As the summer winds down and its time to enjoy and relish the last month of summer by going out to the beach, for outdoor activities, or just staying out in the summer and soak the hues of golden goodness for one last month before the beautiful fall colors start showing up everywhere.
The most expensive sunscreen lotion may not always offer the best protection, according to Gitte Lasby of the Journal Sentinel, who cites in the Consumer Report 2013 test of sunscreen, which says, "Paying more may not buy more protection. The least effective sunscreens were among the priciest. In fact, two of the tested sunscreens were poor against UVB rays, which causes sunburn and contribute to skin cancer, and one of them was just fair for ultraviolet A (UVA) protection, which tans and ages skin, and also contribute to skin cancer.” You can read the full report here.
