We prefer pool evenings instead of pool days! No sunscreen involved. I don't trust the crap!!! With it being summer I thought I would share with everyone the fact that not all sun screens are alike. Some sunscreens will actually increase the rate at which skin cancer will grow or increase your chances of getting it. The culprit Vitamin A. Please be careful about sunscreen only use it when you absolutley have no choice.
Here is a link to help you pick out the safest sunscreen

From the EWG site:
The best sunscreen is a hat and a shirt. No chemicals to absorb through the skin, no questions about whether they work. But when you can’t get away from exposing your skin to the sun, use EWG’s top-rated sunscreens to provide broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB-sunburn) protection with fewer hazardous chemicals that penetrate the skin. Sunscreen and sunblock makers are awaiting FDA approval for a wider selection of UVA-blocking chemicals. In the meantime, all top-rated products contain either zinc or titanium minerals to help cut UVA exposures for sunscreen users.
Choose from among our top-rated sunscreens for broad spectrum protection with fewer hazardous ingredients. And follow our sun safety tips to protect your skin for a lifetime.
