on it, and I laid on a raft for about two hours. The next day, if it had been the time period where it was cool to type OMG,

When you’re buying sunscreen, do you look for words like ‘waterproof,’ ‘sweatproof’ and ‘sunblock?’ If so, don’t bother — they may not be as bulletproof as they seem.
