We're told it's "good for us" and will "protect our skin", but do we know the truths behind sunscreen? You may be surprised!
I wont go into too much detail here but I reccomend you visit Environmental Working Group's 2010 Sunscreen Guide * to absorb some interesting facts before the sunscreen absorbs into your skin.
Don't get me wrong, Im not against sunscreen, especially coming from New Zealand where you can fry in the sun within 10 minutes, but I do recommend taking a moment to get informed, before you run to the chemist to buy the lastest new big brand sunscreen you saw advertised recently. Information is power!
* Nb. EWG's website is American based so your commonly used sunscreen may not be listed but the information and facts about the ingredients are relevant in every country.
