The problem with sunscreen

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Most households in the western world have at least one sunscreen container in the bathroom cabinet. In this day and age of increased knowledge about the dangerous effects of the sun, it is important to know about the different sunscreens offered in the market and about maximizing one’s protection from the harmful exposure to the sun.
What sunscreen should one purchase? Do all sun screens fully protect against skin cancer? How much sun screen should one apply? How many times a day should we coat our skin with it?  Additional questions can and should be asked about this subject and not all questions have clear answers.
