Hi There!

Summer is here, and while hopefully we're all taking time to enjoy it, I want to remind you to make sure you're effectively protecting yourself and your loved ones from the sun, so here's a few tips:

1) Check the expiration on your sunscreen. Many people don't realize that sunscreens lose their effectiveness over time. Check the date and toss it if it's bad!

2) Make sure you apply it as its suggested!

3) BE AWARE WHAT'S IN YOUR SUNSCREEN! READ THE LABELS! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

There has been a huge amount of media coverage surrounding a report last week from the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org) where they tested around 1,000 sunscreens. The results are pretty surprising! The companies that have the big marketing budgets tended to have the worst ratings!

Oh, by the way, we had the (tied for) 5th best! (Only shameless plug of the blog!)

Have a great summer!
