The Sunscreen Breakdown: What's Really in the Bottle?
When it comes to picking a sunscreen for your family, remember to go for a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF over 30. The SCF also recommends a non-aerosol and mineral sunscreen. Check the bottle’s ingredients and watch out for skin irritation. According to the AAD, the benefits of wearing sunscreen outweigh the costs. So lather up and get out there!
