Despite the face that there's still snow on the ground, it's getting time to think about sunscreens again. I was shopping last weekend and noticed that the stores have started with the sunscreen displays already. Before you start shopping based on package claims, don't forget to check out the Sunscreen Database. Don't forget to read those labels! It's a little counterintuitive to slather on a sunscreen to prevent skin cancer if said sunscreen is laden with cancer-causing chemicals! Also, although I really love them for their ease of application,
the spray sunscreens aren't really so fantastic. Check out #1 on the list of Sun Screen Don'ts from the database for more info on that. (Harmful if inhaled--easy to miss or under apply)
My hope is that if enough of us start thinking about playing-outside-weather it'll appear! Think sunny thoughts!
This blog is a journal of how I'm working to make my home greener and healthier for my family. From cloth diapering, to organic shopping to discussing vegetarianism with a 6-year-old, I'm hoping to continue to motivate myself to push ahead in my journey to be as green and healthy as the 6 of us can be.
