[quote:Ice Princess:MV8xMDgwOTM5XzE3MjAyMzc3X0UyOTgyRUND] I rarely use sunscreen either though I am half Irish and English. I tan before burning usually but I just avoid the sun, I will hang out under an umbrella at the beach and wear a hat before I'll slather myself in chemicals. My little ones rarely get sunscreen unless we are at the beach but what I do is put them in those short-sleeved suits and hats then they only need sunscreen on their arms, below the knees and their feet. Some sun is good. I know someone who avoided the sun all his life cuz he's pasty white and burns, but he got skin cancer at age 50, on his toe of all places. If you can, try to get 10 minutes a day or so of morning sun on your skin. If I found out for sure the world was ending in 2012 I would tan myself all the time. That would be so nice. [/quote]

Just saw this on CNN... Will look for and post a link... but they say that they have known for at least a decade that sunscreens containing Vitamin A cause or accelerate skin cancer... but they are also saying dont stop using your sunscreen.... they just make me sick
As for sunscreens now available on the market, EWG researchers recommend only 39 of 500 beach and sport sunscreens. The reason? A surge in exaggerated SPF claims above 50 and new disclosures about potentially hazardous ingredients, in particular recently developed government data linking the common sunscreen ingredient vitamin A to accelerated development of skin tumors and lesions.
