SUNSCREEN?

 
 
It seems like everyone's talking about sunscreen these days. Is it safe? Does it work? Is it really reducing skin cancer? Here's a link to an interesting article about foods that help protect your skin: Five Foods to Protect From Sunburn and Skin Cancer   So, while you're trying to decide whether or not to put on that sunscreen, eat some leafy greens and dark chocolate. It seems that eating Brazil nuts may also be helpful... something to think about!

Incidentally, I am always on the lookout for an effective, all natural sunscreen that's safe to use on my kids as well as myself. My current favourites are Green Beaver and Badger. They feel a little greasy so they're not great for faces, but are easy to apply and work quite well.
